Spinach, foie gras hollandaise, potatoes, salad. $19
Redd, Yountville CA
Wow, this was frickin’ amazing! The duck was great, the foie gras hollandaise was great, the house made English muffin was great, everything was great! Noms!
Honey lemon yogurt granola squares. Complimentary
With bacon chive butter. $8
Redd, Yountville CA
Omg, these cheddar biscuits were frickin’ amazing! And the bacon chive butter was sinfully addictive. I didn’t want to eat a lot of these, but I couldn’t stop myself because they were SO delicious!
Coffee. $3
Open-faced sprouted rye bread sandwiches. Rainbow trout with green walnut, beet and rabe. Beef tartare with tonnato sauce and bottarga. Kale with sunflower tahini and yoghurt. $18
Bar Tartine, San Francisco CA
The rainbow trout smorrebrod was definitely my favorite! The beef tartare was definitely overpowered by all the bottarga shavings on top, and the kale tahini smorrebrod was kinda boring (definitely doesn’t deserve to be on a foodie list).

Herbs and flavored mayo. $9
Bar Tartine, San Francisco CA
Omg, these potatoes were frickin’ amazing! The black garlic sauce was to die for and combined with the smokey flavor of the potatoes – I’m dying. The mayo dip was also super delicious. We actually couldn’t finish all our food during brunch, but I made it a point to get the leftover potatoes packed to-go, lol!

Avocado, caramelized onions, sauteed mushrooms, tomato with garlic fries. $15
The Pink Elephant, San Francisco CA
This burger was very large and it rocked! The beef patty was juicy and flavorful and those garlic fries were killer! The burger got even bigger when you added the avocado and peppers placed on the side.
Don Quixote, War Memorial Opera House.
Sassy bacon, heirloom tomatoes, greens and avocado, with garlic fries. $15
The Pink Elephant, San Francisco CA
The sassy bacon was certainly sassy. Otherwise, this sandwich would have been on the ordinary side. I was actually surprised on their bread choice, but I though that it worked since it was still soft and not too hard and chewy. And their garlic fries rocked!
Bloody Mary’s.
Three pieces buttermilk brined crispy fried chicken, jalapeno-cheddar cornbread waffle topped with rosemary honey butter. $16
Mama Knows, San Francisco CA
The fried tasted good. It was greasy, but it had a nice flavor. I was excited for the waffle, but it didn’t deliver. I liked the ingredients, but it came out sad and limp.
Northbound I-5.
New Orleans style BBQ shrimp, cheesy grits topped with bacon scallion salsa. $12
Mama Knows, San Francisco CA
These tacos were pretty tasty! I thought the shrimp were nicely cooked and the tacos were very flavorful. The super slow service and long wait times were horrible though.
Mimosas. $6
Sunday brunch buffet
Seasons, Washington DC
Mmm, this dessert plate had some of my favorites of the day. I’m looking back at these pics and am amazed that I’m not 300 pounds, lol! I guess that’s why I hit the gym daily. 🙂
Shenandoah Caverns, Quicksburg VA.
Sunday brunch buffet
Seasons, Washington DC
I must say that I was impressed with all the colorful decorations they had for most of the desserts. It was nice to know that they didn’t view their sweets as lame throw-aways for their buffet.

There were SO many dessert options! Even though I’m not much of a dessert guy, I took it upon myself to try as many as I could. 🙂 They were actually very good!
