We nearly collapsed after reading in the “East Bay Express blog”:http://www.eastbayexpress.com/blogs/?p=905 that “900 Grayson”:http://www.900grayson.com/ lost chef Sophina Uong. The West Berkeley restaurant has one of the best and unique Saturday brunches in Berkeley, so we were worried that its status as a beacon of deliciousness might be in in peril.
But yesterday we mustered up the courage to go in there and test the waters. Fearing the worst, we ordered a glass of Drake’s 1500 Pale Ale with our coffee to soften the potential blow of disappointment.
Thankfully, our worries were unfounded. The legendary and epic Tom Boy (pictured)—a delicious combination of poached eggs and potato/apple/corned beef hash with toast—was as glorious as ever, hitting the G-spot of sweet and meat.
Our associate got the much-celebrated Time Life Cookbook—a smoked Gouda soufflé omelet with an apple salad and hash browns—which made him weak in the knees because of its greatness. He did, however, note the hash browns were a little hard. Probably just a fluke.
Indeed, much like “The Blues are Still Blue”:http://www.belleandsebastian.com/recordings.php?release=39&view=lyrics&lyrics=414, the brunch is still brunch.
The Express blog also noted that 900 Grayson has been struggling with the Zoning Adjustment Board to extend its hours for dinner. We’re not sure how that’s going, but during our meal none other than Councilmember Linda Maio sat down next to us. One of the proprietors thanked for her support, before the two of them started talking.
If Maio is indeed supporting Grayson, it is excellent news for the restaurant. She’s pretty rational for a Berkeley politician, and has the ear of some of those NIMBYs who are undoubtedly obstructing the hours extension.
The prospect of 900 Grayson dinner. Damn. That’s a lot of sex to handle.
