"you wanna go to brunch on sunday?"

This post is [semi] inspired by my favorite comedian, Bill Burr... have you guys heard of him? If not, you should probably click here. He cracks me up... especially his bit on brunch. But no matter what ole Bill has to say about it, I think brunch is pretty fantastic. Any opportunity to eat scrambled eggs piled high with cheesy goodness or fried chicken on a biscuit is a winning occasion in my book.

Recently, I had the pleasure of feasting on two really amazing brunches. If you live in San Diego [or next time you're in town], you gotta check out at least one. 

Starlite, a gorgeous space a little too close to I-5, recently blew my mind. The meal began with two complimentary homemade donut holes [win] and got even better when I ordered one of the specials for the day: brioche toast with a goat cheese spread and topped with equal parts prosciutto, egg and arugula. As a person who likes proportional ingredients [so I can taste each flavor with each bite], this dish made me extremely happy.

Herringbone, a new Brian Malarkey restaurant, is in another almost random part of town in La Jolla. Boasting trendy yet nautical decor and apparent attention to detail, Herringbone is home to one of the best chicken biscuits I've ever had: a buttery bacon and cheddar biscuit with a breast of fried chicken topped with a fried egg, maple syrup, arugula and a side of potatoes. Nom.

{And seriously... watch the Bill Burr skit. I usually skip over videos on blogs too but trust me in this case, you gotta see it.}
