Silverlake, LA

Brunch, 23 July 2011

We sat outside today for brunch with some good friends. I love Dusty's. Their omelets are superb, and I quite enjoy their bread basket - so many options. Today I wasn't that hungry so I ordered a salad. I should have ordered another omelet or yogurt, but oh well. The service is aways friendly and informative, the (popular) food items are good, and it's an intimate, inviting atmosphere with an eclectic diner personality. For a consistently colorful and good breakfast, we know to come here. 

Frisee aux Lardons

(Poached Egg Salad)

with diced ham and red wine vinaigrette

I wasn't impressed with the salad itself. It was just frise'e, mostly, which was unexciting, and it was over-salted. The pancetta was mostly diced fat, not the leaner pancetta meat. The mimosas with peach served as good recovery. I wouldn't order this again. Next time, I'll stick with the omelets. I've had the Florentine omelet before, which I enjoyed. 

The crepes looked delicious. I saw a spinach and feta filled crepe, which was practically sheet-thin. It looked fantastic. Next time!
