"Wow, this burrito is delicious, but it is filling." Ron Burgundy

This past Saturday was absolutely beautiful out, and B and I hadn't really seen eat other much due to my work schedule, so we spent a nice day tooling around Old City and Northern Liberties.  After a run over the Ben Franklin, we stopped in for brunch at Honey's Sit 'N Eat.  You are guaranteed at least a half an hour wait to enjoy Honey's down-home, and in many instances Jewish-inspired, brunch classics, but you will not leave disappointed.

B opted for the breakfast burrito.

Unlike many breakfast burritos around Philly, it was a manageable size and focused on the important stuff - eggs, beans, fresh corn, cheese - without a lot of meddlesome filler foods (i.e. potato chunks).  I personally don't often go for burritos (breakfast or otherwise), but because they are one of B's go-to menu choices I have tried fair share.  That being said I feel equipped to say that Honey's does a great job.

I stayed classic, ordering scrambled eggs with American cheese, grits, and a biscuit (my college roommate JEM used to call this combo my typical breakfast - she was midwestern so I think I might have been the first person in her life to order grits on the regular). 

It is so difficult to find a good order of grits up North, so whenever I see them on a menu the Southerner in me takes over and the grits essentially drive the rest of my meal.  Although simple, my food was just perfect.

After brunch I dropped B off at a coffee house in Northern Liberties so he could get some studying done. When we met back up later that evening, we headed to Dos Segundos for dinner and drinks. Although my camera freaked and somehow all of my photos from dinner were deleted, I can report that B had yet another burrito, goat rather than breakfast this time around, and unlike the reasonably-portioned burrito at Honey's, Dos Segundo's was the size of my head. I turned down B's offers for a taste, something about the goat just grosses me out, but he had nothing but rave reviews (although he was only able to make it about 3/4 of the way through the monstrosity before calling it quits). I had the scallop taco special, which was absolutely delicious. The scallops were marinated in a nicely spicy chile sauce and accompanied by a simple garnish of sweet corn, scallions, and a chile "jam" of sorts.

While our meals were great, the highlight of the night was that Dos Segundos has, without a doubt, the best white wine sangria that I have ever had. It wasn't too sweet, had a wonderful cinnamon undertone, and incorporated just the right amount of fresh fruit to allow a nibble or two without cheating you out of a full glass of sangria. If you are a sangria fan in the least I insist you try it immediately.
