The SceneNot much bigger than an 18-wheeler, and built of cinderblocks painted brick red, Johnny B's sure isn't inviting from the outside. Get over your first impression: This neighborhood anomaly transforms itself on the inside, where warm wood walls, seasonal decorations, spotless formica tables, gingham curtains and cute mismatched mugs show that someone is paying attention to atmosphere.The FoodWhat you eat is even better than what you'll see. Chef--not line cook, mind you--David Baccan fancifies the familiar: French toast is made with Portuguese sweet bread; scrambled eggs are flavored with herbs then enriched with cream cheese. Pancakes are golden-hued and fluffy. The mildly spicy Italian sausage is a nicely unconventional addition, too. Dinner, which may feature grilled pork or poached salmon, is served Friday nights only.
