Saturday Brunch

Before Jeff was married, he participated in a monthly restaurant group. I would often hear of the great restaurants the group went to, so I was very excited to receive an invitation to join the group for January's restaurant. We went to brunch at a wonderful place called Simpatica . According to Bon Appetit Magazine, it's "One of the ten hottest restaurants in the country". I thought the food was delicious and the atmosphere was equally great. I got the Belgium waffles with a maple orange marmalade and sausage. It was very good. Jeff and his friend Pascal wanted to try everything on the menu and had a hard time deciding on one thing, so they got three entrees to share between the two of them. Yep, that's right, three entrees. They got biscuits and gravy, the roasted pork strata with seasonal vegetables, and the porchetta with creamy polenta and eggs. I tried the biscuits and gravy and I have to say it was the best I've ever tasted. It was seriously amazing. Here are a couple of pictures of us and of the biscuits and gravy and the pork strata. We had such a great time and I can't wait to go back.
