Big on Brunch
There were two themes to the weekend - Harvest Festival and brunch!
Weekend brunch is not one of our rituals and more often than not you'll find us home for breakfast on Saturday and Sunday mornings, especially with the introduction of "Sunday Double Sundays" this summer. We now receive both the SF Chronicle and New York Times on Sundays and can spend the better part of the day (even some of the following week) getting through them. Breakfast usually consists of homemade waffles or eggs and Willie Bird's turkey bacon and we feel no need to go out. Except when it's a social event "Oh let's do brunch" kinda thing. Until now.
On Saturday we went to Liberty Cafe for brunch and given that this is so close to home, this event alone may reshape the way we spend our weekends. Our meal was delicious and reasonably priced. For $8, I had a huge corned beef hash with poached eggs - corned beef, potatoes and spices topped with 2 poached eggs. It was delicious, filled my beef craving and I swear I didn't need to a thing 'til dinner. Nino had the eggs benedict with avocado which he rated as pretty much on par with Bette's (if Bette's is a 10, Liberty Cafe is 9.75). Ken, who we finally got caught up with after forever, had the homemade granola and yogurt - YUM!
Sunday was brunch number 2 at Slow Club with Trace and Robert. Perhaps it was our build up of Slow Club for dinner or that this brunch followed so soon on the heels of Liberty Cafe the day before, brunch was not out of this world amazing. Each of the meals were good - the french toast, chicken rancheros and eggs, and rare tuna on greens but if given the choice between brunch and dinner, Slow Club is where to be for dinner. Anyway, that's when Sante is there!
