New
Brunch at Eureka! In Santa Barbara
Eureka!
In Santa Barbara, a favorite haunt for the Burger & Beer
crowd, located in Passe Nuevo Shopping Center is now serving
brunch, and I stopped by to check out the new menu. Wow! What
a fun surprise - the menu is loaded with great and imaginative
items from a perfect Avocado Toast to a simply decadent Fried
Chicken with corn bread. I can't wait to call friends and ask
them to 'do brunch' at Eureka!

The
Avocado Toast was loaded with fresh avocado, diced tomatoes,
watermelon radish, sliced perfectly cooked hard boiled eggs,
and covered with chimichurri sauce. This is a picture perfect
presented dish that comes with a fresh fruit side. The Fried
Chicken was finger lickin' good, and included jalapeno infused
maple glaze with bacon chips and butter on one of the best corn
bread I've tasted. It's a sinfully delicious way to enjoy a
Sunday!

Brunch
cocktails included a Bloody Mary that could have been lunch.
It comes in mild or hot and is filled with celery, fried bacon
strip, olives, and peppers. Just amazing in every way! The sparkling
Mimosa is served in a stemless flute. They both pair well with
an appetizer of chips and a sweet mango salsa. Yes, they do
serve a few divine desserts that will destroy anyone's diet,
but it's brunch, and they are happy to bring two spoons for
sharing.

I
was pleased to meet the new GM at Eureka! Santa Barbara Michael
Kennedy, as well as the outgoing GM John Cosgrove who will be
starting next week at Eureka! Seattle U Village. Eureka! has
great employees who really try to please. John Cosgrove shared
how excited he was to be going to the Seattle venue, but was
sad to leave beautiful Santa Barbara.
