Beef pastrami hash – Founding Farmers

Beef pastrami hash - Founding Farmers
Poached eggs, onion, bell pepper, hollandaise. $8
Founding Farmers, Washington DC

This was disgusting and sad! The pastrami hash was really dry and overly salty, the poached eggs were rock hard, and the hollandaise sauce was congealed onto the eggs. The plate had obviously spent too much time under the heat lamp or something (or perhaps it was poorly made from the start). I’m not sure why everyone kept raving about Founding Farmers? I wasn’t impressed on either of the two times I dined there.

Corned beef hash - de Vere's Irish Pub
Two eggs over medium, breakfast potatoes, red bell pepper, red onion, Irish brown bread. $11.99
de Vere’s Irish Pub, Sacramento CA

This hash was decent. I liked the Irish brown bread since it was a nice departure from my usual wheat toast. It was a bit dry but was fine with the butter slathered on.

Huevos rancheros - Cafe Mystique
Corn tortillas topped with homemade salsa, black beans, avocado, with two eggs over easy with cheddar cheese, served with potatoes. $8.95
Cafe Mystique, San Francisco CA

Meh, this was ok. It was on the bland side as huevos rancheros go. The potatoes were utterly bland and useless throw-away items. I liked the look of the dish, but I was not fulfilled in any way. And again with the SLOW-ass service/kitchen!

Eggs blackstone - Lark Creek Grill
Poached eggs, Zoe’s bacon, tomato, English muffin, lemon hollandaise. $14.75
Lark Creek Grill, San Francisco International Airport (SFO)

Mmm, this tasted great! And I don’t usually say that about airport food. I loved the all the ingredients in the eggs blackstone and the breakfast potatoes were fabulous! Why can’t the food at Yankee Pier be nearly as good? They’re the same restaurant group?

Castro scramble - Cafe Mystique
Spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, bell pepper, cheddar cheese. Served with breakfast potatoes. $8.95
Cafe Mystique, San Francisco CA

This scramble was good enough I guess. It was nothing special. What I didn’t like was the horrendously SLOW service! Omg, move your feet, man! And the lone cooks needs to speed things up too! There wasn’t even many diners to cook for!

Vanilla bean creme brulee - Le Diplomate
Sable Breton cookie. $8
Le Diplomate, Washington DC

Crème brulees don’t usually excite me unless their an unexpected flavor so I wasn’t crazy about this dessert. It tasted fine and the vanilla flavor was there, but I wasn’t wowed. I did like the Breton cookies though.

Confit, sunnyside up egg, roasted potatoes. $15

Mmm, I love Le Diplomate. The service is wonderful and the food is very tasty. This duck dish was certainly heavy but it tasted great and the hollandaise sauce was surprisingly bright. Noms!
