Buttermilk Kitchen

Buttermilk Kitchen, Buckhead

I love breakfast I actually think it is the most important meal of the day and often like having what I call “Australia day” which is where I have breakfast, preferably pancakes, for dinner. Buttermilk Kitchen was what I needed last Sunday– a full and satisfying breakfast. It also helped that a table for three meant a 40 minute wait. Nevertheless their hot Coffee kept me and my friends happy until we were able to be seated. We started with the Georgia Apple Muffins with oatmeal streusel topping and they were good, not overly sweet and rather hardy. Their menu looked great but I went with a daily special since it is fall and felt like being more festival than usual. I ordered the Sourdough Waffles with sweet potato butter cream and toasted pecans and a side of Bacon. Before I talk about the waffles I must admit I typically do not like them but the sourdough part had me tempted to stray away from my usual pancakes. With the sweet potato cream and real maple syrup they were amazing. A true fall delight. The bacon was also unreal. I’m not sure why bacon always tastes better out but it does, it wasn’t flaky or rubbery. The restaurant is refurbished in an old house and it makes you kind of feel you’re in someone’s home, which only makes the breakfast better. The chef prides herself on being farm to table, using sustainable ingredients, and not letting anything go to waste. If you don’t want to feel guilty about eating out but still want to enjoy your meal look no further than Buttermilk Kitchen.

Sun In My Belly

Sun In My Belly, Kirkwood

Oh I just love when friends visit. Besides being able to show off Atlanta in the Fall I get to bring them to all the neighborhoods with glorious food being offered in every corner. This past Sunday morning my friends and I headed to Kirkwood to try the ever so popular breakfast spot Sun In My Belly. We got there before a big rush but still had a wait a little, however, I truly didn’t mind because we melted right into one of their couches and had no problem lounging with good coffee before we were able to be seated. While many items on the brunch menu were tempting I decided on the PBLT (Pimento Cheese, Bacon, Lettuce, & Fried Green Tomato) Sandwich topped with a fried egg and served with a side of Hashed Potatoes. It was just what I needed to start my 24th year of living here on earth! It had lots of flavor but not one out did the others. The bacon was probably the best I’ve had all over town, thick and not too well done. Now while I was hoping that someone would get the French Toast I had no such luck, but that just means I will have to come back! The restaurant was super cute and the menu for the supper club look delicious. It is categorized as a neighborhood cafe and I truly saw that when I was there; younger families, people picking up coffee, older couples, a baby shower taking place, the place was comfortable and the food delightful.
