The Flower District , land of the early risers , has a wonderful new breakfast and lunch option . Chef Michael Reed has teamed up with husband and wife team Ryan and Diana Lamon to create a urban farmhouse kitchen that opens at 6am . Think Southern comfort food with California sensibilities . For breakfast , try house baked cathead biscuits and gravy or free-range chicken and waffles . Not a member of the dawn patrol ? The restaurant ’ s signature double-decker “ Poppy Burger ” made with two beef patties , coleslaw , bacon , caramelized onions and homemade Thousand Island dressing is a top lunch item . But get there before 3 pm . The modern rustic space , designed by Diane , is bathed in natural light with butcher block tables crowned with fresh flowers and paired with a combination of wood chairs and steel stools . The name ? Poppy + Rose is a nod to the state flowers of Californians Michael Reed and Diana Lamon and Ryan Lamon ’ s native Georgia . Parking ? Enter the 765 building garage at Maple and a $ 15.00 purchase gets your validated . Dinner ? Ask about their monthly , invitation-only supper club .
