This was my second meal with Sarah of Edible Living (link<\/a>) and the first time, she didn’t want to be on camera, but we got her this time. Maybe it was peer pressure from Katie (link<\/a>), her friend in from San Francisco. Yes, three food bloggers at once up in this joint, and we got some restaurant owner action on the video as well. What luck!<\/p>\n

Sarah actually set this meeting up herself, she knew the owner (Melissa Chmelar) and reserved a table for three for us and I got out of paying for another breakfast! Breakfasts were the hardest to wrassle on this trip, but in the end, I always had more restaurants that wanted to be a part of the project than I had spots. I ended up not going to more than one place that agreed to be a part of the project, strictly based on the availability of the writers. I’m going to write a deconstruction post just after all the plates are wrapped up.<\/p>\n

Holy crap – I’m on the last day of write ups for 93 Plates! In February, I’ve been working on a lot of other stuff; I started a new business, I have my first new client (thanks in part to the lovely people at Spa Deals<\/a>), I’ll have an apartment in NYC by the end of the day today, and my condo is sold. Any one of you who wants to point out that “sold” is a dubious term when talking about exactly what happened to my condo, please feel free. Regardless, things are coming together pretty well for me right now. Later on today, I am going to The Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell<\/a> – life doesn’t get better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"Butter<\/a>Butter and Jam<\/strong><\/p>\n

Butter and Jam, Butter and Jam, I’m a little lad who loves Butter and Jam!<\/p>\n

I think I am going to be the little lad for halloween next year. You could probably pull this off as a sick St. Patty’s Day costume as well, seeing as he’s wearing green (it is forest green, but who’s counting?).<\/p>\n

Anyway, picture of Butter and Jam – hope you like it. <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

…<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Cherry<\/a>Cherry Walnut Muffin<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s why this cherry walnut muffin was better than any cherry walnut muffin you’ve ever had – the walnuts were soaked until moist before being put in the muffin batter, so they weren’t hard and crunchy, but they were still firm. Damn, that’s a good muffin!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

…<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Cranberry<\/a>Cranberry Scone<\/strong><\/p>\n

OMFG – this is a scone that I actually liked. I think Sarah secretly wanted to convert me to scone appreciation, because I was definitely not a scone lover at Caf\u00c3\u00a9 Grumpy (link<\/a>). Get that weak dry scone stuff outta here – Melissa ain’t serving up no substandard scones here. Seriously, unlike any scone I’ve tasted. Even scones my mom makes come out dry sometimes (Sorry mom! You know I love you! And Michelle said the apricot cookies you made were excellent!). <\/p>\n

Crispy on the outside, moist and soft on the inside, and (wait for it … wait for it …) perfect with a little butter and jam. OK, that will clear it up – the seventh and final P-Bomb of the trip goes to TBSP.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

…<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Breakfast<\/a>Breakfast Pizza<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both the girls loved this the most. Tart and tangy manchego cheese, a pleasantly runny egg, thick bacon, and a well-made pico de gallo accompanying it really brought it all to a fitting conclusion of deliciousness. <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

…<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"French<\/a>Sexy Lookin’ French Fries<\/strong><\/p>\n

Look at these Goddamned beautiful french fries. I swear, I should really tag my flickr photos. They’re frickin’ gorgeous. See how far I’ve come as a photographer? Look at this post (link<\/a>). Those were my favorite fries of the journey.<\/p>\n

Now with these, I took them from the table, brought them to a window, used a napkin to reflect the light back onto them from the other side … I’ve really evolved.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

…<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"BLT<\/a>BLT & A<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was my favorite. I was looking forward to this because I had The Fancy at Mike and Patty’s (link<\/a>) with the avocado and eggs integrated together. It came on a baguette from Balthazar with some red pepper aoli. I must say, this one was legit. <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

…<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Cheeseburger\"<\/a>Cheeseburger<\/strong><\/p>\n

It came with those green as hell pickles that you get at Katz’s … I love these things. I found out that they’re Called Guss’ Pickles (site<\/a>). I don’t know how old Guss does it, but he sure makes a mean pickle. And those tomatoes? Fuggedaboutit.<\/p>\n

The burger had grilled red onion on it – a really nice touch. I forget the kind of cheese that was on here, but it looks to me like cheddar. It was a grass-fed Angus beef burger. I need to do some side by side burger testing because I don’t think I can tell the difference between grass-fed and non. It was a great burger; again – the bacon – awesomeness.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

…<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Blondie\"<\/a>Blondie<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dessert for breakfast? Come on; I think you know me by now.<\/p>\n

The blondie was super-caramelly, the white chocolate chunks inside were huge. I’ll rock this \u00c3\u00a0 la mode the next I come in.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

…<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Chocolate<\/a>Chocolate Cupcake<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dessert winner. Those gigantic nonpareil-like things on the top gave it a very pleasing crunch. Writing ‘gigantic nonpareil’ makes me think I may have been deprived of some nonpareil diameter as I grew up. Melissa didn’t seem to make such a big deal out of how huge they were, but they were larger than any I’d seen. I need to broaden my nonpareil repertoire. I digress – the cream cheese frosting was fantastic as well. Just a damn good cupcake.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
