Dark chocolate cherry scones

Dark chocolate cherry scones with cherry glaze, greek yogurt and plum salad, adapted from How Sweet It Is.

Addendum

Addendum, the outdoor stand behind Ad Hoc, serves lunch in a beautiful outdoor space with picnic tables. The meat on the pork ribs was falling off the bone in a bbq sauce and accompanied by pulled pork.

The buttermilk fried chicken was perfect - dry, crispy breading and super juicy on the inside and served with sweet honey cornbread.

Sides of purple potato salad and a play on corn succotash with red peppers and a spicy sauce.

Pastronomy

Pastronomy is a ny-style mobile deli serving pastrami, corned beef and matzo ball soup. The excellent rueben is stuffed with corned beef, swiss, sauerkraut, russian dressing and grilled.

The turkey sandwich is piled with herb-roasted turkey and topped with cranberry sauce for a twist. Sides are a half-sour pickle, potato salad and cole slaw.

A play on tater tots, the potato latkes are fried and extra crispy with applesauce and sour cream toppings.

Banana peanut butter chocolate chunk cookies

Wild blackberries

Wild blackberries, sweet and tart, picked on the Sonoma coast.

Red Farm

When we ordered the Pac Man shrimp dumplings at Red Farm, we had no idea they would come out looking like Pac Man! The presentation value alone makes them worth ordering.

The pork & crab soup dumplings are not your average soup dumpling - the broth has a rich smoky flavor. The egg roll is also a riff on tradition, made with Katz's pastrami and so good.

The crispy skin chicken has a great crunchy skin and is served with garlic sauce; vegetable fried rice in the background.

The Bowery Diner

 

The Bowery Diner is a great, modern diner with an excellent brunch - starting with doughnuts! This one is orange blossom, with a delicious bloody mary behind it.

I loved the chocolate frosted doughnut oozing with pistachio cream.

 The Colombian breakfast is amazing and worth returning many times for - thick cut slices of bacon, crispy on the edges and scored into chunks; spicy sausage; fried eggs; plantain cakes; salsa; queso fresco; avocado and fried eggs. Amazing.

The burger is also a hit - thick and juicy in a buttery bun with a side of fries and a pickle.
