Corner Kitchen offering special Halloween brunch

Get excited: Corner Kitchen, which offers brunch only a select few times per year, is having a special Halloween brunch this weekend.

Brunch will be held from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 29, before Hauntfest on Fifth. The restaurant will be closed for dinner that day.

In traditional brunch style, the menu will offer a mix of breakfast and lunch foods. There will also be a Bloody Mary bar.

Below are some must-try menu items we can't wait to eat.

1.) Poutine, $10. A meal is not a meal at Corner Kitchen without their famous poutine. The fries are perfectly crispy, the gravy is the right texture and thickness, and those cheese curds have us swooning. Top it with a fried egg for maximum deliciousness.

2.) Croque Madame, $11. This was offered at CK's last brunch, and according to former Dayton.com reporter Vivienne Machi, it was a slam dunk. Made with shaved ham, gruyere, an over-easy egg and french fries, this has all of the meaty, eggy, cheesy goodness we could hope for.

3.) Bologna Sandwich, $13. Wait a second, now -- don't look down your nose quite yet. We have heard rave reviews about this bologna sandwich, which is served with housemade bologna, white American cheese, Bibb lettuce, shallot, pickle, and pepper mayo. This bologna just got a major upgrade.

4.) Mussels & Fries, $15. Once you have this classic dish for brunch, it's pretty hard to go back. There's something about the combination of crispiness, chewiness and sauciness that reaches peak satisfaction for diners, whether they're hungover or not.

Other notable menu items include fennel toast, steak and eggs, buttermilk pancakes, biscuits and gravy (with sage sausage and rosemary biscuits), three different kinds of quiche, the Corner Burger, and polenta and roasted mushroom ragout.
