Two Chicks in Reno, Nevada<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The history of slang records that the term “chick,” was first recorded in black slang as far back as 1927. \u00a0Along with the terms “dame” or “skirt,” the term “chick” was used informally (mostly by men) to describe young women. \u00a0It wasn’t until the 1970s during the height of the women’s liberation movement that women lashed out against that term. \u00a0Women decried the word “chick” as offensive and belittling, a demeaning diminutive depicting independent women as delicate, helpless creatures. \u00a0Even worse was the term “girl” which infantalized grown women.<\/p>\n

A generation or two later, both “girl” and “chick” have experienced a rebirth. \u00a0This time it’s women themselves who revived the previously objectionable term. \u00a0It’s become social zeitgeist for women to use the terms to convey solidatity with other women. \u00a0It’s about “girl power<\/em>” \u00a0as exemplified in the phrase “You go, girl<\/em>?” \u00a0To the extreme, some women even use the pejorative “bitch” and even “cow” (especially in England) to refer to one another, but I caution any man stupid enough to follow suit. \u00a0The terms “chick” and “girl” have become uncoupled from such adjectives as “hot” or “smart.” \u00a0In fact, chick has become an adjective itself: chick lit, chick flick, chick filet (scratch that one). \u00a0As a geriatrically advanced dude (the male equivalent of chick as well as the name of my debonair dachshund), I was nonetheless surprised to find Reno has a breakfast restaurant named Two Chicks.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The Comfy-Cozy Dining Room<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The gender-specific propriety of the term “chick” didn’t embolden me to use the term to address our servers (all chicks…er, women). \u00a0I did ask one who appeared to have a leadership role if she was one of the chicks. \u00a0“I wish. \u00a0I’m just a chicklet<\/em>,” she responded. \u00a0Nor will I use the term “chick” to refer to Allison, our host in a Reno airbnb<\/strong><\/a> with which we fell in love. \u00a0Allison recommended Two Chicks to us. \u00a0Considering how much we loved the coffee shop<\/strong><\/a> she suggested, we had no doubt Two Chicks would make breakfast a memorable meal.<\/p>\n

Two Chicks is located about a mile south of the famous sign designating Reno as “The Biggest Little City in the World.” \u00a0A number of restaurants are clustered in the area (seemingly more restaurants than parking spots). \u00a0Two Chicks is recessed back a bit from South Virginia, one of the city’s most busy thoroughfares. \u00a0The restaurant has a curvilinear facade. \u00a0Outdoor dining under kite-shapped umbrellas is possible only weather-permitting. \u00a0We found that Reno’s temperatures are comparable to those of the Duke City, but a steady breeze provides some relief.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Wood-Fire Roasted Coffee and Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Two Chicks is awash in color in its interior dining room. \u00a0Booth, table and bar type seating are more functional than they are comfortable. \u00a0I had hoped to meet at least one of the Two Chicks, but neither was available. \u00a0Even without them, the restaurant operated smoothly. \u00a0The Two Chicks are Haley (Red Chick) and Jessie (Yellow Chick). \u00a0Nevada Natives and Reno enthusiasts, they’ve been in the food and beverage industry since first holding employment. \u00a0Together they launched Two Chicks in 2014. \u00a0Their \u00a0first full dining restaurant serves breakfast and lunch and is committed to offering fresh ingredients, homemade dishes and elevated comfort food.<\/p>\n

Sitting close to the corrugated roofing counter behind which orders are prepared, we watched as one employee diligently sliced one orange after another for use on fresh-squeezed orange juice<\/strong><\/em>. \u00a0Consider it sacrilege if you will, but it proved even better than my favorite orange juice at Albuquerque’s Frontier Restaurant<\/strong><\/a>. \u00a0The coffee was also superb. \u00a0With a brand name of Wood-Fire Roasted Coffee<\/strong>,<\/em> it can’t help but be good. \u00a0Nor are the Two Chicks chintzy with portion sizes. \u00a0Some restaurants serve coffee on thimbles. \u00a0The Chicks poured generously into barrel-sized mugs and refilled as needed.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Almond Poppyseed French Toast Combo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Two Chicks menu<\/strong><\/a> is a veritable compendium of breakfast and brunch favorites. \u00a0In a menu section titled “Dos Chicas” were familiar New Mexican favorites: breakfast burrito, breakfast tacos, chilaquiles and huevos rancheros. \u00a0Melts and sandwiches held my attention for a while, especially after seeing some were constructed on “Icky wheat bread” from the Great Basin Brewing Company in Reno. \u00a0I’m probably not the first to accidentally call it “Yucky” bread. \u00a0At any regard, Yucky…er Icky bread toast with the restaurant’s apple butter is quite good. \u00a0I’ll leave it to you to discover the rest of the menu. \u00a0Suffice to say it’s quite thorough.<\/p>\n

Both my Kim and I were in the mood for something sweet. \u00a0For her, an almond poppyseed French toast combo<\/strong><\/em> made with thick-cut sweet bread served with blueberry compote and butter as well as two eggs and bacon (from a choice of bacon, sausage, ham or chorizo). \u00a0These were elevated French toast with a sprinkling of confectioner sugar to go with the tangy blueberry compote and tooth-decaying sweet syrup. \u00a0Three full slices of the slice of life in its finest Francophile form were fabulous (excuse the alliteration). \u00a0The blueberry compote, a chunky, sweet, spreadable sauce was served hot as was the syrup.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Grain-Free Sweet Potato Pancake Combo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My choice was a first for me: grain-free sweet potato pancake combo. \u00a0<\/strong><\/em>The pancakes wouldn’t have been such a big surprise to me even had I read the description more closely. \u00a0The emphasis (not discernible by reading) was not on “sweet potato” but on “potato pancake” as in pancakes typically made with mashed potatoes. \u00a0These pancakes were made with eggs, sweet potatoes, vanilla and cinnamon. \u00a0They’re grain-free and gluten free. \u00a0I had expected the pancakes to taste at least as sweet as sweet potato fries, but that wasn’t the case. \u00a0They were good once syrup was lavished, but not something I would order again. Fortunately there’s a lot more on the menu from which to choose. \u00a0“Combo” meant two eggs (any style I wanted) and my choice of bacon, sausage, ham or chorizo. \u00a0Scrambled eggs with cheese and onions proved a good choice, but the real surprise was the Basque chorizo which had a pleasant piquancy and plenty of personality.<\/p>\n

Two Chicks is an eggsceptional restaurant for breakfast and brunch. \u00a0USA Today’s 10Best named it one of the best restaurants in Reno. \u00a0In local polls, it consistently ranks in the top three for breakfast. \u00a0It’s hard to imagine anything better on a bleary morning.<\/p>\n
