Brown Sugar Kitchen
Normally, I don't like having to go out of my way to go to
brunch. It's too much trouble for my favorite meal of the day, and it's a waste
of fuel. But after discovering the Brown Sugar Kitchen, tucked away among
former warehouses in West Oakland, with its
nondescript brown facade, I realized that sometimes it might be a good thing for
good food to be kept in a secret location, free from crowds and excessive noise.
The delicious Southern-inspired dishes are comfort foods at their best--it's
hard to choose from a menu that includes crispy chicken with waffles
accompanied by apple cider syrup, poached eggs buried in creamy cheesy grits,
and a delicious selection of home-baked pastries. As much as I try not to
drive, I've realized that there are some things worth burning fuel for. Good
thing I drive a hybrid.
