Holy Trinity In Berkeley

Café Fanny, Acme Bread, and Kermit Lynch, the legendary trio of Slow Food and sustainability in Berkeley. Breakfast here is always quite the experience.
Poached egg and prosciutto and Smoked Salmon with fresh cream cheese, capers, and pickled onions. Levain toast points from Acme Bakery next door.

The perfect café au lait.

My favorite part of breakfast: the brilliant yellow waterfall of yolk.

Baja Fish Tacos

Crunchy fish taco from a joint off Ashby in Berkeley. They were pretty large for a taco (about the size of my hand). I ordered 2 tacos and a cantelope agua fresca for $9, which is not bad for the Berk. The fish was quite crunchy, and though delicious on its own, a bit overdone for a taco. Tenderness is key! All in all, a pretty good taco for the Bay. Odd that it had rice in it though...
