Town in San Carlos

We came to Town in San Carlos today for brunch today mainly due to a 20% coupon that we got when we had our Valentine's Day's dinner here.  The food was great during Valentine's Day so it was a no brainer to come back here and brunch didn't disappoint either.  First thing to note about their brunch menu is that there's just too many tasty items to choose from - there's fried chicken and waffles, loco moco, crab cake benedict, ultimate breakfast sandwich, cookie dough waffles, etc.  I think you get the idea, there's just so much yummy food to choose from that it's difficult.  After much deliberation, our party decided on:

2 Fried Chicken and Waffles - these were delicious.  The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.  It came with a black pepper gravy although it wasn't needed as the chicken was already seasoned.  The waffles were malted waffles so they were very sweet.  Also came with a maple-brandy syrup and butter on the side which weren't needed either as the waffle was so good just as is.  I know all of you are now wondering what it looked like so here it is:

Crab cake benedict - this was the most expensive item we ordered.  Although I liked it, after trying the chicken and waffle I wasn't as excited about this anymore.  However, for what it's worth this is a good crab cake benedict:

JC's Loco Moco -this is their version of a Hawaiian favorite

Mac and cheese from the kid's menu:

We'll definitely come back to try brunch and dinner again.  Just looking at these pictures is making me hungry again!

Nick's on Main

Every so often we'll be posting a flashback on restaurants we've been to in the past.  Starting with Nick's on Main in Los Gatos which is where we went for our first wedding anniversary.  The most memorable dish of the night was something called "Trust the Chef".  Most of the reviewers on Yelp said it was a fried pork belly with a fried egg on top and for the night we went it was exactly that.  This thing was yummy!  Probably 10,000 calories but worth every one of them!  Don't tell me you don't want to try this:

Our other appetizer was also very good, a tuna tar tar tower:

Sadly, we don't remember what our entrees were because the appetizers were so overwhelmingly good.  We highly recommend this place.  For those of you wanting to try this place, here's where you can find Nick's on Main:
