The watch: Breitling Blackbird Red Strike Chronograph
Recently, while filming in Omaha for the America’s Best Restaurants Roadshow, we had the opportunity to go to a restaurant that made an impact on me. And, when a restaurant can make breakfast feel like an event, it deserves a moment in the spotlight. Good Evans has done just that, turning classic comfort into elevated craftsmanship through care, creativity, and precision. This Lincoln-born favorite has spread its wings across Nebraska, serving dishes that energize the day while keeping flavor and execution in perfect sync. That same philosophy defines the Breitling Blackbird Red Strike, a chronograph that fuses stealth, strength, and technical mastery into one unmistakable timepiece. Together, they form a pairing that celebrates bold starts and exacting detail.
Now, let’s get to the food!
Toasted English muffins cradle layers of herb cheese spread, braised short rib, roasted tomato, sautéed spinach, and poached eggs, all crowned with GE hollandaise and balsamic glaze. The Nebraska Bene is a powerhouse of flavor and texture, a dish that knows how to make an entrance. Each bite balances richness with structure, much like the Blackbird Red Strike, whose deep black dial and fiery red accents command attention while maintaining control. Beneath the surface, the short rib’s tender depth mirrors the precision of the Breitling Caliber 44 movement, where power and finesse coexist with effortless balance.
Good Evans’ House Made Pop-Tart reimagines a nostalgic classic through craftsmanship and creativity. From its flaky pastry shell to its sweet, seasonal filling, every detail reflects care and confidence. It’s a reminder that even comfort food can be engineered for excellence, the same principle that drives Breitling’s watchmaking heritage. The Blackbird Red Strike’s blend of traditional mechanical complexity with a modern tactical edge feels right at home here. Both celebrate innovation that honors the past while fearlessly embracing the future.
Egg whites, roasted tomatoes, red onion, artichokes, kalamata olives, and feta cheese come together in the Mediterranean Omelet, finished with creamy avocado. It’s a dish that proves restraint can be powerful, each ingredient deliberate, every texture calibrated. That same disciplined balance defines the Blackbird Red Strike, whose black steel case hides one of Breitling’s most accurate automatic chronograph movements. Just as this omelet achieves clean energy without compromise, the Blackbird’s precision timing ensures that performance never comes at the expense of refinement.
The Avocado Toast at Good Evans is an expression of modern simplicity. Crushed avocado, roasted tomato, pickled red onion, hard-boiled egg, chipotle mayo, and micro cilantro rest atop toasted seed grain bread, a fresh composition where every detail contributes to the whole and is a MUST HAVE. It parallels the design of the Blackbird Red Strike, where the vivid red hands and accents punctuate the dial’s deep black canvas. Each component is bold yet balanced, coming together to create something that feels as dynamic as it does deliberate.
The Pairing
Brunch at Good Evans isn’t just about nourishment, it’s about momentum. The energy of the morning, the pulse of conversation, and the steady rhythm of plates arriving from the kitchen all set a tone for the day ahead. The Breitling Blackbird Red Strike, limited to 2000 pieces worldwide, embodies that same rhythm. Its 44mm polished stainless steel case projects confidence, while its chronograph functionality speaks to those who value accuracy under pressure. The red detailing across the dial and seconds hand brings just the right amount of intensity, a visual cue to the watch’s aviation roots and performance-driven heart.
Wearing the Blackbird Red Strike is like stepping into a day fueled by purpose, one that begins with precision, unfolds with control, and finishes with style. Together with Good Evans, it represents a morning redefined: strong, vibrant, and built for those who live life on the move.
