Chef John Currence has had a long and storied history with food, cooking for the first time on a tugboat in oil fields of the Gulf of Mexico. He fell in love. Serving great breakfasts to others became his passion, and his dream was realized in 2009 when the opportunity came to open his own breakfast spot.
Big Bad Breakfast was born to give the local community a place for a great start to their day, and John ensured from the outset that every ingredient, from the sausage to the biscuits and even the jellies, was made from scratch. The popularity of the restaurant speaks volumes about both the menu and his dedication to serving memorable and nourishing meals.
Design
A mix of mid-century and contemporary design styles is evident upon entering, demonstrated by the choice of chairs, comfortable booths, and a tiled floor overlaid with a patterned carpet. Diner-style pendant lighting hangs down, and retro lamps dot the counter.
The unique use of color provides visual interest, notably the choice of two different colored diner chairs, placed with care in a diagonal fashion across the solid wood table tops. The booths, with their unassuming off white hue, are tastefully placed against the wall, accented by muted wood paneling and simple gray rectangles in place of any wall art. The interior is unassuming and tasteful, allowing guests to focus on their meal without distraction.
