My search for a restaurant space in a bustling financial or residential district was coming to a dead end and then I stumbled upon this soon to be vacant diner space in the middle of nowhere…nowhere being one of the last industrial frontiers in the Bay Area. Because of the desolate environment, a dinner operation didn’t make sense. However, I knew that there was a captive audience of artists and small business owners occupying lofts and warehouses in the area. I had to feed them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having grown up with parents from the South, breakfast has always been an important meal in my book. I think the tradition began hundreds of years ago when my early rising enslaved ancestors ate heartily before a long, hard day of work. Despite our challenging beginnings in this country, I’m proud to be from a heritage of people who knew how to improvise and create something out of nothing. And I feel that’s what I’ve done at Brown Sugar Kitchen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before I opened the restaurant, I was experimenting with a recipe inspired by \u003ca href=\"https://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Yeast-Raised-Waffles\">Marion Cunningham’s yeast risen waffle\u003c/a>. I added some cornmeal and made it more savory than sweet. I thought it would be the perfect foil to \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2018/02/15/celebrity-chef-recipes-brown-sugar-kitchens-acclaimed-buttermilk-fried-chicken/\">fried chicken\u003c/a> as well. Like cornbread, but without the density. I opened the restaurant with one waffle maker as I suspected that the demand for chicken and waffles was a trendy novelty that would soon pass.

My search for a restaurant space in a bustling financial or residential district was coming to a dead end and then I stumbled upon this soon to be vacant diner space in the middle of nowhere…nowhere being one of the last industrial frontiers in the Bay Area. Because of the desolate environment, a dinner operation didn’t make sense. However, I knew that there was a captive audience of artists and small business owners occupying lofts and warehouses in the area. I had to feed them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having grown up with parents from the South, breakfast has always been an important meal in my book. I think the tradition began hundreds of years ago when my early rising enslaved ancestors ate heartily before a long, hard day of work. Despite our challenging beginnings in this country, I’m proud to be from a heritage of people who knew how to improvise and create something out of nothing. And I feel that’s what I’ve done at Brown Sugar Kitchen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before I opened the restaurant, I was experimenting with a recipe inspired by \u003ca href=\"https://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Yeast-Raised-Waffles\">Marion Cunningham’s yeast risen waffle\u003c/a>. I added some cornmeal and made it more savory than sweet. I thought it would be the perfect foil to \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2018/02/15/celebrity-chef-recipes-brown-sugar-kitchens-acclaimed-buttermilk-fried-chicken/\">fried chicken\u003c/a> as well. Like cornbread, but without the density. I opened the restaurant with one waffle maker as I suspected that the demand for chicken and waffles was a trendy novelty that would soon pass. Well, you know how that turned out! The apple cider syrup nods to my paternal grandmother in Virginia who always served fried apples for breakfast as a side dish to eggs, sausage, potatoes and biscuits. The apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_124067\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-124067\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3439-new.jpg\" alt=\"Cornmeal Waffles\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3439-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3439-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3439-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3439-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3439-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3439-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3439-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3439-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3439-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3439-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cornmeal Waffles \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Recipe: Cornmeal Waffles With Apple Cider Syrup\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes 8-10 waffles, depending on size of waffle iron\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>2 teaspoons dry yeast\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>¾ cup/180 ml warm water\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3 eggs\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3 cups/720ml whole milk\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 cup/140 g cornmeal\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 cups/255 g all-purpose flour\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1½ teaspoons kosher salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1½ teaspoons granulated sugar\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3/4 cup/170 g unsalted butter, melted\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Vegetable oil for the waffle iron\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>½ teaspoon baking soda\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>1½ cups/360 ml apple cider syrup (\u003cstrong>\u003cem>see recipe below\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>)\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>In a small bowl, combine the yeast and warm water.

It was my mother’s go-to protein and one I think she found very satisfying to prepare. No doubt that it reminded her of her own mother. And I feel the same way today. My mom always placed her flour and spices in a paper bag and tossed in the chicken to coat it that way. There was a \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shake_%27n_Bake\">commercial product\u003c/a> that suggested this technique. Those of us who are old enough, I’m sure recall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I know that many people find cooking with a large amount of hot oil very intimidating and I can’t encourage enough attention to safety and caution when frying. Make sure you’re not distracted and that everyone in the vicinity is aware of your activity. If you fry at the right temperature, the oil should create a nice rolling bubble. There shouldn’t be any smoke or splatter.

It was my mother’s go-to protein and one I think she found very satisfying to prepare. No doubt that it reminded her of her own mother. And I feel the same way today. My mom always placed her flour and spices in a paper bag and tossed in the chicken to coat it that way. There was a \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shake_%27n_Bake\">commercial product\u003c/a> that suggested this technique. Those of us who are old enough, I’m sure recall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I know that many people find cooking with a large amount of hot oil very intimidating and I can’t encourage enough attention to safety and caution when frying. Make sure you’re not distracted and that everyone in the vicinity is aware of your activity. If you fry at the right temperature, the oil should create a nice rolling bubble. There shouldn’t be any smoke or splatter. Also, the key is to not overcrowd the pot. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_124125\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3394-new.jpg\" alt=\"Brown Sugar Kitchen’s Acclaimed Buttermilk Fried Chicken\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-124125\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3394-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3394-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3394-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3394-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3394-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3394-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3394-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3394-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3394-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_3394-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Brown Sugar Kitchen’s Acclaimed Buttermilk Fried Chicken \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Recipe: Brown Sugar Kitchen’s Buttermilk Fried Chicken\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes 4 servings\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>1 whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>¼ cup blackening spice (\u003cem>see details below\u003c/em>)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tablespoon dried tarragon\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 cup buttermilk\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1-½ cup all-purpose flour\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tablespoon kosher salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tablespoon freshly ground pepper\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Canola or rice bran oil for deep-frying (amount depends on the size of the pot being used)\u003c/li>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>\u003cem>For the blackening spice:\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>1 teaspoon cayenne pepper\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tablespoon sweet paprika\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 teaspoon dried thyme\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 teaspoon dried oregano\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tablespoon onion powder\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 teaspoons garlic powder\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 teaspoons kosher salt\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_124103\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_2340-new.jpg\" alt=\"Cut 1 whole chicken into 8 pieces.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-124103\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_2340-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_2340-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_2340-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_2340-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_2340-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_2340-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_2340-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_2340-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_2340-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/MG_2340-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cut 1 whole chicken into 8 pieces. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003col>\n\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>Place chicken in a large bowl and rub with blackening spice (cayenne pepper, sweet paprika, thyme, oregano, 1 tsp black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, 2 tsp salt).

Goodfriend\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>, \u003cstrong>Video: \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/author/vicchin/\">Vic Chin\u003c/a> and Peter Ruocco\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ve been eating pecan pie my entire life. My mother is from Shreveport, Louisiana and although I was raised in Rochester, New York, pecans were shipped to us every holiday season. It was rare, if not impossible, to find pecans in the stores in Rochester at that time. My grandmother shipped whole pecans in the shell to us and I assisted in removing the nuts from the hard shells using old nutcrackers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My mother made a traditional pecan pie and she didn’t make a crust from scratch. I grew up in the era of newly discovered convenience food and my mother was a working mother so some short cuts were welcomed. Her filling was a typical gooey sweet and heavily nutty one. We almost always ate our slices served warm with vanilla ice cream.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I grew up and traveled and discovered more food, I was exposed to recipes other than my grandmother’s and mother’s. There’s always a next level to discover and create. I’m an admitted chocoholic so when my friend Eve introduced me to her version with the addition of chocolate, I had to add that and make it my own with a touch of bourbon. The quality of the chocolate is very important to me and I’m partial to the local Bay area company \u003ca href=\"https://www.guittard.com/\">Guittard\u003c/a>. Amy Guittard is a colleague and friend and she’s the fifth generation in her family to work at the company. And though I love a good barrel-aged bourbon, the quality of bourbon doesn’t matter as much since most of the alcohol is cooked off. Although, since such a small amount is used, better to buy the good stuff for “leftovers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The best part of this recipe is its simplicity. It’s a real dump and stir. Since so much of holiday meal preparation takes a long time, it’s nice to know that dessert, often the most intimidating part of the meal to make, is just minutes away. This combination of chocolate, pecans and bourbon is so flavorful and rich that just a slightly sweetened home whipped cream is the only accompaniment needed to enjoy this divine combination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_122673\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-122673\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_2127-new.jpg\" alt=\"Tanya Holland's Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_2127-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_2127-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_2127-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_2127-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_2127-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_2127-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_2127-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_2127-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_2127-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_2127-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tanya Holland's Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Tanya Holland's Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes one 9\" pie or 8 servings\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>1 cup dark chocolate chips or bar cut into chunks\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 cups pecans, roughly chopped\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 cup light brown sugar\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 cup light corn syrup\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 cup dark corn syrup\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>4 large eggs, lightly beaten\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 Tbl vanilla extract\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 tsp salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/3 cup bourbon\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 Tbl butter, melted\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 homemade pie crust (\u003cem>\u003cstrong>see recipe below\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>)\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_122651\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-122651\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1770-new.jpg\" alt=\"Ingredients for Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1770-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1770-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1770-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1770-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1770-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1770-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1770-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1770-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1770-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1770-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ingredients for Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>Preheat oven to 325°F.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Roll out pie dough and shape into 9\" pie plate.

My mother is from Shreveport, Louisiana and although I was raised in Rochester, New York, pecans were shipped to us every holiday season. It was rare, if not impossible, to find pecans in the stores in Rochester at that time. My grandmother shipped whole pecans in the shell to us and I assisted in removing the nuts from the hard shells using old nutcrackers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My mother made a traditional pecan pie and she didn’t make a crust from scratch. I grew up in the era of newly discovered convenience food and my mother was a working mother so some short cuts were welcomed. Her filling was a typical gooey sweet and heavily nutty one. We almost always ate our slices served warm with vanilla ice cream.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I grew up and traveled and discovered more food, I was exposed to recipes other than my grandmother’s and mother’s. There’s always a next level to discover and create. I’m an admitted chocoholic so when my friend Eve introduced me to her version with the addition of chocolate, I had to add that and make it my own with a touch of bourbon. The quality of the chocolate is very important to me and I’m partial to the local Bay area company \u003ca href=\"https://www.guittard.com/\">Guittard\u003c/a>. Amy Guittard is a colleague and friend and she’s the fifth generation in her family to work at the company. And though I love a good barrel-aged bourbon, the quality of bourbon doesn’t matter as much since most of the alcohol is cooked off. Although, since such a small amount is used, better to buy the good stuff for “leftovers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The best part of this recipe is its simplicity. It’s a real dump and stir. Since so much of holiday meal preparation takes a long time, it’s nice to know that dessert, often the most intimidating part of the meal to make, is just minutes away. This combination of chocolate, pecans and bourbon is so flavorful and rich that just a slightly sweetened home whipped cream is the only accompaniment needed to enjoy this divine combination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_122673\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-122673\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_2127-new.jpg\" alt=\"Tanya Holland's Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_2127-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_2127-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_2127-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_2127-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_2127-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_2127-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_2127-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_2127-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_2127-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_2127-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tanya Holland's Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Tanya Holland's Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes one 9\" pie or 8 servings\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>1 cup dark chocolate chips or bar cut into chunks\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 cups pecans, roughly chopped\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 cup light brown sugar\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 cup light corn syrup\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 cup dark corn syrup\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>4 large eggs, lightly beaten\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 Tbl vanilla extract\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 tsp salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/3 cup bourbon\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 Tbl butter, melted\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 homemade pie crust (\u003cem>\u003cstrong>see recipe below\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>)\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_122651\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-122651\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1770-new.jpg\" alt=\"Ingredients for Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1770-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1770-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1770-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1770-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1770-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1770-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1770-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1770-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1770-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1770-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ingredients for Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>Preheat oven to 325°F.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Roll out pie dough and shape into 9\" pie plate.

But we can choose to buy organic, or select a restaurant that emphasizes sustainability for our Friday night date. Here are just a few of the restaurants in the Bay Area that are trying to create a better world through the growing, selection and preparation of the food they serve. But we know this list is just a sampling of the many great environmentally-friendly restaurants in the area. Did we miss your favorite?

The restaurant overlooks Richardson Bay, so there’s a waterfront view as you enjoy winning renditions of classic dishes like fish and chips--shatteringly crispy, served with plump steak fries and an herbaceous tartar sauce. Their clam chowder is far better than the bowls of cream you get at Pier 39. It’s thinner but boasts a stronger clam flavor, with large pieces of bacon and even larger chunks of potatoes. They also feature several fish of the day, which you can get in a sandwich, with pasta or with a salad. On our visit it was squid, herring and trout. The rainbow trout, \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/quest/2014/02/13/vegetarian-farmed-fish-may-be-key-to-sustainable-aquaculture/\">sustainably farmed from McFarland Springs\u003c/a>, was cooked perfectly, with a hint of char from their wood-fired grill. Atop a bed of greens and paired with a bright vinaigrette, it was an ideal lunch for a sunny Sausalito afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_121138\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-121138\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_33652.png\" alt=\"Clam chowder from Fish.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_33652.png 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_33652-160x213.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_33652-800x1067.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_33652-768x1024.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_33652-1020x1360.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_33652-1180x1573.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_33652-960x1280.png 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_33652-240x320.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_33652-375x500.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_33652-520x693.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Clam chowder from Fish. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.331fish.com/\">\u003cstrong>Fish\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n350 Harbor Dr [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/ckHSKgeewGG2\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nSausalito, CA 94965\u003cbr>\nPh: (415) 331-3474\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Sun, 11:30m-8:30pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Fish-Restaurant-177088469103/\">Fish Restaurant\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/FishinSausalito\">@FishinSausalito\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/fishrestaurantsausalito/\">@fishrestaurantsausalito\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice range: $$$ (Entrees $18-$24)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Vik’s Chaat & Market\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_121118\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-121118\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0604.jpg\" alt=\"Crispy pani puri is just one of the delicious Indian snack foods Vik's offers.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0604.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0604-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0604-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0604-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0604-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0604-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0604-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0604-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0604-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0604-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Crispy pani puri is just one of the delicious Indian snack foods Vik's offers. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Every day, people flock to an unassuming part of West Berkeley for the Indian street food at \u003cstrong>Vik’s Chaat\u003c/strong>.

And indeed, they are, with 100% of the restaurant's ingredients coming from organic sources. Even the condiments--ketchup, mustard, hot sauce--are organic. Their menu includes lots of healthy options like grain bowls, meal-worthy salads and smoothies (on my visit, many besuited Financial District workers were happily slurping tumblers of green liquids) but there’s also less wholesome options. A fried chicken sandwich was appropriately crispy, topped with a pile of crunchy, mildly spicy slaw. The restaurant also changes seasonally. Their summer cobb had all the best parts of the original--egg, blue cheese, avocado--but with an added crunch from roasted chickpeas and green beans and a freshness from a zingy lemon flax

That means leftover vegetables from their veggie scramble might find their way into their swamp-colored gumbo, a rich, aromatic mix of vegetables and chilies tangled around shrimp and smoked chicken.

When she found out that my friend and I wanted to order a few dishes and split an entree, she muttered something about needing to order two entrees and OpenTable points as she walked away. (I scoured my reservation email and the website, but didn’t see any such requirement.) Eventually she returned, dumping our dishes on the table. The Kernza bread was hearty and slightly nutty, similar to a levain sourdough. “If I could only eat this bread the rest of my life, I’d be ok with that,” my friend said, and I agreed. The aquaponic greens come from the restaurant's West Oakland greenhouse, and were crisp, delicately dressed in a vinaigrette atop a few dabs of a creamy, avocado based dressing. Our lamb (a note on the menu mentioned that a carbon ranching surcharge would be added to our bill “to reflect the true cost of beef and lamb”) was meltingly tender, surrounded by cauliflower prepared in a variety of methods. Some florets were pickled, others roasted, and the whole arrangement was accompanied by a slick of roasted cauliflower puree, assertively salted and almost cheesy tasting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_121133\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-121133\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0924.png\" alt='The lamb and cauliflower entree included a surcharge to \"reflect the true cost of beef and lamb.\"' width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0924.png 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0924-160x120.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0924-800x600.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0924-768x576.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0924-1020x765.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0924-1180x885.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0924-960x720.png 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0924-240x180.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0924-375x281.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0924-520x390.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The lamb and cauliflower entree included a surcharge to \"reflect the true cost of beef and lamb.\" \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.theperennialsf.com/\">\u003cstrong>The Perennial\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n59 9th St [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/jipK63qpecB2\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco, CA 94103\u003cbr>\nPh: (415) 500-7788\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Sat, 5:30-9pm; Closed Sun\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/ThePerennialSF/\">The Perennial\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/theperennialsf\">@theperennialsf\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/theperennialsf/\">@theperennialsf\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice range: $$$ (Entrees $18-$24)\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Want to help the environment?

But that doesn’t mean that it’s become any less important to focus on sustainable food. Most of us don’t have the power to make the kind of large-scale decisions that affect our food systems the way say, a giant food conglomerate or the government can. But we can choose to buy organic, or select a restaurant that emphasizes sustainability for our Friday night date. Here are just a few of the restaurants in the Bay Area that are trying to create a better world through the growing, selection and preparation of the food they serve. But we know this list is just a sampling of the many great environmentally-friendly restaurants in the area. Did we miss your favorite?

(The combination of casualness and high prices might not be for everyone: if you’re offended by the idea of a $36 crab roll paired with wine from a Mason jar, go elsewhere.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_121136\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-121136\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0987.png\" alt=\"You can get the fish of the day--here, a rainbow trout--with pasta, salad or as part of a sandwich.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1295\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0987.png 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0987-160x108.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0987-800x540.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0987-768x518.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0987-1020x688.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0987-1180x796.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0987-960x648.png 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0987-240x162.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0987-375x253.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0987-520x351.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">You can get the fish of the day--here, a rainbow trout--with pasta, salad or as part of a sandwich. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_121134\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-121134 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0945.png\" alt=\"Fish offers a several varieties types of sustainable fish. \" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0945.png 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0945-160x120.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0945-800x600.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0945-768x576.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0945-1020x765.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0945-1180x885.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0945-960x720.png 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0945-240x180.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0945-375x281.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0945-520x390.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fish offers a several varieties types of sustainable fish. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For those willing to spend the money, it’s a charming experience. The restaurant overlooks Richardson Bay, so there’s a waterfront view as you enjoy winning renditions of classic dishes like fish and chips--shatteringly crispy, served with plump steak fries and an herbaceous tartar sauce. Their clam chowder is far better than the bowls of cream you get at Pier 39. It’s thinner but boasts a stronger clam flavor, with large pieces of bacon and even larger chunks of potatoes. They also feature several fish of the day, which you can get in a sandwich, with pasta or with a salad. On our visit it was squid, herring and trout. The rainbow trout, \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/quest/2014/02/13/vegetarian-farmed-fish-may-be-key-to-sustainable-aquaculture/\">sustainably farmed from McFarland Springs\u003c/a>, was cooked perfectly, with a hint of char from their wood-fired grill. Atop a bed of greens and paired with a bright vinaigrette, it was an ideal lunch for a sunny Sausalito afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_121138\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-121138\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_33652.png\" alt=\"Clam chowder from Fish.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_33652.png 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_33652-160x213.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_33652-800x1067.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_33652-768x1024.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_33652-1020x1360.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_33652-1180x1573.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_33652-960x1280.png 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_33652-240x320.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_33652-375x500.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_33652-520x693.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Clam chowder from Fish. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.331fish.com/\">\u003cstrong>Fish\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n350 Harbor Dr [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/ckHSKgeewGG2\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nSausalito, CA 94965\u003cbr>\nPh: (415) 331-3474\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Sun, 11:30m-8:30pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Fish-Restaurant-177088469103/\">Fish Restaurant\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/FishinSausalito\">@FishinSausalito\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/fishrestaurantsausalito/\">@fishrestaurantsausalito\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice range: $$$ (Entrees $18-$24)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Vik’s Chaat & Market\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_121118\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-121118\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0604.jpg\" alt=\"Crispy pani puri is just one of the delicious Indian snack foods Vik's offers.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0604.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0604-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0604-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0604-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0604-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0604-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0604-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0604-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0604-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/09/IMG_0604-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Crispy pani puri is just one of the delicious Indian snack foods Vik's offers. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Every day, people flock to an unassuming part of West Berkeley for the Indian street food at \u003cstrong>Vik’s Chaat\u003c/strong>.

And indeed, they are, with 100% of the restaurant's ingredients coming from organic sources. Even the condiments--ketchup, mustard, hot sauce--are organic. Their menu includes lots of healthy options like grain bowls, meal-worthy salads and smoothies (on my visit, many besuited Financial District workers were happily slurping tumblers of green liquids) but there’s also less wholesome options. A fried chicken sandwich was appropriately crispy, topped with a pile of crunchy, mildly spicy slaw. The restaurant also changes seasonally. Their summer cobb had all the best parts of the original--egg, blue cheese, avocado--but with an added crunch from roasted chickpeas and green beans and a freshness from a zingy lemon flax vinaigrette.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_121129\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-121129\"

(I scoured my reservation email and the website, but didn’t see any such requirement.) Eventually she returned, dumping our dishes on the table. The Kernza bread was hearty and slightly nutty, similar to a levain sourdough. “If I could only eat this bread the rest of my life, I’d be ok with that,” my friend said, and I agreed. The aquaponic greens come from the restaurant's West Oakland greenhouse, and were crisp, delicately dressed in a vinaigrette atop a few dabs of a creamy, avocado based dressing. Our lamb (a note on the menu mentioned that a carbon ranching surcharge would be added to our bill “to reflect the true cost of beef and lamb”) was meltingly tender, surrounded by cauliflower prepared in a variety of methods.

Chicken was a delicacy before World War II because of its relatively high cost; however, its fried incarnation was forever commodified in the U.S. by a colonel who shall remained unnamed, when his small fast-food franchise expanded rapidly through the United States in the 1950s and ‘60s. But take heart. There are plenty of local chefs still doing the tradition justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1961, \u003ca href=\"http://www.gainesvilletimes.com/archives/21373/\" target=\"_blank\">the city of Gainesville, Georgia, passed an ordinance\u003c/a> that made it illegal to eat fried chicken with anything but your hands, including a knife and fork. As recently as 2009, a 91-year-old woman was nearly arrested for trying to subvert the law. Here in the Bay Area, we’re for freedom of choice. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In terms of recipes, I’ll go out on a limb and say: Simplest is best. The fewer the ingredients, the better, no matter what the pedigree of your bird. The 12 spots recommended here are divided into three categories: \u003cstrong>Down Home\u003c/strong>, \u003cstrong>Fancy\u003c/strong> and \u003cstrong>With Waffles\u003c/strong>. The Down Home group, as might be expected, has the highest number of entries, while the three “fancy” spots aren’t formal so much as they are trendy and upscale. And yet, they’ve all devoted significant energy to developing an homage to this timeless dish.

The kitchen sticks strictly to boneless breast meat, coated thoroughly (but not over-laden) with egg and flour and deep-fried. The Louisiana twist comes out in the sides: sweet potatoes mashed with ginger and vanilla, slightly spicy and dessert-like, and smoky tasso ham (pork shoulder) cream gravy. Crisp steamed green beans save this dish from over-the-top decadence. Quick frying in very hot oil seals in the juices of the white meat. A bonus is that this is a dish that kids who don’t like bones in their meat will enjoy, especially with a side of hushpuppies and honey butter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.angelineskitchen.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Angeline’s Louisiana Kitchen\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n2261 Shattuck Ave. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/ns8xUH\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nBerkeley, CA 94704\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 548-6900\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon, 5:30-9:30pm; Tue-Thu, 11:30am-9pm; Fri-Sat, 11:am-10pm; Sun 11:30am-9pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Angelines-Louisiana-Kitchen-286623082447/\" target=\"_blank\">Angeline’s Louisiana Kitchen\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/explore/locations/916489/\" target=\"_blank\">Angeline’s Louisiana Kitchen\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$ Fried chicken ($16.99)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_117241\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920.jpg\" alt=\"Lady Esther's has a way with homestyle fried chicken.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-117241\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lady Esther's has a way with homestyle fried chicken. \u003ccite>(Kim Westerman)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/lady-esthers-oakland\" target=\"_blank\">Lady Esther’s\u003c/a> is the newest entry to the East Bay fried chicken scene, but only technically. Louisiana-born Esther Clay owned and operated her namesake Lady Esther’s at various locations in Oakland from the late 1960s to the early 1990s, where she served such cultural luminaries as James Baldwin and Diana Ross. Her daughter Deimentrius, who made her own name at Southern Café (which she’s no longer affiliated with) carries on her mother’s proud legacy, serving a full Louisiana menu that includes resplendent fried chicken. The main seasonings on my perfectly flaky three pieces of skin-on dark meat were salt and pepper, straight-up, and I chose sides I thought would highlight the chicken’s spot-on simplicity: mac and cheese, collard greens and stewed cabbage, the greens kicked up with a bit of pepper vinegar. Each plate is cooked to order (and enough for at least two people), so be patient. It travels fine, but the only reason to get it to go is to pair it with a nice Cabernet Franc or IPA (the restaurant doesn’t serve alcohol), but otherwise it’s never better than just out of the fryer. Lady Esther’s caters to the downtown business crowd, so if you’re there for lunch, sweet tea is an appropriate substitute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/lady-esthers-oakland\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Lady Esther’s Original Southern Café\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n300 Frank Ogawa Plaza [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/CmHEJq\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94612\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 548-6900\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Fri, 11am-6pm; closed Sat-Sun\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$ Fried chicken ($17.99)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_117239\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920.jpg\" alt=\"Fried chicken with grits and eggs at Oakland's Lois the Pie Queen.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-117239\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fried chicken with grits and eggs at Oakland's Lois the Pie Queen. \u003ccite>(Kim Westerman)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/lois-the-pie-queen-oakland\" target=\"_blank\">Lois the Pie Queen\u003c/a>, the storied restaurant in north Oakland adjacent to the burgeoning Lorin District in south Berkeley, had its heyday in the and 1970s and '80s, evidenced by the glamorous photos of international celebrities on the walls, most of them personally autographed. The original location on Sacramento Street was founded by Lois Cleveland Davis, and moved to its current location in the early 1970s. It’s now run by Davis’ son, Chris, and her granddaughter, Margot. Because the restaurant also does a brisk waffle business, it might’ve ended up in the With Waffles category of this guide, but I went with Down Home because of the kitchen’s way with homemade biscuits, eggs and grits. So, yes, fried chicken for breakfast. Come when you’re not in a hurry because sometimes the wait for chicken fried on the spot is a bit long. But it’s worth it for a traditional Southern breakfast, gussied up with fried chicken, soaked in seasoned milk, skin on, then simply flour-battered and deep-fried. Ask for all-dark meat, which is moister than the white, and extra butter for those grits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/lois-the-pie-queen-oakland\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Lois the Pie Queen\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n851 60th St. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/rVmv6E\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94704\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 658-5616\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Fri, 8am-2pm; Sat, 7am-3pm; Sun 7am-4pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Lois-The-Pie-Queen-118166941529472/\" target=\"_blank\">Lois the Pie Queen\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$ Fried chicken ($16.50)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_117238\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920.jpg\" alt=\"Fried chicken lunch at Southern Cafe on MacArthur in Oakland.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-117238\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fried chicken lunch at Southern Café on MacArthur in Oakland. \u003ccite>(Kim Westerman)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://southerncafe2000.com/#header\" target=\"_blank\">Southern Café\u003c/a>, perhaps the most classic of all the places on this list for its easy, Sunday dining-room ambiance, gracious service, and confident way with fried chicken.

The chicken was so good that I left thinking I should probably try other dishes on the menu, knowing I likely never would, unless I end up back there on a non-Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.stellanonna.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Stella Nonna\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n1407 San Pablo Ave. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/LVAXh3\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nBerkeley, CA 94602\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 524-3400\u003cbr>\nHours: Wed-Fri, 11am-9pm; Sat, 9am-9pm; Sun, 9am-3pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Stella-Nonna-195437967192425/\" target=\"_blank\">Stella Nonna\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$ Minnesota fried chicken ($17.50)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_117233\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/A-heaping-plate-of-fried-chicken-and-fixins-at-Touch-of-Soul-in-Oakland1920.jpg\" alt=\"A heaping plate of fried chicken and fixins at Touch of Soul in Oakland.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-117233\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/A-heaping-plate-of-fried-chicken-and-fixins-at-Touch-of-Soul-in-Oakland1920.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/A-heaping-plate-of-fried-chicken-and-fixins-at-Touch-of-Soul-in-Oakland1920-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/A-heaping-plate-of-fried-chicken-and-fixins-at-Touch-of-Soul-in-Oakland1920-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/A-heaping-plate-of-fried-chicken-and-fixins-at-Touch-of-Soul-in-Oakland1920-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/A-heaping-plate-of-fried-chicken-and-fixins-at-Touch-of-Soul-in-Oakland1920-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/A-heaping-plate-of-fried-chicken-and-fixins-at-Touch-of-Soul-in-Oakland1920-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/A-heaping-plate-of-fried-chicken-and-fixins-at-Touch-of-Soul-in-Oakland1920-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/A-heaping-plate-of-fried-chicken-and-fixins-at-Touch-of-Soul-in-Oakland1920-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/A-heaping-plate-of-fried-chicken-and-fixins-at-Touch-of-Soul-in-Oakland1920-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/A-heaping-plate-of-fried-chicken-and-fixins-at-Touch-of-Soul-in-Oakland1920-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A heaping plate of fried chicken and fixins at Touch of Soul in Oakland. \u003ccite>(Kim Westerman)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>It’s a tiny cheat to include \u003ca href=\"http://touch-of-soul.business.site/\" target=\"_blank\">Touch of Soul\u003c/a> in a fried chicken guide to Berkeley and Oakland because it’s officially in Emeryville, but if you think of borders as arbitrary, it makes perfect sense, given that this little gem of a restaurant is on the main drag of San Pablo as you head south through Oakland. It deserves its place on the list for value, alone. For $13.39, you get a plate that I daresay would feed three people, a half-chicken, in fact. But I wouldn’t recommend it if it weren’t also delicious, which it is. There are many sides to choose from, and I can never pass up stuffing, so I ordered a carb-loaded dinner that also included mashed potatoes and gravy and long-cooked collards.

While I excluded karaage from this list, Hopscotch certainly makes the cut because the concept is classic American-fried. You don’t know there’s anything else going on until you take a bite and sense a hint of ginger in the batter, and the sides of baked beans and pickled purple cabbage don’t give away the secret. Furthermore, you can buy a whole bucket of fried chicken to go (eight pieces for $30)! The icing on the cake is the craft cocktail list, with choices for any time of day. I had the Y Tu Mamá with mescal, St. George’s chili vodka, cynar and grapefruit juice, and found it to be a sumptuous midday repast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/2016/04/21/check-please-bay-area-reviews-to-bang-korean-bbq-tinas-place-and-hopscotch/\" target=\"_blank\">Watch Hopscotch featured on Check, Please!

No dithering over sides here: The exquisitely fried chicken comes with potato salad, field greens with lemon, and killer homemade hot sauce. Boom.

While it still has a decidedly Southern feel, it’s also got a local Oaktown vibe with super-casual-cum-professional servers who seem to be plugged in to their largely regular clientele—and a general air of leisure, the precise variety of which you want when you’re truly breakfasting or practicing the art of brunch. Aunt Mary’s fried chicken is of the “with waffle” variety, and it’s the second of two places on this list I recommend as white-meat-only, in part for the accompanying yeasted grits waffle. Light and airy, yet coarsely textured, this is one of the best waffles in all of the Bay Area. And you can get it savory-leaning with sage gravy or with agave syrup (maple syrup for an extra $2). But I digress. The chicken is a thin (perhaps pounded) breast, coasted with a beguiling breading rumored to include potato chips. I couldn’t get confirmation from the kitchen, but my server seemed confident about this proclamation, and my first bite confirmed it: crunchy, salty, dense without being heavy. The platter is served with a steak knife stabbed through the chicken like a culinary crime scene—or maybe a big T-bone. The dish fills the whole plate, and it’s almost a given that you’ll have leftovers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://auntmaryscafe.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Aunt Mary’s Café\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n4640 Telegraph Ave. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/QPNgKp\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94609\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 601-9227\u003cbr>\nHours: Daily, 8am-3pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/Aunt-Marys-Cafe-Temescal/210868242267494\" target=\"_blank\">Aunt Mary’s Café - Temescal\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/auntmaryscafe\" target=\"_blank\">@auntmaryscafe\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/explore/locations/813/\" target=\"_blank\">Aunt Mary’s Café\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$ Fried chicken and grits waffle ($14.50)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_117243\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920.jpg\" alt=\"Tanya Holland's deservedly famous chicken and waffles at Brown Sugar Kitchen.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-117243\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tanya Holland's deservedly famous chicken and waffles at Brown Sugar Kitchen. \u003ccite>(Kim Westerman)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Tanya Holland’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.brownsugarkitchen.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Brown Sugar Kitchen\u003c/a> is the stuff chicken and waffle dreams are made of.

The restaurant could’ve landed in any of the three categories on this list, but the chef’s ethereal cornmeal waffles tip the scale to the “with waffles” group. Crisp, golden, and light as air, the waffles are served with brown sugar butter and a brilliantly tart apple cider syrup, so the sweetness in the dish comes more from the butter than the syrup. The fried chicken is equally compelling, brined in a buttermilk bath before frying, and then finished in the oven. The only mistake you can make here is to arrive too late to get a table. It happens, especially on weekends, so plan ahead.

Chicken was a delicacy before World War II because of its relatively high cost; however, its fried incarnation was forever commodified in the U.S. by a colonel who shall remained unnamed, when his small fast-food franchise expanded rapidly through the United States in the 1950s and ‘60s. But take heart. There are plenty of local chefs still doing the tradition justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1961, \u003ca href=\"http://www.gainesvilletimes.com/archives/21373/\" target=\"_blank\">the city of Gainesville, Georgia, passed an ordinance\u003c/a> that made it illegal to eat fried chicken with anything but your hands, including a knife and fork. As recently as 2009, a 91-year-old woman was nearly arrested for trying to subvert the law. Here in the Bay Area, we’re for freedom of choice. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In terms of recipes, I’ll go out on a limb and say: Simplest is best. The fewer the ingredients, the better, no matter what the pedigree of your bird. The 12 spots recommended here are divided into three categories: \u003cstrong>Down Home\u003c/strong>, \u003cstrong>Fancy\u003c/strong> and \u003cstrong>With Waffles\u003c/strong>. The Down Home group, as might be expected, has the highest number of entries, while the three “fancy” spots aren’t formal so much as they are trendy and upscale. And yet, they’ve all devoted significant energy to developing an homage to this timeless dish. The With Waffles category speaks for itself, and it’s the one genre for which time of day doesn’t matter. You can get waffles with your chicken for any meal these restaurants happen to be serving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proceed with gusto, and without thoughts of LDL cholesterol.

The kitchen sticks strictly to boneless breast meat, coated thoroughly (but not over-laden) with egg and flour and deep-fried. The Louisiana twist comes out in the sides: sweet potatoes mashed with ginger and vanilla, slightly spicy and dessert-like, and smoky tasso ham (pork shoulder) cream gravy. Crisp steamed green beans save this dish from over-the-top decadence. Quick frying in very hot oil seals in the juices of the white meat. A bonus is that this is a dish that kids who don’t like bones in their meat will enjoy, especially with a side of hushpuppies and honey butter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.angelineskitchen.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Angeline’s Louisiana Kitchen\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n2261 Shattuck Ave. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/ns8xUH\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nBerkeley, CA 94704\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 548-6900\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon, 5:30-9:30pm; Tue-Thu, 11:30am-9pm; Fri-Sat, 11:am-10pm; Sun 11:30am-9pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Angelines-Louisiana-Kitchen-286623082447/\" target=\"_blank\">Angeline’s Louisiana Kitchen\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/explore/locations/916489/\" target=\"_blank\">Angeline’s Louisiana Kitchen\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$ Fried chicken ($16.99)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_117241\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920.jpg\" alt=\"Lady Esther's has a way with homestyle fried chicken.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-117241\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Lady-Esthers-has-a-way-with-homestyle-friend-chicken1920-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lady Esther's has a way with homestyle fried chicken. \u003ccite>(Kim Westerman)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/lady-esthers-oakland\" target=\"_blank\">Lady Esther’s\u003c/a> is the newest entry to the East Bay fried chicken scene, but only technically. Louisiana-born Esther Clay owned and operated her namesake Lady Esther’s at various locations in Oakland from the late 1960s to the early 1990s, where she served such cultural luminaries as James Baldwin and Diana Ross. Her daughter Deimentrius, who made her own name at Southern Café (which she’s no longer affiliated with) carries on her mother’s proud legacy, serving a full Louisiana menu that includes resplendent fried chicken. The main seasonings on my perfectly flaky three pieces of skin-on dark meat were salt and pepper, straight-up, and I chose sides I thought would highlight the chicken’s spot-on simplicity: mac and cheese, collard greens and stewed cabbage, the greens kicked up with a bit of pepper vinegar. Each plate is cooked to order (and enough for at least two people), so be patient. It travels fine, but the only reason to get it to go is to pair it with a nice Cabernet Franc or IPA (the restaurant doesn’t serve alcohol), but otherwise it’s never better than just out of the fryer. Lady Esther’s caters to the downtown business crowd, so if you’re there for lunch, sweet tea is an appropriate substitute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/lady-esthers-oakland\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Lady Esther’s Original Southern Café\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n300 Frank Ogawa Plaza [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/CmHEJq\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94612\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 548-6900\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Fri, 11am-6pm; closed Sat-Sun\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$ Fried chicken ($17.99)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_117239\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920.jpg\" alt=\"Fried chicken with grits and eggs at Oakland's Lois the Pie Queen.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-117239\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-with-grits-and-eggs-at-Oaklands-Lois-the-Pie-Queen1920-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fried chicken with grits and eggs at Oakland's Lois the Pie Queen. \u003ccite>(Kim Westerman)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/lois-the-pie-queen-oakland\" target=\"_blank\">Lois the Pie Queen\u003c/a>, the storied restaurant in north Oakland adjacent to the burgeoning Lorin District in south Berkeley, had its heyday in the and 1970s and '80s, evidenced by the glamorous photos of international celebrities on the walls, most of them personally autographed. The original location on Sacramento Street was founded by Lois Cleveland Davis, and moved to its current location in the early 1970s. It’s now run by Davis’ son, Chris, and her granddaughter, Margot. Because the restaurant also does a brisk waffle business, it might’ve ended up in the With Waffles category of this guide, but I went with Down Home because of the kitchen’s way with homemade biscuits, eggs and grits. So, yes, fried chicken for breakfast. Come when you’re not in a hurry because sometimes the wait for chicken fried on the spot is a bit long. But it’s worth it for a traditional Southern breakfast, gussied up with fried chicken, soaked in seasoned milk, skin on, then simply flour-battered and deep-fried. Ask for all-dark meat, which is moister than the white, and extra butter for those grits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/lois-the-pie-queen-oakland\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Lois the Pie Queen\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n851 60th St. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/rVmv6E\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94704\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 658-5616\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Fri, 8am-2pm; Sat, 7am-3pm; Sun 7am-4pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Lois-The-Pie-Queen-118166941529472/\" target=\"_blank\">Lois the Pie Queen\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$ Fried chicken ($16.50)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_117238\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920.jpg\" alt=\"Fried chicken lunch at Southern Cafe on MacArthur in Oakland.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-117238\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Fried-chicken-lunch-at-Southern-Cafe-on-MacArthur-in-Oakland1920-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fried chicken lunch at Southern Café on MacArthur in Oakland. \u003ccite>(Kim Westerman)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://southerncafe2000.com/#header\" target=\"_blank\">Southern Café\u003c/a>, perhaps the most classic of all the places on this list for its easy, Sunday dining-room ambiance, gracious service, and confident way with fried chicken.

It’s not fancy, or even upscale, particularly, but it’s elegant in its way, with a focus on attentive service and general friendliness.

Furthermore, you can buy a whole bucket of fried chicken to go (eight pieces for $30)! The icing on the cake is the craft cocktail list, with choices for any time of day.

The space, in Swan’s Market in Old Oakland, is also among the most joyful in town, with easygoing servers who know their food. Order a pickle plate and the salt fish and ackee for the table, then settle in for the four-piece fried chicken dinner, which is enough for a family of four, especially if you order other dishes. No dithering over sides here: The exquisitely fried chicken comes with potato salad, field greens with lemon, and killer homemade hot sauce. Boom. Get a carafe of inexpensive rosé to share and sit outside and people-watch to your heart’s content.

After you taste \u003ca href=\"http://www.pizzaiolooakland.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Pizzaiolo’s\u003c/a> version, you’ll surely say, “Why not?” The secret, and the way it remains in the wheelhouse of “Italian,” is in the salsa rossa served on top. A bright tomato and pepper sauce traditionally used for bollito misto, it’s also just right with fried poultry, as it happens, especially the buttermilk-breaded variety. The chicken isn’t on the menu every night, but it usually makes an appearance several times a week. Because the pizzas here are not to be missed, I recommend ordering a plate of fried chicken, when available, to share with the table.

While it still has a decidedly Southern feel, it’s also got a local Oaktown vibe with super-casual-cum-professional servers who seem to be plugged in to their largely regular clientele—and a general air of leisure, the precise variety of which you want when you’re truly breakfasting or practicing the art of brunch. Aunt Mary’s fried chicken is of the “with waffle” variety, and it’s the second of two places on this list I recommend as white-meat-only, in part for the accompanying yeasted grits waffle. Light and airy, yet coarsely textured, this is one of the best waffles in all of the Bay Area. And you can get it savory-leaning with sage gravy or with agave syrup (maple syrup for an extra $2). But I digress. The chicken is a thin (perhaps pounded) breast, coasted with a beguiling breading rumored to include potato chips. I couldn’t get confirmation from the kitchen, but my server seemed confident about this proclamation, and my first bite confirmed it: crunchy, salty, dense without being heavy. The platter is served with a steak knife stabbed through the chicken like a culinary crime scene—or maybe a big T-bone. The dish fills the whole plate, and it’s almost a given that you’ll have leftovers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://auntmaryscafe.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Aunt Mary’s Café\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n4640 Telegraph Ave. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/QPNgKp\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94609\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 601-9227\u003cbr>\nHours: Daily, 8am-3pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/Aunt-Marys-Cafe-Temescal/210868242267494\" target=\"_blank\">Aunt Mary’s Café - Temescal\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/auntmaryscafe\" target=\"_blank\">@auntmaryscafe\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/explore/locations/813/\" target=\"_blank\">Aunt Mary’s Café\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$ Fried chicken and grits waffle ($14.50)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_117243\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920.jpg\" alt=\"Tanya Holland's deservedly famous chicken and waffles at Brown Sugar Kitchen.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-117243\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/Tanya-Hollands-deservedly-famous-chicken-and-waffles-at-Brown-Sugar-Kitchen1920-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tanya Holland's deservedly famous chicken and waffles at Brown Sugar Kitchen. \u003ccite>(Kim Westerman)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Tanya Holland’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.brownsugarkitchen.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Brown Sugar Kitchen\u003c/a> is the stuff chicken and waffle dreams are made of. Holland brings her French culinary training at Burgundy’s \u003ca href=\"http://lavarenne.com/about-la-varenne/\" target=\"_blank\">École de Cuisine La Varenne\u003c/a> to West Oakland in the form of New Soul food, which is so delicious that she may have well invented the term. The restaurant could’ve landed in any of the three categories on this list, but the chef’s ethereal cornmeal waffles tip the scale to the “with waffles” group. Crisp, golden, and light as air, the waffles are served with brown sugar butter and a brilliantly tart apple cider syrup, so the sweetness in the dish comes more from the butter than the syrup. The fried chicken is equally compelling, brined in a buttermilk bath before frying, and then finished in the oven. The only mistake you can make here is to arrive too late to get a table. It happens, especially on weekends, so plan ahead.

They’re not as decadent as pancakes, as 90s-nostalgic as Benedicts, or as Instagram-worthy as a $10 slice of avocado toast. That’s unfair, because--at least in the East Bay--they’re consistently one of the most satisfying dishes on the menu. Just think of the random-but-good dishes you’ve made from throwing together whatever is about to go bad into a skillet and putting an egg on top. That alchemy is magnified in the restaurant kitchen, where chefs can stretch their creativity in ways not afforded by yet another pancake dish.

Even setting the false advertising aside, it’s a miss. Large chunks of crispy tempeh are flecked with caraway and a pitiful amount of green onions. Perfectly poached eggs added a welcome richness to the dry tempeh, but the flavor of almost--burnt tempeh distracted. I’ve heard that their previous versions of this dish were better--tempeh and goat cheese sounds like a much better combination--but for now, I’d stick with their vegetable garbage bread for your vegetarian brunch needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.portaloakland.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Portal\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n1611 2nd Ave [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/4zcquiEsdan\" target=\"_blank\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94606\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 663-7678\u003cbr>\nHours: Closed Monday; Tue-Sat 11am-11pm; Sun 10am-10pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Portal-Oakland-350842241627472/?ref=bookmarks\" target=\"_blank\">Portal Oakland\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/portaloakland\" target=\"_blank\">@PortalOakland\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/portaloakland/\" target=\"_blank\">portaloakland\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$ Entrees ($11-$17)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_106445\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-106445\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2673.jpg\" alt=\"Beef hash at Sequoia Diner\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2673.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2673-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2673-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2673-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2673-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2673-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2673-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Beef hash at Sequoia Diner \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Newcomer \u003cstrong>Sequoia Diner\u003c/strong> has a simple, traditional diner menu improved by housemade sausage and bread products.

Their beef hash shows off their ability to punch up old favorites with subtle improvements. Potatoes and big chunks of tender, well-seasoned beef are formed into a sizable crispy patty, and topped with two wobbly poached eggs. My favorite part were the small colorful piles of tangy accompaniments: pickled cabbage, sliced carrots and dressed arugula. Hashes can sometimes be a slog, piles of potatoes that never seem to end, and these sides were a wonderful contrast, adding sharpness and acidity to each bite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sequoiadiner.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Sequoia Diner\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n3719 MacArthur Blvd [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/zF1Gm3Krfww\" target=\"_blank\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94619\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 482-3719\u003cbr>\nHours: Closed Monday-Tuesday; Tue-Sun 8am-2pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/sequoiadiner\" target=\"_blank\">Sequoia Diner\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/sequoia_diner\" target=\"_blank\">@sequoia_diner\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$ Entrees ($11-$17)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_106449\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-106449\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2894.jpg\" alt=\"Carnitas hash at Doña Tomás\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2894.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2894-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2894-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2894-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2894-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2894-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2894-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Carnitas hash at Doña Tomás \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There are plenty of reasons to love Temescal’s \u003cstrong>Doña Tomás\u003c/strong>.

The carnitas are wonderful, falling-apart tender, but the highlight is the vegetables, a rare sight on too many brunch menus. Unlike many dismal vegetable soups, the vegetables are properly cooked, maintaining their flavor and crunch.

It’s the West Oakland institution's signature dish, and the recipe has since made its way around the internet. And sure, they’re excellent. But although it may sound treasonous, the smoked pork hash is worth cheating on the waffles. If you’re not a fan of aggressive smoke and heat, order the beignets. But if you like to start your morning with a zippy burn, order the hash. Chunks of smoky pork maintain their tenderness even while transformed into a crispy browned patty. A slash of red, dairy-based sauce adds color and a moment of relief from the hash’s subtle, consistent heat. Liberally seasoned with cayenne, black pepper, red peppers and green onions, it's complex, layered and altogether satisfying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://brownsugarkitchen.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Brown Sugar Kitchen\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n2534 Mandela Pkwy [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/tcWQj5Rppik\" target=\"_blank\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94607\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 839-7685\u003cbr>\nHours: Closed Monday; Tue-Sat 7am-3pm; Sun 8am-3pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/brownsugarkitchen/\" target=\"_blank\">Brown Sugar Kitchen\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/BrownSugarKitch\" target=\"_blank\">@BrownSugarKitch\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$ Entrees ($11-$17)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_106450\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-106450\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2940.jpg\" alt=\"Pork belly hash at Grand Lake Kitchen\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2940.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2940-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2940-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2940-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2940-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2940-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2940-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pork belly hash at Grand Lake Kitchen \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The waits are long, the restaurant tiny, with tables squeezed almost on top of each other (when will the promised expansion next door finally begin?). Yet there’s a reason while the faithful line up for brunch at \u003cstrong>Grand Lake Kitchen\u003c/strong> every weekend. The wide ranging menu from that miniscule kitchen produces an eclectic mix of breakfast and lunch fare, dishes that balance the decadent with piquant bites of acidity. One such dish is the pork belly hash. From the first taste, it’s salty, fatty and rich. A drizzle of hollandaise almost--but not quite--pushes it over the the edge into depravity. A welcome sprinkle of chives helps cut through the richness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike many hashes, the potatoes don’t lose their identity, disappearing into a starchy base layer. Instead, a variety of whole small potatoes--yellow, red and purple--are slathered with tangy, slightly sweet grainy mustard. Lightly smashed, they’re folded in with with the crispy pork belly, with large chunks of the pork and potato competing for your affection. And although rushing out of bed to eat this decadent-yet-balanced dish might might seem like the antithesis of a lazy brunch, get there early: the menu warns that quantities are limited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.grandlakekitchen.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Grand Lake Kitchen\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n576 Grand Ave, Oakland [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/Md8kwR9KMAp\" target=\"_blank\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94610\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 922-9582\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon, Wed-Sun 9am-9:30pm; Closed Tuesday\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/GrandLakeKitchen\" target=\"_blank\">Grand Lake Kitchen\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/grandlakekitch\" target=\"_blank\">@GrandLakeKitch\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$ Entrees ($11-$17)\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"BAB reviews six decadent breakfast hashes with everything from pork belly to tempeh.

They’re not as decadent as pancakes, as 90s-nostalgic as Benedicts, or as Instagram-worthy as a $10 slice of avocado toast. That’s unfair, because--at least in the East Bay--they’re consistently one of the most satisfying dishes on the menu. Just think of the random-but-good dishes you’ve made from throwing together whatever is about to go bad into a skillet and putting an egg on top. That alchemy is magnified in the restaurant kitchen, where chefs can stretch their creativity in ways not afforded by yet another pancake dish. Here are five hashes we tried in Oakland and one in Berkeley.

Their corn beef hash--a pretty, Christmas-y riot of red and green-- follows the same pattern, taking the familiar dish and adding thoughtful tweaks: the potatoes are thinly sliced instead of cubed, the bell peppers are charred, the corned beef cut into huge, tender chunks that more resemble ham. Those charred peppers--there are so many of them!--make it an almost peculiarly sweet dish, although the sweetness is tempered by the aggressive bite of two types of onions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.cafemberkeley.net/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Cafe M\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n1799 Fourth St #F [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/wypVmVErkAT2\" target=\"_blank\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nBerkeley, CA 94710\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 526-4429\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Sun 8am-4pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Cafe-M-in-Berkeley-CA-150151871691500/\" target=\"_blank\">Cafe M in Berkeley, CA\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$ Entrees ($11-$17)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_106447\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-106447\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2801.jpg\" alt=\"Tempeh hash at Portal\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2801.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2801-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2801-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2801-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2801-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2801-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2801-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tempeh hash at Portal \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>I typically like the food at Oakland’s \u003cstrong>Portal\u003c/strong>, and I (obviously) like hashes.

Even setting the false advertising aside, it’s a miss. Large chunks of crispy tempeh are flecked with caraway and a pitiful amount of green onions. Perfectly poached eggs added a welcome richness to the dry tempeh, but the flavor of almost--burnt tempeh distracted. I’ve heard that their previous versions of this dish were better--tempeh and goat cheese sounds like a much better combination--but for now, I’d stick with their vegetable garbage bread for your vegetarian brunch needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.portaloakland.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Portal\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n1611 2nd Ave [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/4zcquiEsdan\" target=\"_blank\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94606\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 663-7678\u003cbr>\nHours: Closed Monday; Tue-Sat 11am-11pm; Sun 10am-10pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Portal-Oakland-350842241627472/?ref=bookmarks\" target=\"_blank\">Portal Oakland\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/portaloakland\" target=\"_blank\">@PortalOakland\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/portaloakland/\" target=\"_blank\">portaloakland\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$ Entrees ($11-$17)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_106445\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-106445\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2673.jpg\" alt=\"Beef hash at Sequoia Diner\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2673.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2673-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2673-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2673-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2673-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2673-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2673-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Beef hash at Sequoia Diner \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Newcomer \u003cstrong>Sequoia Diner\u003c/strong> has a simple, traditional diner menu improved by housemade sausage and bread products. It’s trendy (lots of succulents, waitresses with bright lipstick and cool shoes) but not precious (old school leather booths, a very family-friendly attitude). Their beef hash shows off their ability to punch up old favorites with subtle improvements. Potatoes and big chunks of tender, well-seasoned beef are formed into a sizable crispy patty, and topped with two wobbly poached eggs. My favorite part were the small colorful piles of tangy accompaniments: pickled cabbage, sliced carrots and dressed arugula. Hashes can sometimes be a slog, piles of potatoes that never seem to end, and these sides were a wonderful contrast, adding sharpness and acidity to each bite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sequoiadiner.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Sequoia Diner\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n3719 MacArthur Blvd [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/zF1Gm3Krfww\" target=\"_blank\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94619\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 482-3719\u003cbr>\nHours: Closed Monday-Tuesday; Tue-Sun 8am-2pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/sequoiadiner\" target=\"_blank\">Sequoia Diner\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/sequoia_diner\" target=\"_blank\">@sequoia_diner\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$ Entrees ($11-$17)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_106449\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-106449\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2894.jpg\" alt=\"Carnitas hash at Doña Tomás\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2894.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2894-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2894-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2894-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2894-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2894-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2894-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Carnitas hash at Doña Tomás \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There are plenty of reasons to love Temescal’s \u003cstrong>Doña Tomás\u003c/strong>.

It’s the West Oakland institution's signature dish, and the recipe has since made its way around the internet. And sure, they’re excellent. But although it may sound treasonous, the smoked pork hash is worth cheating on the waffles. If you’re not a fan of aggressive smoke and heat, order the beignets. But if you like to start your morning with a zippy burn, order the hash. Chunks of smoky pork maintain their tenderness even while transformed into a crispy browned patty. A slash of red, dairy-based sauce adds color and a moment of relief from the hash’s subtle, consistent heat. Liberally seasoned with cayenne, black pepper, red peppers and green onions, it's complex, layered and altogether satisfying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://brownsugarkitchen.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Brown Sugar Kitchen\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n2534 Mandela Pkwy [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/tcWQj5Rppik\" target=\"_blank\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94607\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 839-7685\u003cbr>\nHours: Closed Monday; Tue-Sat 7am-3pm; Sun 8am-3pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/brownsugarkitchen/\" target=\"_blank\">Brown Sugar Kitchen\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/BrownSugarKitch\" target=\"_blank\">@BrownSugarKitch\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$ Entrees ($11-$17)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_106450\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-106450\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2940.jpg\" alt=\"Pork belly hash at Grand Lake Kitchen\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2940.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2940-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2940-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2940-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2940-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2940-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/IMG_2940-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pork belly hash at Grand Lake Kitchen \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The waits are long, the restaurant tiny, with tables squeezed almost on top of each other (when will the promised expansion next door finally begin?). Yet there’s a reason while the faithful line up for brunch at \u003cstrong>Grand Lake Kitchen\u003c/strong> every weekend. The wide ranging menu from that miniscule kitchen produces an eclectic mix of breakfast and lunch fare, dishes that balance the decadent with piquant bites of acidity. One such dish is the pork belly hash. From the first taste, it’s salty, fatty and rich. A drizzle of hollandaise almost--but not quite--pushes it over the the edge into depravity. A welcome sprinkle of chives helps cut through the richness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike many hashes, the potatoes don’t lose their identity, disappearing into a starchy base layer. Instead, a variety of whole small potatoes--yellow, red and purple--are slathered with tangy, slightly sweet grainy mustard. Lightly smashed, they’re folded in with with the crispy pork belly, with large chunks of the pork and potato competing for your affection. And although rushing out of bed to eat this decadent-yet-balanced dish might might seem like the antithesis of a lazy brunch, get there early: the menu warns that quantities are limited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.grandlakekitchen.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Grand Lake Kitchen\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n576 Grand Ave, Oakland [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/maps/Md8kwR9KMAp\" target=\"_blank\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94610\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 922-9582\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon, Wed-Sun 9am-9:30pm; Closed Tuesday\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/GrandLakeKitchen\" target=\"_blank\">Grand Lake Kitchen\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/grandlakekitch\" target=\"_blank\">@GrandLakeKitch\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $$ Entrees ($11-$17)\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/106406/craving-breakfast-hash-bab-reviews-6-east-bay-spots-serving-up-this-classic-dish","authors":["5566"],"categories":["bayareabites_109","bayareabites_264","bayareabites_8770","bayareabites_13746","bayareabites_1875","bayareabites_366","bayareabites_1807","bayareabites_10"],"tags":["bayareabites_15286","bayareabites_8924","bayareabites_1368","bayareabites_15261","bayareabites_9290","bayareabites_15092","bayareabites_11000","bayareabites_15262","bayareabites_15134"],"featImg":"bayareabites_106450","label":"bayareabites"},"bayareabites_36653":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_36653","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"36653","score":null,"sort":[1324911618000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"two-step-on-over-to-b-side-bbq","title":"Two-Step On Over To B-Side BBQ ","publishDate":1324911618,"format":"aside","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{"site":"bayareabites"},"content":"\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/12/bsidesign.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/12/bsidesign-e1324331169597.jpg\" alt=\"bside bbq sign\" title=\"bside sign\" width=\"550\" height=\"411\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36674\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\"There's a new sheriff in town.
