First Taste: Son's Addition delivers brunch to your picnic blanket at Dolores Park
03 August 2020
Remember the old days of meeting up for brunch, where you could clink bottomless mimosas with your squad and chow down on fat burgers to sop up last night's liquor (and regrets)? Going out to the bars may now be a distant memory, but there's no reason you can't still enjoy a solid weekend brunch.
Better yet, combo said midday meal and drinks with our other favorite weekend pastime: lounging in Dolores Park, in a socially distanced circle, of course. Nearby Cal-American restaurant Son's Addition will bring the picnic to you.
Opened back in 2017 by couple Nick and Anna Cobarruvias—he's the chef (Marlowe), she's front of house (Maverick)—the Mission neighborhood eatery has become known for creative dishes that manage to feel a little fancy but totally approachable. And that's exactly what we want at brunch, right?

Salty-and-sweet is our favorite category at brunch. You won't want to share this perfectly crisp malted waffle with fried chicken, whipped satsuma butter, and syrup.

Other brunch burgers beware, Son's Addition is bringing it with melted white cheddar, a sweet bacon-onion marmalade, crisp iceberg lettuce, and charred scallion aioli. Oh, and hand-cut fries, hello.

Balance out the beef and fried stuff with the kale and arugula salad topped with red onion, peas, feta cheese, fennel, and fresh herbs.

Son's Addition's taco kits easily feed four with barbacoa (or sweet potato for the vegetarians), house-ground tortillas, and all the toppings—rice, charro beans, chopped onions, cilantro, guacamole, and two kings of salsa.

Top it all off with dark chocolate and sea salt cookies.
