Yes, I'm prejudiced because I'm such a regular, but that means I know The Big Kitchen all too well. That warm, safe, friendly feeling of coming home greets every visitor, from local to tourist, regular to occasional. The Big Kitchen is the essence of ""community"" -- political, music, arts, local, even spiritual -- and the homemade comfort food seems always to be just what you were looking for. The BK's email newsletter gives you a good idea of what's going on, why and when. Sign up while you're there. One correction to the Citysearch listing -- the Big Kitchen is open daily from 8am to 2pm. Yes, there's often a wait for a Sunday table, but there's free coffee and friendly conversation on the Grape Street Square while you wait.
