"free" breakfast

If you don't count the blood sweat and tears (literally), this breakfast was free. I met up with Liz part-way through a week of training and she insisted on me ordering room service breakfast. It was very expensive, but with someone else paying it was worth it.

What? A blog post?

Yes, this is a blog post. No, you are not dreaming or hallucinating. No need to pinch yourself to see if you are awake.

In Washington DC Liz took me to a restaurant called Good Stuff Eatery. Quite simply, it was delicious. I got the "SPIKE’S SUNNYSIDE" burger with: dairy fresh cheese, applewood bacon a farm fresh fried egg on a brioche bun with good stuff sauce. This may not be a good idea to say, considering how much we love Shake Shack in NYC, but Good Stuff Eatery is tastier. It really is. Liz was shocked I could shift my loyalty so quickly. For the record, the verdict is still out for Liz. She is a diehard shack burger and black-and-white shake fan.

Speaking of Brunch

It was really good.

We really liked the feel. It kind of reminded us of Market Street in Salt Lake.

We are starting to notice that we have a little bit of a weakness for eggs benedict and French toast, but no two eggs benedict are alike and we are determined to find the best one. Just think of them as the control group in our brunch experiment…That justifies the calories and fat, right?

Plus - would you be able to say no to French toast with maple ice cream? I think not. In fact, I'd be willing to go so far as to know not.

Blue Ribbon Bakery

I know. I know. There are a million amazing restaurants in New York  - we shouldn't go to the same ones over and over again (a la Shake Shack), but lately we are on a Blue Ribbon Bakery kick. After having neglected it for a year and a half - there were three visits in July. What can I say - we're feeling the love for that challah French toast. (photos from 2 of the 3 visits)

*Helpful note: The "Blue" in the Blue Benedict on the brunch menu refers to the name of the restaurant not some sort of blue cheese - which I think would be disgusting with hollandaise sauce.
