Brown Sugar Oakland, CA
• A Creative Soul Food breakfast joint so good that your old-school grandmother and your hipster cousin from LA can come together and love every minute of it. A bonus is also the fact that you won’t feel greasy or smell like the fryer when you leave. The décor is very modern and has an updated tasteful diner feeling with a brown sugar color palette all around you.
Brown Sugar offers such specialties as Cornmeal Waffles and Fried Chicken, Pulled Pork Sandwich with Lime Slaw, Black-Eyed Pea Salad, Roast Pork Hash, and the Mac & Cheese. You WILL wait in line to get a table at Brown Sugar because it is that popular even though it sits nearly by itself (at this point … hint, hint) in West Oakland. You can watch the chef, Tanya Holland, prepare your food with precision alongside her other cooks in the kitchen. I look forward to seeing the cook/chef who sports a green mohawk rockin’ out on the cooking channel with his own punk-rock palate show.
