I had a very.big.day yesterday. So big, in fact, it is still sinking in and will be blogged about in a big way closer to my 30th anniversary. For now, I wanted to share my beautiful two-course brunch from Balsan. For just $19, brunch enthusiasts receive a selection of salumi and domestic cheeses, madeleines, scones, homemade chocolate-hazelnut spread, preserves and butter and the option to order any one of ten entree options, all of which come together to provide one of the most comprehensive and flawlessly executed menus. Plates featured include everything from a crisp suckling pig with sweet potato, fried egg and salsa verde to a wood oven roasted ceasar salad with chicken, parmesan and anchovies to farm eggs with maple bourbon sausage, mushroom and potato rosti.
As we were leaving the Elysian Hotel (home to Balsan), Amy noticed orange crocs walking to the elevator... good morning Mr. Batali =)
