Brunch at Street

I bought a Bloomspot deal a few months ago for a tempting offer I couldn't turn down- brunch at Street including endless champagne cocktails, Croatian apple fritters, plus two entrees of our choice. Because I salivatr at the mere thought of kaya toast, this offer was a no brainer! I took my dear friend Liz {Elizabeth Zuluaga Photography} over the weekend and OH MY GOODNESS- t'was delicious!

We sat on the patio under the orange awnings- hence the orange glow on all our food, made for a magical, brunchy, boozy kind of afternoon!

blackberry champagne cocktail and
guava with lime and champagne (my fave!)

Croatian apple fritters with whisky cider sauce and apple butter

spicy roasted chilaquiles with guacamole and chorizo

the one, the only- kaya toast!


 This was my first brunch experience at Street. I've been for dinner several times and it never disappoints. If you haven't been because you think things maybe sound a little weird, I advise you to trust the Feniger and go!

What are your favorite dishes from Street?

Breakfast is served

Are you a breakfast person? Do you start each and everyday with a meal to get you on your feet? My husband is a die hard breakfast man and while I didn't used to be a daily breakfast person, he's shown me the light and made a breakfast believer out of me! I especially love the weekend breakfasts- they can be a bit more leisurely, be eaten at a restaurant, and it's more appropriate to have something like french toast on a Sunday than a Wednesday. The great breakfast debate for me is sweet or savory?? It's a really hard decision and though I usually feel better after eating a savory breakfast, it's just really delicious to indulge in banana pancakes or I don't know- croissant french toast (yes, that exists, yes you should try it...we can talk about it later!) with maple syrup and a little pat of butter. However, Mexican breakfasts tend to trump any other kind of breakfast in my book and a good breakfast sandwich doesn't fall too far behind (I'm looking at you BLD)!

We stopped by Grub in Hollywood recently and had one of those nice leisurely Sunday morning breakfasts on a gloomy day and in need of something warm, a cup of coffee, and a little bite of comfort! I had been wanting to go for quite awhile, because as you know, if a Top Chef contestant is in the kitchen, I can't stay away for too long. The restaurant itself is a converted bungalow that couldn't be cuter or cozier. I took the pancake route on this day and had a few nibbles of my husband's breakfast burrito. There menu is a little more limited than I had hoped, but I liked our food quite a bit and would love to definitely go back- the egg sandwich and the french toast sound incredible!

I love that you sit down and are greeted with a bowl of fruit loops!
