Colonie

Brunch at Colonie, 127 Atlantic Ave Brooklyn. Biscuit Benedict, Duck Hash, Grits, Bloody Marys, Coffee and Freshly Fried Doughnuts with Salty Caramel Custard.

I am definitely all for the brunch thing. It's huge in NYC and people wouldn't mind waiting 2hrs for a table, for a taste of delicious pancakes or poached eggs over biscuits. Though for those same reasons, I know many who hate brunch.

Which side do you belong to?

I have heard many great things about Colonie and it only took me few years plus after moving out of the neighborhood to go try it. The Bloody Mary was good, the Duck Hash was delicious but the killer dish was the Biscuit Benedict. Once you had this, you definitely can't have eggs Benedict with English muffins anymore.

Mondays Are For Letting Go

The feast of Robicelli's cupcakes

Letting go the idea that cupcakes or any desserts are to be eaten after your meal. Why not have cupcakes FOR dinner?

My New Favorite Fried Chicken Sandwich

Fried chicken sandwich, spicy b&b pickle slaw, and rooster aioli. Son of a Gun 8370 W. 3rd Street Los Angeles, CA 90048

While I didn't get to have a proper meal at Animal (a restaurant that I have been wanting to go since many...MANY people having been raving about it), I did get a chance to have lunch at their sister restaurant, Son of a Gun. Son of a Gun is a seafood centric restaurant but their fried chicken sandwich was crazy good. Toasted buttered buns, tangy slaw and a perfectly fried piece of chicken...I wouldn't mind driving an hour just for that.
