My brother?s going on a one-month trip to the Philippines this month, so he?s been working a side gig on the weekends to earn some extra money before he goes. It?s at a thing called a pop-up, which is like a restaurant that takes over another restaurant for a short time. This one?s called Friends With Benedicts, and Connor Claire, El Hub and I went for brunch (complete with mimosas) Sunday morning.

It was delicious!
The pop-up is at Mykonos Greek Restaurant at 1431 Polk St. in San Francisco, easy walking distance from one of the cable car lines, and they?re open on Saturdays and Sundays.
Basically, in the pop-up idea, the pop-up crew ? the cooks, the wait staff, the kitchen helpers and the manager ? visit and temporarily take over the other restaurant for the day, so the parent restaurant (Mykonos Greek Restaurant, in this case) is closed. It?s just the pop-up that?s open.
FOOOOOOD!

Yummy, yummy, yummy

It was like visiting somebody?s house and them make great food for you, like classic breakfast/brunch dishes with scrambled eggs, eggs benedict, pancakes, etc., and some weekends they?ll do brunch specials with a twist, like an eggs benedict with beet-infused hollandaise sauce, or themed brunches (they did one based on old-school breakfast cereals, another one called That ?70s Brunch, and another one inspired by The Jungle Book), so they have fun with the idea, too. It?s not stuffy or formal.
