MC Kitchen Brunch: Breakfast Pizza and Tommy Pickles

Ribollita Tuscan bread soup ($8) is a hearty starter, filled with vegetables, buttery croutons, and white beans.

The sunny side up farm egg pizza ($12), made in Marino's wood-burning oven, smiles at you when served. Topped with Eden Farms' bacon, broccoli raab, and caramelized onion, and two sunny side eggs, it's rich, satisfying, and enough for two.

I'm a sucker for oven baked eggs, and these were decadent and rich. Served in a crock, the eggs are served over a brioche with spicy sausage and fontina bechamel ($12).

Though there was a tempting list of meal-ending sweets, I had something else on my mind, as I pulled off Tommy Pickle's strainer and dug into the savory mixture for dessert. As I finished the last crunchy remnant, I wondered what was the protocol to follow when obsessed with a cocktail... How many days do I have to wait before I call on Tommy Pickles, again? I'm thinking 48 hours -- tops.
