St. Burch Tavern, Iowa City, IA - Part II, Dinner

As I was heading back to Omaha recently, I decided to break up the drive by stopping in Iowa City for the night. And high on my list of dinner spots was going back to St. Burch to try something of the evening menu. Am I glad I did...

... beer after driving?! Yes, please.

Coming out of Cedar Rapids, IA - the Lion bridge Work Comp was very very good. Starting off strong, St. B!


Then onto the main menu... Me hungy! PS - who doesn't love the font and vibe of this menu!?

As it was rainy, windy and cold out, I wanted something filling, healthy-ish, and eaten with a fork & knife (aka, fancy). What would you have gotten?...


I also had my eye on a dessert...

I went with the Salmon & a side salad - it was all very good. Can't find a fault in anything.


And how could I say no to a banana split?! It was only $1 more than the other dessert items, so I "splurged". Like the main, this was very good as well. It wasn't three-feet of split either, just a simple banana and a couple scoops of ice cream. Dare I say "dainty"?

As I've said before, if you're inthe area, stop at this place, it's that good. I haven't even tried their fresh seafood on offer, like mussels, clams, crab, etc. They even do the ole "seafood tower". Fun.

Sunday Marin Civic Center Farmers’ Market, San Rafael, CA


How could I stay away from the State of California's 3rd largest farmers' Market? I can't. And why would I want to? Sure, it was a little rainy out, but the food, the people watching, the community, and the FOOD.





Breakfast needed to be sourced, and it was hard... to decide which amazing offering I wanted in my belly! It turned into Deli vs. Pork?!


Pork won (and deli was out of salmon anyways... I know, it's rough)...


I added a local coffee purveyor too...

They also do something special for local chefs - they have carts available for them to handle their daily shopping, which I thought was genius.


If you can't tell, I am sold on this market. If you're anywhere near on a Sunday morning, I would very much recommend.
