What more appropriate way to close out the year than by feasting on Ad Hoc’s second annual New Year’s Eve brunch. Last year’s was a glutton’s paradise, but it was also Ad Hoc’s first time offering brunch.
Ad Hoc started regular Sunday brunches on March 23, streamlining the meal into a smaller three-course affair that easily competes with their dinners. I think it’s a great way to introduce people to the restaurant, and if you haven’t had brunch at Ad Hoc, there’s always 2009! Here’s the menu:
NEW YEAR’S EVE BRUNCH
Red Leaf and Radish Salad
red oak lettuce, smoked tuna, red pepper dressing
~
Liberty Farms Duck Confit and Sourdough Waffles
chilled broccolini, crimini mushrooms,
poached hen egg
~
Baked Apples
shortbread cookies, raspberry whipped cream
I forgot my camera, so I had to use my iPhone’s janky camera, but it’s not so bad when there’s a lot of natural light. Still, you can’t go wrong by closing out the year with duck confit and waffles!
Happy New Year and Good Eating in 2009!

Hey, all in all I’d say the pictures came out very well. Looks like a very nice New Year’s Eve Brunch. It slightly beats out the In and Out Double Double (animal style) that I had. Once in a while I just crave these sodium laced burgers and just have to have one. Blood pressure be damned.
Happy New Year! Keep the great blog posts coming.
@Paul: I would never hate on a Double Double. It’s the best fast food burger there is. :-)
What a delicious looking menu. I love anything with duck confit!
