Date - Brunch at Current

Bloody Mary and The Antoinette

Oh brunch, how we love you.  Delicious breakfast foods and not being frowned upon when we have a cocktail at 11:30 in the morning (not any earlier because of those Utah laws).  This time we went over to try Current's brunch menu.  We've been to Current and Under Current several times but this was the first time having brunch there.  It is so nice to see a brunch menu that offers different "brunch cocktails."  What makes a brunch cocktail different from any other cocktail?  Who knows? but it's nice to have an option if front of you besides a Bloody Mary or a Mimosa.

Som, who is on a quest to determine the best Bloody Mary in Salt Lake City ordered a Bloody Mary.  It was good. Maybe in the top three in the city?

Sothea ordered the Antoinete which had vodka, elderflower, grapefruit, lime, rhubarb bitters and sparkling wine.  How pretty is it?!?!  It's one of those drinks that you just want to stare at because it looks so nice and it actually taste as good as it looks.

Buttermilk Fried Chicken

On a different quest, Som likes to try all the chicken and waffles as well.  Now that we had learned to make our own delicious chicken and waffles, any chicken and waffles is compared to that and of course the chicken and waffles at Provision.  This one was equally as good as our own and Provisions.

Hangtown Fry

Sothea ordered the Hangtown Fry.  It is fried oysters, scrambled eggs, mushrooms, bacon on sourdough.  It was good but not something that she would order again for brunch.  It just didn't seem to come together.  Everything on it's own tasted great but it felt like nothing was unifying the dish.

Decor, ambiance, and service are all great at Current.  It's a must try for brunch especially for their cocktails.  Som also ordered the Belafonte which had bourbon, velvet falernum, spiced syrup and lemon.  It's very nice on cold days.
