breakfast club: table 219

breakfast club met today at table 219 up on capital hill. i've been once for dinner and i had a good experience so when brooke suggested it, i was all in. i ordered the maple glazed pork belly dish with corn and mozzarella pancake with scallion eggs. yes, this is what i ate for brunch. i was really excited for the pork belly mostly because it brought me back to the pork belly that i had during restaurant week at crush. i knew i shouldn't have set my expectations that high but i did was let down...naturally.

the pork wasn't bad...i just didn't expect a log to show up on my dish. it was also hard to cut into and got all stringy. the corn and mozzarella pancake was great though i felt like they needed to add a little more syrup or something because it was a little dry. the eggs were good, but it's kind of hard to screw up scrambled eggs with green onions. i think i got a little too adventurous for brunch. i probably should've stuck to my fall back: eggs benedict! oh well. next time.
