Asian-influenced Californian brunch with famous "Millionaire's Bacon."
"The Deal: $23 per person for 60 minutes of unlimited mimosas. Mimosas await at this cute corner spot in the Castro (once you get past the inevitable line). The hearty deep-fried, mascarpone stuffed french toast is wonderful, or if you’d prefer a lighter brunch, the sandwiches and benedicts will also do you right." - ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1, lani conway
"Kitchen Story in the Castro is one of the best spots in the city for weekend bottomless brunch. We’re not sure what makes the brown sugar, pepper, and cayenne dusted bacon “millionaire’s bacon,” but we’re glad we don’t have to be an actual millionaire to eat it. Go with friends, sit outside, and drink eight to 10 mimosas if you want to." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"That line on the corner of 16th and Sanchez Street every weekend is for one thing: brunch. And the sugary bacon. And the mascarpone-stuffed french toast. And the mimosas. If you want to start your day with a big group hang, this casual spot is it—there are a ton of seats out on the street patio and sidewalk. Also know that other people have the same idea, and is why this place is a zoo on Saturdays and Sundays." - lani conway, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
"This Rockridge restaurant serves brunch every day. The menu aims to offer something for everyone, from pancakes and Benedicts to morning fare with Korean and other international influences: omurice, morning tacos with kalbi, and Korean fried chicken and waffles." - Dianne de Guzman
"Yes, the food at this Asian-leaning brunch spot is prime content for your social feed, but it's also punchy. Like the original SF outpost, decadent dishes are portioned for a herd of bison, and just really damn good. You’ll find deep-fried, mascarpone-filled french toast topped with rich honey butter, a face-sized galbi omurice covered in velvety demi-glace, and a spicy Bloody Mary garnished with a candied bacon slab and more vegetables than Alice Waters’s garden. For a place where the food goes maximalist, the dining room is demure—it looks like a breakfast nook with dark wood accents and checkerboard floors—and isn’t as loud or chaotic as its sister location." - julia chen 1, lani conway
