Some highlights from an exceptionally delicious weekend…
Homemade cookie dough cold foam iced latte with frothed milk, brown sugar, vanilla bean paste, and baking soda.
Banana sesame protein coffee. Blended – coffee, chocolate milk, frozen banana, black sesame paste, vanilla protein powder.
Cookies and creme protein bar. Yes, I paired this with the cookie latte.
Golda. Breakfast plate – two eggs [over easy], spiced home fries, sourdough toast, and housemade hot sauce.
Brooklyn Kolache. We shared pimento cheese, beef sausage, and a sweet poppy seed.
Also a wonderful ube iced latte.
Fan Fan Doughnuts. I was underwhelmed by the dough today, sadly, but the toppings were top-notch. Dark chocolate with meringue / salted brown butter / lemon / Iranian Love with labne frosting.
Petee’s Pie. I am sad that we slept on this spot for so long because we were quite impressed. I had the Maine blueberry crumble pie with maple whipped cream.
These jelly sake cans – particularly in yuzu – are one of my favorite things.
This photo isn’t that exciting but it’s mostly a reminder to myself that the chicken and poblano pepper burrito from Whole Foods is pretty darn good.
I forgot to take a photo of my turkey cheeseburger salad – red lettuce, sauteed red kale, ranch dressing, ground turkey, tomatoes, extra-sharp cheddar, and sesame seeds – but we paired it with creamy dill potato chips.
Lula Mae – Cambodian food and the best meal of 2024. They had a pre-fixe happening for Restaurant Week and we got to try a ton of (amazing!) things. Spicy mezcal mule and a Tokyo Mae – Suntori whiskey, Cynar, yuzu, anise, and sarsaparilla bitters.
Cha kway fried bread with tom yum butter and pickles. <– mindblowing
Tuna on crispy rice.
50:50 fried chicken – dry rubbed with a lemon pepper dressing and a soy tamarind sauce.
Braised short-rib and morning glory greens in a tamarind stew.
