In honor of tonight’s biweekly fried chicken night at Ad Hoc, I thought I’d share the amazing New Year’s Eve brunch Ad Hoc offered to close out 2007.
The menu was centered around one of my favorite foods—fried chicken and waffles—and it’s something I’ve always wanted Ad Hoc to offer as a regular meal. I don’t know if they’ll make it a New Year’s fixture, but I was just glad I had the opportunity to experience this glorious meal. Pictures of the full spread follow the menu, and I’ll let them speak for themselves.

I wish I had known about the meal–the pictures look so amazing, yet they probably still don’t do the meal justice. The fried chicken, the fingerling potato hash, the poached egg salad…I can’t handle it! How much was the meal? It looked like a TON of food.
By the way, Joseph: You DEFINITELY need to make it out to ad hoc. It is out of the way, but totally, completely, 100 percent worth it.
The price of brunch was the same as dinner…but it was a lot more food. On New Year’s Eve it was still $45/pp. (It’s $48/pp now.)
