Address: 225 26th St, Brentwood, CA 90402
Items Ordered:
- Farm egg salad w/ mixed greens, beets, and brioche toast
- Frittata w/ mushrooms, onion confit, and frisee
- Granola w/ Straus family creamery yogurt
Living on the outskirts of Brentwood inspires me to dream of richness and dine at fancy restaurants. Farmshop was one of the fancy restaurants on my Brentwood to-eat list (the other one is Tavern), and I thought I'd bring some of my Houston visitors along. I thought my egg salad was masterfully prepared, and the butter lettuce in my mixed greens salad was refreshing. The frittata tasted healthy, and the granola homemade. Nothing was too salty or fatty, and I told myself that if I were a celebrity I would eat here whenever I wasn't drinking my lemon/cayenne pepper juice cleanse in preparation for the Oscars. However, my Houston friends are much less delusional than I am, and promptly after this meal, they asked "Where are we really going to eat for lunch now?" So while I had a nice snack at Farmshop and would probably return to try the acclaimed fried chicken one day, the winning meal of my day was really the fatty and rich Daikokuya tonkatsu ramen that came after this lunch. Who says you can't have the best of both worlds?
