Love, Love, Love



Le cub's sista' is in town, and we wanted to take her out for brunch. Unfortunately (or fortunately... depends on how you want to look at it), our go-to restaurant, Clementine's closes on Sundays, so the three of us ventured over to Santa Monica to try out a new join le cub had read about. Huckleberry. It was a most excellent decision.

Le cub ordered the highly-praised (on Yelp!) "Poached Eggs Over Veggies," and my fork, naturally, ventured over to his bowl for a taste. WOW. Huckleberry claims to purchase its ingredients from the Farmer's Market in Santa Monica, and boy, you can actually tell! The snap peas, corn and cherry tomatoes that lined the bottom of his dish were delightfully fresh and sweet. And the pesto sauce drizzled upon his poached eggs (and my eggs and prosciutto) was divine.

I ordered the "Green Eggs and Ham". What can I say? I'm a sucker for any/all creative marketing schemes. MMM... Perfectly cooked sunny-side up eggs topped freshly-sliced prosciutto and a homemade english muffin. And on top of all that deliciousness was the pesto-ish sauch and greens. Yum, yummy, yum!!!

Will need to save room for their baked goods the next time I go. *tummy smiling*
