Chad and I were up fairly early for a Sunday to get an early start on a morning adventure. We had plans to head to tiny Delavan, Illinois to dine at The Harvest Cafe.
We arrived by 9 am and chose our seat at a cozy booth. Our waitress, who we later discovered shared our relatively rare last name, brought the menus and took our drink orders. I was overwhelmed by all the delicious menu selections - I wanted to try one of everything.
The concept of a Farm to Table restaurant is really appealing to me. Plus the entrées seemed to be steps ahead of the typical greasy spoon fare. Even in the dead of the Midwest winter, everything appeared to be fresh. So delicious!
Chad narrowed his choice down to biscuits with lamb sausage gravy with a side of pancakes.
For me, the decadent French Toast with homemade brioche topped whipped mascapone and a side of a homemade biscuit. (I had originally requested the homemade granola, yogurt and fruit as a side to my French Toast but the waitress informed me that the granola had not been made yet today.)
Our breakfast selections took some time but were well worth the wait! The photos of our main I snapped do not do our dishes justice but I am still a novice with our point and shoot camera. We both cleaned our plates but I became uncomfortably full about 3/4 of the way through but the French Toast and the biscuits tasted too delicious to quit. A bad habit, I know!
Following our fantastic breakfast at the Harvest Cafe, we drove the scenic route back home to Washington. A great way to start the day!
