text: Met some friends here for Smunch, my first trip to this outpost of the Vig.  Early on a Saturday parking was not an issue.  The patio with the outside bar was really nice on an early fall day.  The house itself just celebrated it's 100th birthday.\n\nAs usual the food at the Vig did not disappoint.  I had corned beef hash that lived atop a potato pancake.  The chunks of corned beef were tossed with peppers and onions that had a taste reminiscent of Ro-Tel, but not quite.  The two perfectly poached eggs were covered in a chipotle hollandaise sauce. Easily one of the best renditions of a corned beef hash I have had. The other six in our party were just as pleased with their food.\n\nService was great and the chef even spent a few moments at our table talking about some of the modifications we could ask for that were not noted on the menu, like he tries to keep a fresh can of bacon grease on the grill for those folks that want their food cooked in it.  He mentioned that after he overheard me talking about searing a medium rare filet in bacon grease in cast iron.
