Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba!

Jac has a love and fascination for all things Spanish, so she's been eager to check out Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba! for quite a long time, so since her brother is in town we figured we should try it for brunch this morning. We've seen their Bloody Mary bar on Instagram and needed to check it out for ourselves. 

We started with deviled eggs with a crispy bacon bit on top, then our glasses of peppered vodka came so we bellied up to the Bloody Mary bar.

To say we were impressed with their Bloody Mary spread would be an extreme understatement. They had the basics, but also crispy bacon, pickles, celery trees, olives, cucumbers, shrimp skewers, horseradish, and just everything you could possibly want.

Since brunch was tapas style, we ordered a ton of food and just shared everything. We had one of specials, arugula, goat cheese, and fig flatbread. Then the iberico ham has with bell peppers, onions, confit potatoes, and poached egg. 

We ordered the beef tenderloin with an English muffin, poached egg, and hollandaise sauce, which was seriously sooo delicious.

My personal fav, Spanish tomato toast with served with baked eggs with charred romescu sauce and pumpkin seed pistou.

And for dessert, naturally, chicken and ham croquetas.

If you adore Spanish food, or are the type of person who likes to try one of everything, or just a taste, this is a great spot for ya! If not for brunch, then at least go for dinner. 

Enjoy!

Crosby's Kitchen

I think every Saturday and Sunday morning should start with a Bloody Mary, accompanied by a 7 oz. beer back. Here are some very delayed snaps from a long, hilarious brunch with the girls when our friend Regan came to town last month. I just found these photos and am remembering how good Crosby's Kitchen is! Def a go back.

We all have the tendency for our eyes to be larger than our stomachs, so we opted to split this delicious warm, homemade cornbread served in an iron skillet. It came with hot maple butter...let's just repeat that one more time: hot. maple. butter. 

That is all. 

Jac and Kels both went for the benedict served over a homemade cheddar bacon buttermilk biscuit. Quite the mouthful, eh? T'was a delicious mouthful, you can bet your bottom dolla that I tried it, multiple times.

Regan was in the mood for a burger that tasted better than it looked (sorry for no snaps of it). I on the other hand decided the fried egg sandwich with bacon on Rye sounded particularly yummy.

Let's just take one last look at that marvelous poached egg...ahhh

If you're in the Southport area and are hungry for brunch, hit up Crosby's. If you're lucky and the weather stays nice for a few more days (fingers crossed!) then be sure to grab a seat outside. Enjoy!
