This post sets me on the path to a personal goal: visiting Fenton at least once per season to experience the variety of their produce-centred menu! We were there last winter and late summer, and here we are firmly in autumn.
It seems the chilli scrambled eggs ($25) are evergreen, which suits Michael well. The standard version featured chorizo, but the vegetarian adaptation included a welcome slab of haloumi, generous house-made hot sauce, pickled chilli and crispy fried shallots.
The sweet breakfast of the day was more distinctly autumnal, cinnamon apple French toast ($24). The single, thick toast was drenched in dolce de leche, piled with popcorn and scattered with pecan crumble. I was initially disappointed with the lack of apple, but actually there was plenty lying low under the popcorn and vanilla whip. This is a plate big on comfort, but also playful with textures.
While the dishes change, the excellence remains - can't wait for the next round!
