Food Network's Tanya Holland has a lovely small restaurant in Oakland called Brown Sugar Kitchen. The food is fresh and lovingly prepared from local organic ingredients and sources Southern foodways for breakfast and lunch.
I had the cornmeal waffles which were crisp and lacy and wonderful served with brown sugar butter and apple cider syrup. Next time, I'm up for the shrimp and grits.
Thanks for the suggestion! I've already decided where I'll be for my Saturday brunch. Oakland can be sooo amazing :)
ReplyDeleteSara, I so agree. You might also want to check out Jack London Square's Chicken and Waffles restaurant. A bit more of a diner rather than gourmet vibe but also very good.
