如果在舊金山只有時間品嚐一家早午餐廳？那麼Kitchen Story帶點亞洲巧思的加州食材創意，加上色香味俱全、連擺盤都是一門賞心悅目的藝術，絕對值得成為首選！喜歡甜味烘培早點的你，不妨試試這裡的法式厚吐司（Mascarpone Stuffed Deep Fried French Toast）：馬斯卡波尼鮮奶酪被填入極厚片吐司裡共同入鍋輕炸，讓吐司外層如甜甜圈般香酥口感、內餡則豐厚濕潤，配上新鮮莓果、淋上佛蒙特楓糖漿、蜂蜜奶油、或榛果一同入口，酸甜滋味搭配咖啡或茶飲剛好。若是偏好鹹食早午餐，那麼新英格蘭漢堡（New England Burger）是饕客首推：不僅有楓糖漿浸漬過的和牛肉餡，更夾了一層別處吃不到的特製「百萬富翁培根」（Millionaire’s Bacon）—撒上黑糖、黑胡椒、紅心辣椒後，入柴火烘烤的鮮厚培根！再鋪上嫩芝麻葉、日式醃漬蘿蔔片、搭配厚薯塊…漢堡豐厚到難以優雅口咬，只好改以刀叉禮貌享用。

Among all the famous brunch places in SF, our favorite goes to the “Kitchen Story” in the Castro. In my book《舊金山自助超簡單》, I have introduced you the authentic Frittata from “Dottie’s True Blue Cafe”, the savory homemade Crawfish Beignet from “Brenda’s French Soul Food”. They are still legendary. However, I can’t think of any reasons that you should miss giving “Kitchen Story” a try before you leave town!

Different from other brunch places, “Kitchen Story” offers California cuisine with a little Asian twist. If you have a sweet tooth, don’t miss their one of a kind “Mascarpone Stuffed Deep Fried French Toast”. If you prefer a savory meal, my favorite dish is the “New England burger”. Its millionaire’s bacon—which seasoned with brown sugar, black pepper, and cayenne before baking is a killer. I don’t care how much calories it contains, because it’s too good. ;p Let’s talk about exercise later. If you have to have eggs to call it a proper brunch, the “Millionaire’s Benedict” includes the thick juicy bacon as a bonus too.
