https://www.eatsrestaurantsf.com/ Place: Eats Location: 50 Clement Street (on the corner of 2nd Avenue) Hours: open Monday - Sunday at 8:00am Meal: Divorced Eggs ~ sunny up eggs with half red sauce and tomatillo sauce, ricotta salata[1], black beans with pepper Jack cheese[2], grilled tortillas, and roasted potatoes; and, to drink, a glassa Power C ~ a mixture of orange, pineapple, and grapefruit juices
("Before"... "After"... whatever. Unseasonable [and mostly unwanted] rain is still rain.) Because I am still running through my Breakfastary Starting Rotation, and today is also the 108th annual running of the Bay-to-Beerin San Francisco, and it had been raining earlier for most of the morning, I wanted to keep it as local as possible and not have to deal with any traffic that may have been caused due to all of that. So, I simply returned to Eats (see previous 'blog-entry from Saturday, January 19th, 2019) for breakfast this morning. Since I last ate at Eats, there are brand new (retractable) awnings outside on both the Clement Street-side and 2nd Avenue-side sidewalk seating areas. I probably coulda even sat outside if I really wanted to, as the rain had already ceased from the earlier morning deluge and did not resume until much later this afternoon. However, I had arrived early enough this morning to still get a choice of a few different two-seater tables indoors, anyway. By now, I have more than worked my way through their entire menu and will be repeating most of the meals again. This is fine-by-me, because they have many good items from which to choose (even for st*pid vegetarian-types) and it will take me a few years to run through all of them again (even with three to four visits a year).
Oh, noooo!!! Sadly, it appears that along with their fancy new awnings outside, they have also changed the formula for their homefries. However, this would be in the opposite direction ("un-fancy old"?)... they are no longer including any roasted garlic cloves. (Well, there were none what-so-ever in my portion this morning, where there were normally at least three to six cloves.) I just hope this was an oversight for my meal and they do still include the roasted garlic cloves in their homefries. These were easily the best homefries in town with the garlic in them. Additionally, I did not notice any rosemary sprigs in the potatoes either. (Hmmm?! Maybe to be able to pay for their fancy new awnings, they had to cut back on a few other important items.) Anyway... thankfully, the eggs dish was still mighty tasty itself. With the salsa roja, salsa verde, and grated white cheese (ricotta salata) on top, the colours sorta reminded me of la Bandera Mexicana, Antonio. As far as condimentary supplementation goes, Eats offers the full Standard San Francisco Triumvirate of Hot Sauces (Tabasco®Brand Pepper Sauce [Original Red Sauce], Cholula®Hot Sauce [Original], and Tapatío®Salsa PicanteHot Sauce); plus, El Yucateco® three ways (Salsa Picante Roja de Chile Habanero, Salsa Picante Verde de Chile Habanero, and XXXtra Picante Salsa Kutbil-Ik® de Chile Habanero). I still went with some of my own Old St. Augustine Snake Bite Datil Pepper Sauce (Thanks, Greg & Cindy!) on the potatoes and some H*ll's Kitchen®Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce (Thanks, Mom!) on the black beans. Both of which ended up being superfluously supplemented. I liked their salsa roja better than their salsa verde (which was tomatillo-based, and plenty good enough all on its ownsome) and happened to mention it to one of the server-lady persons, so she went back and brought me out a whole 'nother small ramekin of salsa roja, which I proceeded to dump on top of the one egg that already had salsa roja on it, the potatoes, and the black beans. (another, not really such a) Strange Coffee Interlude Before heading out for breakfast, I had prepared myself a mighty fine cuppa Bettys - Java Kalibaru[3] (Thanks, Cindy & Greg!). Now, not that I really needed another cuppa after breakfast (Does anybody truly need another lung-full of oxygen more than once a day?!), but when I got home I made myself yet another cuppa the same stuff (and once more prepared via the single-cuppa drip/pour-over method). The main reason I decided to "risk" drinking two cuppas-a-day was that, after breakfast, I once again strolled through the Clement Street Sunday Farmers Market and picked up a few interesting fresh baked-goods junk. For a mid-morning after-breakfast snack (and, because of which, I had to completely skip any lunch), I went with a Cardamom Puff purchased from Portside Bakery (outta Sausalito-town). The best way to describe this was a roundish croissant (about the size of a very large apple) filled with a cardamom custard. The cardamom custard was awe-some and really complemented (or vice-the-versa) the cuppa Coffee. So, it totally made it worth the second cuppa... even if I cannot get to bed until really late tonight... like, say, 10:30pm. I also made the second cuppa in my brand-spankin'-new "Eats" mug that I had just purchased this morning after breakfast. (I already have two "Dottie's True blue café" mugs, so I figured I would try to collect one mug from each of the other restaurants in my Breakfastary Starting Rotation... if possible; that makes two down and only three to go). https://www.bettys.co.uk/java-kalibaru-single-origin-coffee http://portsidebaker.com/ https://agriculturalinstitute.org/directory/listing-details/clement-st Glen Bacon Scale Rating: Huevos Divorciados ~ 7.0; Power C ~ 6.7; Cardamom Puff ~ 7.8; BettysJava Kalibaru ~ 7.4 ___________________

For a posh British tearoom kinda place, Bettys really does a great job with their Coffees, too. The Coffee is always top-notch and only costs about the same as the swill you can get at that St*rbucks place. This blend/roast is priced at £5.95 for a 227g bagga; with today's exchange rate, that equates to about $15.16/pound (that would be 'mercian-style measure of weight "pound", not the Britishlander-style monetary unit "pound").

They finally have their own "official"-type web-site [after only being open for the past nine years now; ignore what their web-site states ~ this restaurant has been running under its present ownership only since early-2010].)

This is one of the closer (and more decent) restaurants in my neighborhood for breakfast, too.
1. That would be a "big e". 2. Stupid, useless cunning linguist pointeur du jour: "Puce" is the French word for "flea", which comes from the Latin words for "flea", "pulicem" or "pulex". The colour is said to be the colour of bloodstains on linen or bedsheets, even after being laundered, from a flea's droppings, or after a flea has been crushed. (Sorry, sometimes these word origins can be kinda gross and shocking. See: "Vanilla".) 3. Pun fully intended, once you know the etymology of "puce".
(Monsieur Soleilwas out bright and early this morning and really washed-out this photo. Yeah, well... that is mon histoire and I am sticking with it.) http://www.pomelosf.com/ Place: Zazie Location: 941 Cole Street (between Carl Street and Parnassus Avenue) Hours: "le Brunch" is served Monday-Friday 8-2 and Saturday/Sunday/Holidays 9-3 Meal: Eggs en Fonte[1] ~ grilled polenta cake w/ spinach, wild mushrooms, spicy tomato-chevre sauce, and two over easy eggs baked in a cast iron skillet w/ home fries or salad (of course, I opted for the potatoes; what am I some kinda silly rabbit?!); and to drink, a cuppa (and two full refillas) ZazieBlend (which is made exclusively for them by the local folks at LaCoppa Coffee across the bay in Mill Valley) https://www.lacoppacoffee.com/
(There is no EweToobular juxtaselection here... unless, perhaps, Mademoiselle Isabelle Marie Anne de Truchis de Varennes also likes polenta-based breakfast dishes.) Je suis retourné à Zazie (see last 'blog-entry from Dimanche 2 décembre, 2017). I was about the sixth person/group waiting in line to get in this morning. The joint filled up very quickly after they opened and all the tables inside and in the backyard patio were eaten-up (so to speak) very quickly. However, because it was not raining (still/again), I sat outside in the front sidewalk café area where there are only four tables for two. As I was the first-come-first-seated idiot to opt to sit outdoors, I had my choice of tables, anyway. They had turned on the overhead gas-heaters and I had to take off my jacket as it was that comfortable already, especially with Monsieur Soleilat my back. These tables out front are usually occupied by les chiens out for un petit déjeuner with their human-pets. The table next to me had one very friendly (but well-behaved) pupster named Hunter. They offer many interesting-sounding dishes on their "le Brunch" menu. Here were quelques autres idées: (off their "le Brunch Specials" menu) Miracle Pancakes[2] (1,2, or 3 pieces) ~ cinnamon bun pancakes w/ cream cheese glaze (as tempting as these sounded, I had another "miraculous" weekend pancakes special on my last visit and wanted to try something savoury today); or Omelette du Jour ~ crispy bacon, artichoke hearts, tomatoes provençale, spinach and Feta cheese w/ home fries or salad (of course, I would have ordered this sans le bout de porc mort en décomposition); and (off their standard "le Brunch" menu) Fontainbleu ~ (a scrambled eggs dish) w/ wild mushrooms, spinach, Fontina; Avignon ~ (another scrambled eggs dish) w/ eggplant, tomatoes, zucchini, provençale herbs; Italie~ (also another scrambled eggs dish) w/ tomatoes provençales, cream cheese, fresh basil; or Greece ~ (yet still another scrambled eggs dish) w/ red onions, spinach, Feta. Dishes like these (and several other good choices from which to choose) are why this is another place that really deserves a return visit more than once a year (or lune bleue).
I knew right away that I was going to enjoy this dish with polenta as its base. While this was not really any kinda Eggs Benedict dish, it did have two eggs (not poached, though) laid atop a thick slice/chunk of grilled polenta. This dish would definitely not be for the fungi-faint of heart; as best as I could tell, it had three different types of "wild" mushrooms ("If you can not control your mushrooms, Monsieur, you will have to take them outside, s'il vous plaît...") in it (possibly: Shiitake, Portobello, and Hen-of-the-Woods, but it coulda been any other fungi). When I first read the name of the dish, I was trying to figure out why they were calling the dish "Infant Eggs" in French. Aren't all eggs infant chickens? They also have very good homefries. Mine today came with two whole roasted cloves of garlic in with them. I have no idea what Zazie might have had to offer for condimentary supplementation, I did not ask or check. I just used some of my own Chili in Hawaii Habanero Garlic Hot Sauce (Thanks, Cindy & Greg!) on top of one egg and Dat'l Do It®Classic Cayenne Hot Sauce (Thanks, Mom!) on les pommes de terre. Now, if I had only eaten at Art's Cafe in January (I did eat there in July), I coulda said that I had eaten "breakfast from A(rt's Cafe) to Z(azie) in 2018" more precisely...

(No horses or penguins were injured during the recapping of this morning's breakfast... however, a few Clowns may have had their feelings hurt. [There is no reference to "garlic" in "A Whiter Shade of Pale". This cover-version was playing on my car stereo on the way back from breakfast, so I just felt like sharing it here.]) Continuing along with my September work-out of my Breakfastary Starting Rotation, I went back to Eats (see last 'blog-entry from Sunday, April 15th, 2018) this morning. I sat outside at one of the two tables along the 2nd Avenue sidewalk seating area... 'cause I could... and 'cause it is almost Summer in San Francisco. Of course, if I had sat in the Clement Street sidewalk seating area, I would have been sitting in the Sun and not in the shade... D'oh! Saul Goode! I was wearing a sweatshirt and long-sleeved t-shirt, anyway.
(Sorry, you try finding decent garlic-studded songs. Besides, you know you all wanna give "garlic gumbo gravy guava" a go-go.) garlic[2] noun | gar-lic | \ˈgär-lik\ 1 : a European allium (Allium sativum) widely cultivated for its pungent compound bulbs much used in cookery; broadly : ALLIUM 2 : a bulb of garlic — garlicky \ˈgär-li-kē\ adjective This is just a quick follow-up on garlic (see previous 'blog-entry from Wednesday, February 11th, 2015). This is the kinda thing that pops into my head late at night (well, 3:00am early in the morning) when I can not sleep. While garlic may not necessarily be a mandatory ingredient for the first meal of the day (and just how come those smarmy bastages at the Pancake Home of Internationality [better known as "PHOI®", of course] have never come up with a decent "Garlic Pancake"?), it really does enhance most breakfastary dishes. Any decent homefries/country potatoes worth its merits should include at least a little (or, like the truly Excellent! Roasted Home Potatoes at Eats, a lot) of this tasty underground fruit. ("But... Brian... garlic is not really a 'fruit' is it?" Seriously?! This is a silly li'l 'blog-post about "garlic", fercryinoutloud, and you are actually questioning my botanical authentification. Besides, if you don't believe me, you can check with those monkey-experts at Scopes.com [see, they don't just fight smelly bad-breath now-a-days, they fight smelly bad-breathtaking rumours, too].) Most of the great cuisines of the World utilize garlic to some extent in their dishes (with the exception of certain sects of Buddhism[3]): Chinese, Greek, Italian, Mexican, Thai, Indian (the Hindu-type, I am not sure about the Native American take on garlic, but I bet it would be great with fry-bread), Burmese (Myanmarese, too), Vietnamese, French, German, Korean, Japanese, Turkish, Arab, Israeli (and also European/American Jewish), Ethiopian and Eritrean, Russian, Afghani, Cuban, Jamaican, and Irish[4]. Garlic always goes great in/with some of my favourite foods: Pizza (and, yes, in my family Pizza is a traditional breakfast dish, d*mmit!), potatoes (in the chips form and most all forms), etc. I have even had Garlic Ice Cream (once) and it wasn't that bad (of course, it was late in the afternoon at the Gilroy Garlic Festival[5] and by that time everything tasted like garlic anyway). Not to mention... Τζατζίκι! (and do not try and tell me that Tzatziki is not a true breakfast dish; it has yoghurt in it, right?) However, I do draw the line at garlic-Coffee and garlic-Beer. And just another good reason that garlic is a great breakfast addition ~ not that I expect people will run out to their local Garlic Julius® tomorrow to start drinking up this stuff ~ but a 3.5 oz/100g serving of garlic has 38% of your Daily Value of Vitamin C (okay, sure, the equivalent serving of oranges pack a 64% of Vitamin C, but when was the last time you asked for extra oranges on your Pizza Margherita?). Glen Bacon Scale Rating: Garlic (plain) ~ 6.8; Garlic (roasted) ~ 7.2; Τζατζίκι ~ 7.2-8.2

Ceci n'est pas un miracle réel... just one h*ckuva tasty petit déjeuner.
https://www.zaziesf.com/ Place: Zazie Location: 941 Cole Street (between Carl Street and Parnassus Avenue) Hours: "Brunch" is served Monday-Friday 8-2 and Saturday/Sunday/Holidays 9-3 (it is the same menu every day of the week, and they open up way early enough to be able to drop the snooty-*ssed moniker "Brunch", and seeing as they are supposed to be a snooty-*ssed authentique Frenchified bistro, they should oughtta be calling this early morning meal "Petit Déjeuner", anyway) Meal: Miracle Pancakes (2) - Sugar Pie Pumpkin Pancakes ~ made with real roasted pumpkin, topped with pumpkin purée w/ vanilla whipped cream; a side order of Home-fries (or should that be "Maison-frites"?), with some of their homemade (Zazie-made, whatever) habanerosalsa; and a cuppa (and two refillas) Zazie's Organic Specialty Coffee[1]
(This poster was above me and over my left shoulder. It was positioned correctly; I just thought I'd try something artistique.)
(There really are no EweToobular juxtaselections for those first two Motown mega-hits this morning. However, it is a well-known fact that both cherries and pumpkins are botanical berries[2], and I have it on good authority that Ms. Tunstall is a big fan of pancakes [like Haggis, pancakes are the other National Dish of Alba-nia][3].) Once again, to be able to state: "I had breakfast from A (as in Andytown Coffee Roasters)[4] to Z in 2017", je suis retourné àZazie (see last 'blog-entry from Sunday, December 28th, 2014). I had arrived so early in the neighborhood (a little after 8:15am) that I even found a legal (and free) parking spot just around the corner on Parnassus Avenue. Because I didn't want to look foolish waiting in line for forty-five minutes all by myself, I made sure to walk around the area a bit checking out/noting the other breakfastary places along the street (of which, there are at least three-to-five other good options in just two blocks up and down Cole Street). When I got back, I ended up being the third "party" (thankfully, the maître d'/manager-guy person was nice enough not to call out "Brian... party of one!") in line. Since I last ate there, they have expanded their front sidewalk café eating area to four tables for two (or possibly two tables for four... or one table for four and two tables for two...). I did think (briefly) about sitting outside this morning (either in the front area or in their much larger backyard patio); however, it had rained earlier in the morning (much before I had even left the house), and I was not sure how long the clouds would keep back, so I wimped-out and sat inside once again (as it was, it did not rain at all while I was inside eating). Next time... I can not believe that it has been almost three years since I last ate at Zazie. They have a really good standard breakfast ("Brunch", whatever) menu and they also offer seasonal/weekendly specials. These guys could easily be "Breakfastary Starting Rotation"-worthy if ever needed. Ferinstance, quelques autres idées: (off their "Brunch" Specials addition) Ceci n'est pas un Pancake ~ Our kitchen's version of Huevos Rancheros, corn tortillas w/ melted cheese, slow cooked black beans, spicy tomato sauce, avocados, salsa fresca, two over easy eggs (this was going to be my initial choice... until I saw the miraculous dish that I ended up ordering); Fresh squash & sage Raviolis ~ w/ wilted arugula (Sheesh! For the price, you would think they would use fresh arugula at least!), butter, garlic, white wine, and aged Parmesan (while not really a breakfastary sorta dish, I was also eyeing that this morning for something a little different); or Omelette du Jour (and I am so glad that they spelded "Omelette" kerrektly) ~ apple chicken sausage (which I would have had quatre-vingt six-ed, sans doute), tomatoes provençale [ sic; see, technically, the adjective "provençale" should be "provençales" in agreement with "tomatoes" being in the plural; also, it would be "tomates" if they were using the actual Frenchy word], fresh basil, and Feta cheese w/ home fries or salad (another tough choice not to choose); and (off their standard "Brunch" menu, specifically in the Scrambled Egg Dishes section; all served w/ choice of whole wheat or white toast and home fries or salad) Fontainbleu ~ w/ wild mushrooms, spinach, Fontina; Avignon ~ w/ eggplant, tomatoes, zucchini, provençale herbs; Greece (Et porquois pas la 'Grèce'?) ~ w/ red onions, spinach, Feta (this dish is another good reason for a return trip... hopefully not in the year 2020); or Italie ~ w/ tomatoes provençales (now here, on their standard printed menus, they have the adjective in agreement to "tomatoes"), cream cheese, fresh basil. And, additionally (also off their "Brunch" Specials addition), they had a Sugar Pie Pumpkin Latte ~ made w/ roasted sugar pie pumpkin, maple, and spices, topped w/ vanilla whipped cream and cinnamon... St*rbucks only wishes they made it this delicious. (Let it be known that the last "... " section of that sentence was actually on their menu; I didn't even need to editorialise it in any way.) I almost went with one of those, too, but that would have been both a sugar (maple syrup, whatever) and pumpkin overkill. It did look very tempting, though; it was served in one of them extra large latte cups/boules.
I can not be sure (just because I was incessantly drooling, they kept barring my way into the kitchen to check it out), but I think they probably use their gingerbread pancake batter as a basis for this meal. Stuff like this is why ("are why"?) I will definitely have to get back there more often. The above photo quality might not do it any justice, but it was extremely tasty. The real trick was trying to get "la morsure parfaite" with a bit of butter, whipped cream, maple syrup[5a], and pumpkin[5b] purée all in the same forkful. They offer this dish as one, two, or three pancakes. Two pancakes turned out to be the perfect amount for me (with the additional homefries); one pancake might not have been enough and three pancakes would have been wayyyyy too much food for me to process. Once again, I really enjoyed the homefries side dish. It included six (six) cloves of roasted garlic in with the potatoes this morning, and I made sure to eat each and every one. Look out, Eats, you have some competition here! I did not ask what they might have to offer in the way of bottles of condimentary supplementation (nor did I bother schlepping any of my own hot sauces with me). I remembered from my last visit (well, I "remembered" after re-reading the 'blog-entry from my previous visit there) that they offered a homemade salsa of their own. I thought it was of a tomatillo-base, but it turned out to be of the habanero kind. Surprisingly, this habanero salsa was really not that épicé, but it did have a really nice goût to it. I ended up using a goodly amount of it all over the potatoes... okay, I admit, I did try some on one bite of pancake, too, and it really wasn't half-bad (to a pessimist, would that mean it is only "half-good"?). As if I needed yet still another viable reason to patronise Zazie, there is this directly off their menu and web-site: Zazie is Proud to be Tip Free! All of our menu prices include a living wage, revenue share, paid family leave, fully funded health & dental insurance, paid time off, and a 401(k) with employer match for all of our hard working employees. ~No Tips Expected~ Wow! No tipping![6] Who says the French ain't got no culcher?! (Don't worry, I am not from KT Tunstall's motherland. I did end up tipping my normal 20% amount, anyway. I checked first with my waiter/server-guy person first, and he had no qualms with it either.)

I can't think of anything else other than possibly: corn/maize, tomatoes (including their spicy little cousins, chilli peppers), potatoes, and chocolate. 6. Supposably, this whole stupid "tipping" thing started here in San Francisco ~ so, it should all end here as well!
