Ed, Robert, Leo, and I all got up bright and early yesterday morning so we could meet up for brunch at 11:30 at the Beacon Bar and Grill at the Beacon Hotel. Beacon is always a fun place to go....they have a $19 all you can eat breakfast buffet on Sundays with a live pianist, and what's even better, unlimited bloody Marys, mimosas, and champagne. Let's just say that Robert and Leo got their money's worth!
The food is always basic but okay. This morning the executive chef and one of his assistants were running an omelette bar—chef made me an omelette with ham, onions, red peppers, spinach, and cheese—and there were large chafing dishes set up with an egg casserole, sausages, bacon (I love their bacon!), fried potatoes, a chicken dish, linguine and mussels, dirty rice, and steamed green beans and baby corn. The salad table had half a dozen different green or vegetable salads and a huge bowl of fresh fruit. The bread station was laden with croissants, muffins, and other breads, and the dessert table had all kinds of things from a big fresh fruit on crème patisserie tart to a tiramisu cake to a glazed lemon-lime cake.
