Q Restaurant and Wine Bar (over on Clement Street) is one of the newest members in my Breakfast Rotation. Q was added due to location (it's only about thirty blocks away from my apartment and one of the closer good places in the Richmond District) and for its good breakfast choices (see both November 27th, 2010 and July 31st, 2010 entries).



Today I sat at the Dragon Table. There is nothing to play with here, but it's still a fun tableau. I was going to sit at the "Willy Wooly" table (my personal favourite), but forgot to bring my own magnet (it seems that Q lost theirs) to play with.



There were several nice choices on their Brunch Specials. The Fried Green Tomato Eggs Benedict ~ which is reminiscent of their most excellent Chayote Benedict (see my July 31st, 2010 post rave) ~ sounded especially good, and I will have to try it one of these days. They seem to have this on their Specials Menu pretty often so I opted for another of their interesting Eggs Benedict variation:

Black Bean and Corn Cakes Benedict ~ with bacon (no thanks, Glen) and avocado, and (a heap o') home fries. This was another excellent idea, with lots of corn kernels in the cakes (which I assume are made with rice, black beans, and corn); corn = good! This was not as great as the Chayote Benedict, but it was still very good.



I have been informed that the photos of some of my egg dishes "look like something the cat coughed up". (Thanks for the Quote, Cindy!) I blame this on my photographer, but he is not a professional and only gets paid with a free meal. (Actually, these can be viewed a little better if you click on the specific picture in Question and it will populate your screen by itself.)

Q's hot sauce offerings are Castillo® Salsa Habanera, Tapatío®, and Original "Louisiana" Brand. I went with a little (too much) of the Salsa Habanera on the large portion of home fries. I left the Hollandaise sauce alone on the Benedict for a change, as I wanted to be able to taste it; it was pretty good (if I had brought some Cholula® with me, I might have added some of that after the fact, though).

Today with the bill they brought a Green Apple Frooties® (by Tootsie®) in place of the ubiQuitous peppermint candy. Quite nice.

I got there as soon as they opened this morning, but a little later in the morning there was a line out the door. My suggestion: get there early or you may have a long wait to get in; however, I have a feeling even Captain Picard might not mind waiting in this Queue.


Glen Bacon Scale Rating: Black Bean and Corn Cakes Benedict ~ 7.0

I always liked Suzi Quatro, she was never as talented as Joan Jett, but I found her pretty Qute.
