Brown Sugar Kitchen
One of my favorite places to go in the San Francisco Bay Area for breakfast is Brown Sugar Kitchen. My most recent visit was for breakfast on 1/14/2012 with my wife and some friends. We got to BSK around 8:30am which was reasonable for a typical Saturday morning, but a little later than some of our previous visits. We put our names in and awaited a table, and for our friends to arrive. BSK is one of those establishments that will only seat your party if everybody is present which worked out great for us as we waited. We were seated after a short 15 minute wait.
Our friends were having breakfast for the first time at Brown Sugar Kitchen. As such, we decided to get an order of their freshly-made beignets as a starter. The beignets did not disappoint. It’s incredible how the fried goodness with powdered sugar tastes so light and airy.

Why do I love Brown Sugar Kitchen so much? In my opinion, their fried chicken and waffles dish is amazing! I would probably even go as far as to say it is the best one in the Bay Area. Some Bay Area folks rave about a similar dish at 900 Grayson but, after doing a taste test tour one weekend of both establishments, my preference is Brown Sugar Kitchen.
For breakfast, three quarters of our table chose to have BSK’s most popular dish – buttermilk fried chicken and cornmeal waffles, with brown sugar butter and apple cider syrup. Once again, the food did not disappoint once we were served. The fried chicken was moist and I could not get enough of the delectable goodness atop buttered waffle pieces drizzled with syrup.

What can I say but yet another great breakfast at Brown Sugar Kitchen – a perfect way to start off a weekend in the Bay Area. Like many other ambrosial breakfast eateries, you’ll want to get there earlier to avoid the longer wait times.
