Cocktail sauce and tartar sauce. Brunch buffet $29.99
Farmers Fishers Bakers, Washington DC
These were a pretty good start to brunch. Some of the pieces were a bit over-fried and dry, but I can’t deny a fried shrimp! 🙂
Bbq pork belly, poached egg, potatoes, smoked cream cheese, tomato aioli, $14
Heritage, Richmond VA
The service here was horrendous and so was this dish! It was truly a hot mess. The egg was the lightest poach I’ve ever seen. The albumen was still SO translucent and slimy. The smoked cream cheese (and there was a lot of it) had a horrible grainy texture and the flavor was overwhelming. Suffice it to say I was disgusted and will never return to this horrible place.
Whipped cream. $3.25
Dutch Eating Place, Philadelphia PA
Omg, this was really good! It was borderline on the sweet side for me, but there’s just something about hot, cinnamony apples surrounded in pastry that you can’t deny!
Eggs over medium, wheat toast. $4.95
Dutch Eating Place, Philadelphia PA
I’m still surprised (and alarmed) when I travel to a place that doesn’t ban the use of styrofoam. It’s such a horrible thing!
Anyway, back to the food. I didn’t like this very much, and not because of the styrofoam! The scrapple had an odd texture. Maybe this is how it’s supposed to taste and feel, but the other times I’ve had scrapple were at nice restaurants so maybe they had performed some culinary magic to deceive me into liking it. I love offal and such so I thought that this would be great – not the case. The toast was also lame and barely even toasted. The eggs just looked sad.
Complimentary
Residenza Gens Julia, Rome ITALY
I thought this chocolate danish was really good! The mini chocolate chips were small enough to melt in the sunshine. Mmm…
With orange juice and coffee.
Residenza Gens Julia, Rome ITALY
I really liked this place! It was centrally located and the accommodations were wonderful. All the staff were super friendly, much made out stay very enjoyable. They also had a selection of pastries for breakfast. We usually just grabbed-and-go because we wanted to get out to see the sites.
Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, chocolate croissant, cheese, fruit, orange juice, and coffee.
AC Hotel Genova, Genoa ITALY
This buffet was better than most, and they had a pretty good selection of food. The servers were really friendly too.
Gail’s Bakery, Hove ENGLAND
This was heavy, but really yummy. I liked that they cut it in half and heated it through before serving. The sausage filling was hearty and nicely seasoned, and the crust was buttery and flaky.
Served with potatoes, fruit, raspberry yogurt, blueberry yogurt cake. Complimentary
San Francisco (SFO) to London (LHR), United Airlines
This was actually pretty gross. The egg omelet had that weird overcooked texture, and the potatoes were super soft and grainy. Everything was just lifeless. 😦
Gail’s Bakery, Hove ENGLAND
This mini sandwich was a nice size for breakfast. The fried chicken tasted good and it was nice and juicy on the inside.
Gail’s Bakery, Hove ENGLAND
This place is really cute, and it kinda felt like it could have been a cool, relaxed neighborhood in San Francisco. The service was friendly and the food was good. They have a variety of bakery and breakfast items on the counter or you can order a la carte. Definitely a great place for a relaxed morning.
Egg, tomato, scallions, Tillamook cheddar on everything bagel. $6
Mojo Bicycle Cafe, San Francisco CA
This tasted pretty good. They didn’t have avocados because of the shortage so they substituted some delicious tomatoes. The bagel was a bit dry though.
