It's the reason why there are IHOP's and Denny's on this blue planet. The concept that you can eat breakfast any time of day - and in these two cases, feel the obligation to binge eat - is exciting.
Nathan was celebrating the success of two offers, one from Stanford the other from Ogilvy PR. We chose french toast, strawberries, bacon and fresh whipped cream. My shoulder ached shortly after my fifth piece of toast. I shrugged it off to swimming. Although I had an inkling it was congestive heart failure.
It would have been worth it, had it been.
Breakfast for dinner is phenomenal, and punctuated with freshness in California. Access to the finest organic fruit makes it all the better and sweeter, of course.

Napa
Best New World wines. Snob haven. Gorgeous weather.
All the Napa Valley stereotypes are true. So is it worth the hour drive from San Francisco to wine country? Absolutely.
Being the microclimate with some of California's best weather, you can be foggy and 50 in SF while the sun's baking the vines in Napa Valley, only 40 miles northeast of the City.
A few friends from work gave us the insider's tour Saturday. They shared their favorite, and some new, stops along the back road that snakes through Napa. We went a bit off the beaten path, which I loved, and Vincent Arroyo, most notably the best winery during our full-day excursion, was terrific. Cabernet and petite syrah were out of this world. We bought a bottle of "Nameless."
We will be back. And if you come and visit, we too will give you the insider's tour.
