Patrick Sullivan’s Brunch

I have been sick and all I think about today is having a good brunch…
Here is the very good one!!!

今週は病気で病人食ばかり食べていたのでおいしいブランチが恋しい…
ブランチと言えば!

Patrick Sullivan’s

It is in the old city, the corner of Central and Jackson. Building is so charming so I am sure you can spot it easily.

パトリックサリヴァンはオールドシティー、セントラルとジャクソンの角にある。建物はアメリカの古い時代の物なのですぐに見つかるはず。



I think it is very reasonable price for the brunch (under $10) and the great thing is that you get complementally sparkling wine with the order of brunch!!!

値段はお買い得、$10以内で食べられる。更にブランチメニューを頼むとスパークリングワインが1杯付いてくる!



When you get into the restaurant, you never guess they can make poached eggs :) Also, the service is a little slow.

中に入ると完璧なバーのようでまさかポーチエッグが料理できるようなレストランには見えない。サービスはかなり遅いので注意。



I also LOVE potatoes and theirs were so good!
ポテト好きな私。ここのはハーブで味付けでおいしい!



I never been to the lunch or dinner time, so that is my another mission.
ランチとディナーはまだ来たことないので次のお楽しみ!

For the brunch

Downtown Grill & Brewery

Downtown Grill and Brewery is on Gay Street in Downtown Knoxville. I was there for the brunch one day and discovered that when you order from brunch menu, you get mimosa for 25 cents!!! The mimosa in the picture was my 3rd one :)

ダウンタウングリルアンドブリューアリーはゲイストリート沿いにあります。
たまたま日曜日に寄ったら、なんと、ブランチのメニューを頼むとミモサが25セントになると言うことを発見! 写真のミモサは3杯目



They also have food and drink happy hours!!! Check it out
夜もここは飲み物、食べ物、両方お買い得なハッピーアワーがある。 お試しを

The Crown and Goose


The Crown and Goose
is an English Pub in the Old City in Knoxville.

クラウンアンドグースはノックスビルのオールドシティーにあるイギリスにあるようなパブ

This is the Thursday special and it was only $5
Volume is small, but way tastier than fast food!

こちらは木曜日のランチスペシャル。たったの$5
量はかなり少なめだけどだんぜんおいしい!





The fish and chips is usually $14 and looks like the picture. Chips are (French fries) in the newspaper. You judge. Tastes very good, but price is not so handsome to me.

イングリッシュパブと言えばフィッシュアンドチップス(写真)。ここのは普通$14。
おいしいけどお値段が…??? 月曜日に行くべき??? 



Their dessert sampler used to look. It was good deal, but last time I ordered, it had only 3 things…

開店当初のデザートサンプラー。この前オーダーしたら3種類しか出てこなかった。甘いけど結構おいしい。みんなで分けるのが良いでしょう

Good mexican - Bearden

So far this is the best taco place in Knoxville. Only problem is I don't know when he shows up...

ここのタコスとタマレは1番のお気に入り。でもいつやって来るか不明。



This one is at a gas station on Sutherland Avenue. Once the cook told me that the name of the track/restaurant is "Mariachi" (I don't know the spell though...) The cook is a happy guy, but I don't wanna even know what's going on in the back kitchen...

サザーランドアベニューのガソリンスタンドにやってくるトラックで来る屋台/スタンド。「マリアチ」と言うらしい。気前の良い人だけどキッチン内は???微妙。あまり中は見ないように :)



BBQ pork and beef. Delishi! / ブタのバーべキューと牛肉 おいしい!



Vegetable tamales were unexpectedly great too! His original.
野菜のタマレ。結構おいしい!



Total $6!!! 全部で約6ドル お買い得!
