sweet + savory, the only way to do brunch



Brunch is a meal best enjoyed with friends and in particular with friends who have an appreciation for both sweet and savory items. Beverly and I went to brunch at Buttermilk Channel in Brooklyn a few weeks ago after falling in love with their darling and immaculately designed website.

Upon looking at their menu, we knew that there was only one way to satisfy our cravings, by ordering one sweet dish and one savory option. For sweet we opted for the pecan pie french toast and for savory the ABC (apple, bacon and cheddar) grilled cheese.

The pecan pie french toast was to die for, the bourbon added a nice touch without being too sweet and the pecans were toasted to a crisp.

The ABC grilled cheese was good, but the bread was a slightly too hard. I like my grilled cheese to be crispy, chewy, and gooey all at the same time. The salad accompanying it was great and tossed in a perfect vinaigrette.

Overall, we were charmed by the Buttermilk Channel and can't wait to go back for dinner. (3 course dinner on Mondays for $25!)
