Spicy fried chicken served with corn sorghum waffle, butter, and vanilla cinnamon syrup. $15.99
The Fremont Diner, Sonoma CA
This was delicious! The chicken was a little greasy, but I loved the seasoning and the heat. I didn’t think it was very spicy, but I do love me some Nashville hot chicken! The waffle was also really tasty especially with some of the syrup on top.
Poached eggs, mini jumbo lump crab cakes on fried green tomatoes, with black eyed pea succotash, asparagus, Old Bay hollandaise sauce, dusted with Old Bay.
Miss Shirley’s Cafe, Baltimore MD
Omg, this was A LOT of food! And it was all pretty heavy. The succotash was a little too starchy to provide any break from the heaviness of this dish. The components tasted good though. I think they could have done without the 2 additional fried green tomatoes on the side though.
With 2 eggs, spicy grits, and toast. $13.95
Market Lunch, Washington DC
This plate was delicious! I just wish that the piece of rockfish was a little bigger. The grits had a little kick to them which was lovely. This place gets packed, but I was able to snag a corner of the communal table right in front.
Candied house-cured bacon, bourbon pecan caramel. $14
Mulebone, Washington DC
Mmm, this was really good! The fried chicken was nice and juicy and the bacon was crispy and flavorful. This was definitely on the sweet side, but the flavors were great.
Poached Maine lobster, bacon, lemon aioli, mixed greens salad. $27
Redd, Yountville CA
Why is everything at Redd so good?! Omg, this hash was lovely and delicious! There’s a side of me that loves the mushy old-school hash, but this fancy version was totally legit. Noms!
Poached Maine lobster, bacon, lemon aioli, mixed greens salad. $27
Redd, Yountville CA
Wow, this sandwich was certainly decadent, and it tasted wonderful! I loved that the lobster wasn’t overdressed so it could really shine. Everything on the plate was plain delicious!
Served with broccoli slaw. $13
Terrill’s House Catering, San Francisco CA
This asada version of a Sloppy Joe was delicious! I also liked the toasted bun and the broccoli slaw was crisp and refreshing. Mmm…
Smoked Scottish salmon, homemade hollandaise sauce, roasted fingerling potatoes. $15.95
Spencer’s Restaurant, Palm Springs CA
This was yummy. I liked the smoked salmon and the hollandaise sauce was bright and delicious. I think the roasted potatoes were the best part though. Mmm…
Fried egg, mornay, house rye toast, side salad. $16
Murray Circle, Sausalito CA
That egg is definitely sunny-side-up and not fried. I’m not complaining, but it just wasn’t what the menu said. This sandwich was really good, but also really heavy. I could barely finish it. It normally comes with fries, but I asked for a side salad instead. I can’t imagine trying to eat the sandwich AND French fries with it. I would probably explode, lol!
Poached eggs, potato, peppers, pickled red onion, bearnaise. $15
Murray Circle, Sausalito CA
This tasted fine and all, but I think there were too many competing ingredients and flavors. Everything just got jumbled together and lost becoming an unmemorable dish.
Half dozen $19
Murray Circle, Sausalito CA
These oysters tasted great and I liked that they provided three different topping options. A great way to begin a lazy weekend brunch.
Egg whites, roasted tomato, arugula, mushroom. Served with butter croissant and rainbow potato. $16
Kitchen Story, San Francisco CA
With all the heavy items they have on their menu, it’s nice that they have an option of this egg white omelet filled with veggies. It’s quite large though so I don’t think you’re saving on calories either way. 🙂
