Shrimp and grits – The Parish Cafe

Shrimp and grits - The Parish Cafe
Poached eggs, bacon, shallots, green onion, creole tomato sauce. $15
The Parish Cafe, Healdsburg CA

This was SO wonderful! The shrimp were scrumptious as was the creole tomato sauce. Everything just brimming with flavor and it wasn’t too heavy. I thought the grits should have been creamier though. They were pretty stiff when they arrived at the table.

Millionaire’s bacon, poached eggs, asparagus, tomato, meyer lemon hollandaise. Served on ciabatta toast with rainbow potato. $17
Kitchen Story, San Francisco CA

Mmm, this was really tasty! But anything tastes good with millionaire’s bacon on it. I liked the rainbow potatoes too, but I wished the toasted ciabatta was a softer. You could cut your mouth on those things!

Chicken fried steak and eggs – Orphan Andy’s

Chicken fried steak and eggs - Orphan Andy's
With country sausage gravy, eggs over medium, served with buttermilk biscuits and gravy. $13.75
Orphan Andy’s, San Francisco CA

Omg, I went over the top on this particular night! I guess I thought my usual chicken fried steak late night meal wasn’t enough so I ordered the option that comes with a side of biscuits and gravy, LOL! And this, again, is why I go to the gym. 🙂

Breakfast buffet - Hilton Garden Inn Cupertino
Breakfast potatoes, bacon, scrambled eggs. Complimentary
Hilton Garden Inn Cupertino, Cupertino CA

This was gross except for the bacon! The eggs were super wet, the salsa tasted old, and the potatoes (actually, everything) was super cold. Lame. The old lady servicing the dining area was really sweet though. Slow, but sweet.

Chicken fried steak and eggs – Joe’s Place

Chicken fried steak and eggs - Joe's Place
Sausage gravy, eggs over medium, served with hashbrowns and wheat toast. $10.50
Joe’s Place, Paso Robles CA

I had mixed feelings about this dish. I liked the flavor of the chicken fried steak and gravy. I though the hashbrowns were burnt and my eggs were overcooked. The gravy was also almost too thick for my liking. The wheat toast was delicious.
