Plow

avocado toast with a poached egg on Acme sourdough 

lemon ricotta pancake + pure maple syrup

smoked salmon toast with capers 

dungeness crab scramble with the best crispy potatoes 

Plow is one of my favorite spots in the city, and I might even go as far as saying, the best brunch in San Francisco. I've never been disappointed with anything on their menu and am obsessed with the interior of their space, so it was a no brainer that my mom and I dined here for our first meal back in the states! The only downside is going on a weekend because you'll be waiting for a table for years and on a Saturday or Sunday morning, that's the last thing I want to be doing. Go during the week (closed Mondays) and mosey through your cups of coffee and lemon ricotta pancakes instead of being rushed.

p.s. thought this list was very accurate upon my arrival home 

Chocolate Festival

WARNING: If you are hungry and/or love chocolate, it might be best to not read this post.

On Friday we had a friend in town, so we decided to show her around our favorite spots along Southbank, starting at Borough Market, with our hearts set on ending at the Chocolate Festival. Steph and Kels got started early on the chocolate hype at Borough with their cute little cupcakes! 

We were not let down once we reached the Festival…

What would this even taste like?!

Chocolate espresso beans, of course.

goodies in our bags for later, we kept walking along the river until we reached Big Ben, were overwhelmed by tourists, and decided it was time for a pint!

Bumpkin

After an afternoon at the V&A, Regan and I tucked away to Bumpkin, one of my favorite spots in South Kensington. My go to is their fish & chips, I'm such a sucker for them, but the rest of their menu is just as good! I've eaten here on about three other occasions and am completely comfortable saying they do seasonal British food to a tee. Their Bumpkin lager & cider aren't so bad either!  

We started with mac & cheese while we waited for Kelsey to join us.

Then ordered some classic British food once Kels arrived. She went with one of their many tasty pies, the chicken, leek, and mushroom pie, while Regan and I both went for classic fish & chips.

If you're in Notting Hill or South Ken, definitely make a visit to Bumpkin!

Larder, Edinburgh

If you happen to be in Edinburgh, stopping by Larder is a must. Just off the Royal Mile on Blackfriars, you'll find a quaint and cozy space to gather for a fresh country breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The smoked Salmon scrambled eggs were perfection.
