After WEEKS of visitors gracing us in our San Diego abode, Ashton and I had a weekend brunch completely open to possibilities! We went with a repeat visit to Crest Cafe in Hillcrest, braving the torrential drizzle for the inevitable wait outside. Our fellow Richmonder-turned-San-Diegan Andy and his girlfriend joined us, and mimosas in hand we all got something different. Andy and his ladyfriend got the Club omlette and the Blueberry French Toast, while Ashton opted for the Asparagus omlette and I decided to go for the special, which was an apple-bacon-thingy-delicious-sounding-french-toast-biscuit thing.
I was not incredibly impressed with Ashton's omlette (wayyy too much cream cheese, and just a really boring flavor) but to be fair it seemed like they didn't give themselves much to work with. The blueberry french toast looked REALLY good, complete with blueberry syrup (my favorite!), and you can't really go wrong with a Club omlette. The special promised a lot, but it lacked just a little something. It was good, but not great. I think had I gotten syrup it might have been a little better (duh) but it was still yummy. Absolutely worth a repeat experience.
I will say, the mimosas were top notch. Best way to start a Sunday.

did i tell you about our brunch in charleston, sc? AMAZING! i had sweet potato pancakes with pecan butter!!!! AHHHRRHFHGHGHGHA I loved it!!!!!!!! i think it was at a place called jacksons or jasons or some one named place that started with a J... there was a 20 minute wait to get in but they had a bench out on the sidewalk and free coffee, citadel cadets walking by in their white dress uniforms, 2 blocks from the water, live band inside, lots of artwork and famous signatures. wish i could remember the name... those pancakes were to DIE for though.
