Our last day in LA, Jason took us to Monterey Park (where he grew up) for dim sum. The neighborhood boasts the largest population of people of Chinese descent in the US. I was excited. On Jason’s recommendation, we decided on Ocean Star. I had just taken a killer yoga class and was starving, as [...]

Breakfast in Morro Bay
Posted in biweekly photo, brunch, california, tagged Dorn's, Morro Bay on August 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Morro Bay is a bit of a one horse town. As soon as we pulled in I wrote off any potential for culinary goodness. After an uninspired dinner near our hotel, my suspicions were confirmed. I woke up starving after a great night of sleep. We decided to check out Dorn’s. I walked in and [...]
Slow Club

For our first brunch in SF, we went with Christina’s recommendation and met up with Jenn and her sister, Sam, at Slow Club. Perhaps it is obvious from the name (a reference to the slow food movement), but the restaurant focuses on local, seasonal ingredients, cooked in a way that really makes them shine. Looking [...]
A tale of two tart pans
Posted in baked treat, brunch, tagged apricot brioche tart, summer squash and mozzarella quiche on August 8, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I decided to make a nice weekday brunch for my parents. I knew I wanted to use up some of my CSA produce, mainly apricots and summer squash. After some digging around the Internet, I settled on two recipes, one sweet, one savory (I can never choose between the two at brunch so I tend [...]
What you can get for ten (Canadian) dollars

Saturday morning–the day of the wedding–I overslept and missed having breakfast with my friends. Dave was to arrive in the afternoon, so I set out on my own for some brunch. I knew that I wanted a real local experience, so I went with the Park Cafe and Diner, which many on Urbanspoon agreed serves [...]
Markt

This past weekend we had brunch with my parents at Markt, and lovely (and somewhat trendy) Belgian spot in Chelsea. I had just done a recipe demo at the Union Square Greenmarket on behalf of the Natural Gourmet (where I went to school). Since I had to drop some things off at the school after the demo, [...]
Lazy weekend brunch
Posted in brunch, tagged waffles on June 21, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
When I’m hungry for a tasty weekend brunch, but feeling lazy, I pull out my waffle maker and my Bob’s Red Mill Organic 7 Grain Pancake and Waffle Mix. All I need to do is whip up some batter, pour it into the pre-heated waffle maker, flip it, and wait to hear the beep that [...]
Brunch at Public

One of Dave’s Columbia classmates celebrated his birthday today with a brunch at Public in Nolita. We arrived and were shown to a beautiful private room. One look around the restaurant and it is no surprise that its designers (AvroKO) won the James Beard award for Best Restaurant Design. Once seated, we tucked into an array [...]
Breakfast by Dave

Boys, when left to their own devices, will eat like boys. I heard Dave frying some eggs in the kitchen this morning, expecting him to come out with his usual weekend breakfast of eggs and toast. Instead, he emerged from the kitchen with the above plate. Clockwise from top: cinnamon raisin English muffin half topped [...]
