Gospel Sunday Brunch
I've tried to get reservations for Hell's Kitchen's Annual Gospel Sunday Brunch Fundraiser before but never had any luck. This year with the restaurant moving to a larger venue we scored three seats in the main dining room so we could enjoy the choir while we ate (I'll get to the food in a minute).
Robert Robertson (the guy in brown sitting in front) sang an impromtu set of three numbers while the kinks in the sound system were being worked out. He is simply amazing! I would love to hear him in concert someday. Then the rest of the choir came on stage and they did not dissapoint. Each person who we heard featured on a number was fantastic!
Don't you just love that big angel at the back of the stage? The decor in this place would be worth stopping by to see even if you didn't want to eat the fabulous food.
As for the food, I'll post the descriptions from the menu of what each of us had.

Andrea:
*Shrimp & Crab Cake with Poached Egg - We use only the finest backfin lump crabmeat and chunks of cold-water shrimp, then top our crabcake with a poached egg and red bell pepper hollandaise sauce. Served with fresh, seasonal fruit, toast, and (as we do with all entrees that come with toast), a caddy of our homemade peanut butter, blood orange marmalade, and blackberry jam. $13.25
Me:
*Lemon-Ricotta Hotcakes - Three melt-in-your-mouth hotcakes made from freshly
grated lemon zest and whole milk ricotta cheese. Served with fresh berries and warm, pure maple syrup ---but please try your first bites without it! $10.50 (I skip the syrup and go right for their homemade jams with this meal)

Andrea amazingly also had room for a fresh blueberry/blackberry pie with ice cream.
We love the food here and today did not dissapoint. I did remember as I was driving home that I forgot to pick up a jar of their homemade peanut butter for Andrea. Yikes!!! I might have to make a special trip back there to make up for that little oversight. Oh, and the owenr, Mitch Omer was hanging around in the dining room and also had a little table out front where he was signing his just released cookbook.
