It’s almost weekend brunch time! I was in San Francisco recently, visiting my sister and working on a Thanksgiving campaign for Farm Sanctuary featuring Ginnifer Goodwin (I’ll be posting the photos by Ryan Pfluger, and the videos by Yours Truly very soon!) and I got to stop by Herbivore for brunch not once, but twice. How come nobody told me they had doughnuts?! These cake doughnuts can blow Dunkin’ D’s out of the water (and who wants to support them anyway, now that we’ve seen how they treat egg-laying chickens).
These were my delectable brunches of Blueberry Glazed & Chocolate Glazed Doughnuts, and Spinach-Mushroom Scrambled Tofu with House Potatoes. Yum!
Back in New York, I swung by Sacred Chow, who also does an amazing brunch, with everything from biscuits n’ gravy to waffles and thick, yummy french toast drenched in blueberry sauce.
Where are your favorite places to brunch? We’d love to hear to where you make your weekend pilgrimage, or what you make at home. Leave us a comment and tell us!
