All-Star Brunch - Philadelphia, PA
My friends and I had an all-star brunch in Philly. And my that, I mean we tried about 10 different things and every single item was on the A-list. No. Joke.

At Footprints Cafe in Brooklyn, NY, rasta pasta is their specialty. You can order Rasta pasta with jerk (as photo'd above), curried, stewed or grilled chicken, chicken tenders, shrimp or beef... or another one of my favorites - BRAISE
