Another quick post. It was a busy eating weekend.
I took the family to Foreign Cinema for brunch on Saturday and was just blown away. First, a perfect black-peppery Bloody Mary, then some house "Pop Tarts" filled with huckleberries in one, and persimmon in another. My omelet was a revelation: Black truffle scented eggs, perfectly soft, with tiny bits of sautéed apple and chanterelles. Other things at the table were also a wonder: my son's fried eggs with balsamic and radicchio and potatoes (he ate every bite), and my daughter's eggnog-y French toast with dried fruit compote and mandarin orange butter was delicious. Do not skip the brown sugar roasted bacon - this is really tough to do at home without making sweet bacon jerky and here it's done to perfection.
I really doubt there any other brunch out there that is more amazing. Thanks, John & Gayle!
Full disclosure: my friends, John & Gayle are owner/chefs of Foreign Cinema, but that doesn't make it any less wonderful.
