“Iraqi corned beef hash”. Ground beef, tomato, onions and potato topped with 2 poached eggs. Served with wheat toast. $11
Busboys and Poets, Washington DC
I liked this – it was very different. I liked the Middle Eastern spices that they used. It had almost a sour flavor and the ground beef had a different texture than you would normally have in a hash, but it was a nice change from the usual brunch dish.
Bloody Mary. $5
National World War II Memorial.
Two eegs, bacon, ham and sausage. Served with home fries and wheat toast. $13.95
Yankee Pier, San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
Apparently I love torturing myself by returning to this horrible airport restaurant. The service is always so frickin’ slow and I’ve never enjoyed the food. Perhaps it’s because the restaurant is conveniently located just past the security area. Anyway, this meal was disgusting and I wanted to wring the necks of all the slow-ass servers there.
Terminal 3.
With maple syrup/Makers Mark glaze. 3 pieces $5.75
The Sycamore, San Francisco CA
These donuts sounded good, but they actually weren’t very good. The batter was heavy and the donuts were greasy. The glaze was also too sweet.
United Nations Plaza.
Belgian-style waffle filled with prosciutto and manchego cheese, topped with fried chicken drizzled with maple syrup/Makers Mark, blueberry, strawberry. $10.75
The Sycamore, San Francisco CA
This dish read much more exciting than it actually was. The chicken was actually chicken nuggets and each piece of waffle was actually just a quarter piece. The waffle itself wasn’t very Belgian-style either. It didn’t have the right texture and airiness. The whiskey maple syrup was also too sweet for my taste. I was disappointed.
Memorial graffiti mural, Mission.
Battered and fried steak with country gravy and whipped potatoes. $11
The Firkin & Fox, Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD)
The exterior of this chicken fried steak was a bit hard, but I kinda liked it. The interior was still juicy and not over done so I didn’t mind the hard coating. It also prevented the gravy from soaking into the steak. I normally would prefer it to, but maybe that much gravy isn’t the best to eat right before boarding a flight, lol!
Blue Moon. $8
Shenandoah Caverns, Quicksburg VA.
Breakfast potato hash, summer squash, zucchini, herbs, hickory glaze, poached eggs. $18
Market Table Bistro, Lovettsville VA
This hash was really good! There were full on chunks of fat in the hash (without any meat attached) which was delicious but unexpected. I couldn’t eat all of them though because it was too rich. The dish was tasty and I loved the seasonal vegetables incorporated into the dish. Noms!
Cow creamer. Very cute, especially against the black tabletop.
Turkies, Morven Park, Leesburg VA.
Local honey, powdered sugar. $6
Market Table Bistro, Lovettsville VA
Sheesh, these beignets were super dense which takes away the joy of eating them. I liked the honey but that’s about it. They were also over-fried in my opinion.
Coffee. $3
Brunswick Railroad Museum, Brunswick MD.
Egg, ham and cheese on a jalapeno cheddar bagel. $6.49
The Great American Bagel, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA)
The sandwich was ok. The bagel was a bit dense and chewy for my taste and I wish they could have added a bit of cream cheese or something. The ham was also of low quality.
Bacon, green onion, cheddar. $3.25
Capers Cafe, Portland International Airport (PDX)
This scone was actually really good. I liked the light, crumbly texture and the savory ingredients were yummy. They also heated it up before serving so it was especially good.
Small coffee. $1.65
Fried chicken, bacon & cheese, egg, topped with gravy. $9
Pine State Biscuits, Portland OR
This is a definite gut buster! It has all the ingredients I love, but it actually didn’t deliver. The gravy was really salty, the biscuit was too dense, and the fried chicken was too greasy. Ugh, what happened? This place was highly recommended, but I think it fell short. Boo…
English muffin, poached eggs, ham, béarnaise. $13
Clyde Common, Portland OR
Ugh, this was a clunker. The English muffin was really dense and very baking soda tasting. I wasn’t a fan. I really couldn’t get past the muffin, it was so hard to cut through and eat.
Charlie Horse: vodka, orange juice, ginger, Averna. $9
Golden hash browns with chopped steak, grilled onions, mushrooms and melted cheese. $6
Pine State Biscuits, Portland OR
This was surprisingly bland – salty perhaps but lacking in other flavors. I was a little disappointed! The hash browns were also a bit greasy and the chopped steak was on the tough side. Hmm…
Coffee. $2
