Brooklyn Fire Proof East has a $5 brunch(!). And it’s actually good.

It used to be you could get a pretty good breakfast sandwich with some potatoes and a salad at Brooklyn Fire Proof for five bucks. But now Estafanie Baca is the new general manager of Fire Proof, and she’s added her family secrets to the ordinary Brooklyn brunch fare.

Her mother is Cecilia Baca of Cecilia’s Cafe, in Albuquerque, NM. Cecilia’s has been featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Drives and I’ve actually had Cecilia’s delicious chile-rich burrito. I was delighted to find out that Estafanie used to help her mom in the kitchen ever since she was a little girl and is now implementing all those family secrets here in our neighborhood.
