Corn Roast and Clams

We couldn't get enough of Gilead Cafe this weekend. After the burger brunch, we spent the afternoon walking around town, killing time, until the corn roast started. Around 5 we headed back to sample some corn, clams and Ontario wine. The highlights — deep fried clams on fries with tartar sauce... and the peach crumble with enough whipped cream to make Herb Alpert jealous.

Gilead Café. It was all about the cheeseburger.

Saturday morning brunch catching up with Broccoli and Fusilli before they take off to Chicago next weekend. They turned us onto this special cheeseburger, which didn't disappoint in the least. This was the first time ever that I ate a burger with a tomato slice. Usually when I see those sad little whitish pink tomato slices, it makes me want to barf. But this tomato was calling out to me, so luscious and bright bright red. The crispy fries with apple cider mayo were the perfect friend to my cheeseburger. In fact, everyone at the table at cheeseburgers that morning! Good friends + good burgers = a very nice start to the weekend.

Summer Salad

I had to add this picture from our burger brunch. Yes the burger is wicked good, but the summer salad is the perfect accessory to any cheese burger. Nothing softens the guilt of eating a cheese burger like a delicious salad. It's all about the balance.

Sunday Brunch

After the rain finally stopped Sunday morning it was time to meet Manchego for brunch at the local – Gilead Café. There's nothing like coming off detox with a bowl of poutine and a glass of merlot. More pics after the jump.
