Ommegang's Megan Maguire had never been to Honey's Sit and Eat (4th and Brown). I thought that was sort of unacceptable. Granted- she just officially moved into the city last month- but still... Their latkes and pear sauce our mandatory. Their Jeb's biscuit sandwich is without a doubt a daymaker.
She loved it. She sipped up the fresh squeezed orange juice and got the last 1/4 of her Jeb's biscuit sandwich to go-which I totally disagreed with- who gets eggs to go? Meg does.
She didn't for a second regret that we weren't in "an account." (Usually we try to support our peeps that support us- I rarely eat lunch in a place without a liquor license).
I opted for an omelet with veggie sausage (of course-ugh) prov, spinach, and tomatoes. I was having some stomach issues (My pops calls it the Woods nervous stomach- the hypochondriac in me is on Web MD daily trying to diagnose)- so I didn't make it too far. I ate more of my perfectly buttered swirled rye bread than anything else.They had my favorite re-occurring omelet on the menu the brisket one with the locally smoked cheddar and caramelized onions....oh the temptations!
That was breakfast.
Dinner was at Earth bread+brewery. Dogfish Head's Sam Calgione was in town- so Lance and I popped over to say hi. A nice crew was there including one of my best buds- Wendy of DFH. She was loving the Fort. I had my Subaru so I was more concerned with flabreads. I stole some of Sam's (sundried tomato and artichoke) then felt like I should get my own. Lance loves the seed- so we went that route. It was great. I had a bit of Raison D'Extra and some of Tom Baker's Irish Stout -which was just right for the night at 3% abv.
That should have done it for the day- but no- there was a gravitational pull around the graduate hospital area- and next thing I knew my car was semi-illegally parked at 22nd and Christian. I figured I should peak into the Ballast Point "three sheets" night -and see if anyone I knew was partaking at the Sidecar.
I met up with IPA pal Bronwen there- and that was the only familiar face besides- the recently named "Unpretentious beer geek of Philadelphia" Adam Ritter- and his ever- competent and witty staff.
Bronny and I shared a mushroom duxelle sandwich. It was good- but I was full from flatbread- and now I'm just a gluttonous temporary vegetarian that tries to stuff as many non-meat items into my day as I can.
Highly attractive I know.
Thank God I don't own a scale.
Thank God I do have a gym membership- now if I would only use it.
G'Night!
