As I mentioned in my last post, I went to a wedding in good old Boston last weekend. After a wonderful night spent celebrating the happy couple, I woke up feeling...well...not so great. Luckily, I was in walking distance of Central Square and the friend I was staying with mentioned that ZuZu's (best known here for hipster dance parties) now offered a pretty great weekend brunch. We lumbered on over to ZuZu's looking somewhat worse for wear, but I for one soon perked up after glancing at the menu: interesting ingredients (green tomatoes), unique vegetarian options (crispy tofu), fun twists on breakfast standards (thyme waffles)? I'm in!
I started out with some freshly squeezed OJ while my dining companions raved about their Bloody Marys.
Then it was on to The Kathy Bates: an oat waffle topped with fried green tomatoes (get it??), poached eggs, avocado, and their awesome Hollandaise. A menu item both clever and delicious? What more could I ask for? (answer: nothing.) While we waited for our food (an admittedly long time, but hey, it's Central Square) we quizzed each other with the Trivial Pursuit cards provided on the table.
Wait. This place combines brunch with punny names, great ingredients, and the opportunity to capitalize on my vast knowledge of useless trivia?
...
Why did I move back to CT?
But the best part was on Sunday when worlds collided and James accompanied me to ZuZu for brunch. Again.
Then, I may have gone to Flour's newish Cambridge location and may have gotten a basket of treats:
Maybe.
