Blogger Brunch at ABC Kitchen

January has been a banner month for dining out: Franny's, Frankies, Maialino, Henry Public, Buvette, the revamped Acme, and Roberta's. This weekend's brunch may have taken the cake, though. Everything about ABC Kitchen was spot-on. Usha, Amanda, and I braved the snowstorm to split a smattering of the restaurant's best dishes (sadly, Sonia, the organizer, came down with a bad cold on Saturday).






From top to bottom: cava, light-as-air doughnuts, squash toast with ricotta and apple cider vinegar (while unphotogenic, it took the prize for favorite dish), whole wheat pizza, housemade ricotta ravioli, roasted beets with housemade yogurt, and their famous salted caramel sundae.

We gabbed and gabbed (in between mouthfuls of food) about blogging, fashion, restaurants, and travel. Judging by the uproar at the table next to ours (and the simultaneous appearance of four picture-snapping iPhones), there may have been a celebrity in our midst, but we were having too much fun to notice. It was so much fun, in fact, that another brunch date is already on the books for February.

Ugh, that ravioli looks killer! And the donuts. And the toast. And the pizza. Maybe I should just try for myself :-)

Wow. That looks too amazing. The food alone would ensure you had a good time, but I'm sure the company made it fun as well. :)
