Weekend Brunch Recommend - Bottega Louie


Have you ever payed ten dollars for a single ravioli? Okay, now let me ask you if you've ever experienced a poached egg oozing from a ravioli? Egg yolk, mingling with ricotta cheese in a puddle of brown butter and sage. Just sayin'. Ready to part with the ten smackeroos yet?

How 'bout now? 'Nuff said...

I know, I know, it's another post about Bottega Louie and you probably think they are my sponsors at this point but I swear - it's out of sheer love for this place that I blog about it and I've never so much as received a free macaron for my efforts. I'm sorry but I am really just looking out for your best interest - how else would you hear about the stellar new breakfast menu? So glad they've upped the ante on what was once a somewhat lackluster breakfast selection... But that doesn't mean you're off the hook for this:



It just wouldn't be a trip to Bottega without the requisite pizza. Won't stop until I've stuffed myself like a ravioli! It's LA's best pizza and don't leave without having tried it. Doesn't matter what time of day it is... 



Course, once you've stuffed yourself like a ravioli there is little space left in your appetite for goodies like these... When I meet up with Jill from Those Ghosts  later I think our strategy should be to eat our way around the goodies in the cafe... You know, ease her into her first visit (Who am I kidding? I've been a very naughty girl with food this week and I don't think my thighs - or arteries - could take on another pizza... and have you seen Jill's thighs? Amazeballs.)



So yeah, I think we'll stalk the desserts, breads and other confections for a while, hover, make our selection, and then swoop in like vultures!




This could be you! Happily stuffing an eclaire into your gob... Like my sister last week, post pizza/ravioli pig-out party! I said there was "little" space for treats after brunchy - not ZERO space!

Check out Jill's account of our lunch together  on Those Ghosts - there was drama like I've never witnessed before!
Tell me what you are up to this weekend my friends...

oh the food makes me so hungry! Thanks so much for the sweet comment ;] I actually have learned to not care about styling my hair since it's so thick and weighs any style down lol.
