Slow food for a slow day

We woke up this morning to very wet and cold weather in the city. Not the best of days to be out, but since this is Sunday after all, and we have our usual brunch ritual to maintain, we dragged our asses to the neighborhood cafe for some hot grub. Unfortunately, the line outside Mission Beach was massive as usual, and parking was non-existent for the next 3 blocks around the Mission area. So we decided to head farther afield to try our luck.

Soon, we found ourselves around the Potrero Ave and Mariposa St junction, and walked into Slow Club just as the rain started to fall again. While waiting for our table, I searched for restaurant reviews online and found out they were famous for the turkey sausage hash. And that would be my meal this morning.

Slow Club's famous turkey sausage hash uses fresh organic ingredients from local producers - butternut squash, garnet yams, apples, yukon gold potatoes, caramelized onions, baby arugula, two poached eggs with cheddar cheese, and served with a side of fresh artisan grilled bread from Acme bakery. I've always had a soft spot for butternut squash and caramelized onions so this dish certainly hit the spot for me. I loved the poached eggs that oozed onto the hash as I dug my fork into it. The sweetness of the yam and onions combined with the yolk and turkey sausage to make a very tasty mouthful of organic orgasm. Definitely worth coming back for seconds, but I also miss the scrambles over at Mission Beach Cafe terribly and couldn't help thinking of next Sunday's brunch venue already.

Slow Club is at 2501 Mariposa St, San Francisco, CA94110, 415-241-9390
