 Hey friends, I'm at the Contemporary Resort and today I'm gonna be having brunch at the California Grill. Isn't that swell? Did I just say swell? I'm very excited. A couple of friends invited me out. They invited Yip too but Yip's got work so she couldn't tag along on this one but she did tell me to go and she told me to make sure I dress fancy because it's a very nice restaurant. So I broke the bowler hat out just to doll up my appearance a little bit. Anyways, I'm very excited. It's gonna be great and I cannot wait. Let's go do this. And here we go. Hello. Hi. Hi. All right, let's head on up. In the Monterey Real House. Yeah, fancy, fancy, fancy. Oh, and by the way, here's all the friends. Again. Morning. And Paige. Nice to meet you too. Hats off up here. That's right. Hats off. And as soon as you get off the elevator, you are greeted with, is that a mimosa? Yeah, from the boba balls. A mimosa with boba balls? That is a greeting, I guess. Hey, the great, here you go. Oh, well, thank you. Right this way. Yeah, we need a noise. And this is Mo. Hi, Mo. I'm missing your ring today. Oh, yes. She's talking about you, Yip. Cool. Thank you. Yes, very good. There you go. So is a mimosa a mimosa without the orange juice? No. Yeah, that's the champagne with the boba. Oh, so the champagne has now become a mimosa. Yes, it has. Oh, that's way too much orange juice. Oh, yes. We just got to have a little bit for color. That's what it dropped in. There you go. I don't want you making any drinks for me. Oh boy. Look at that. Mickey butter. Also, if you see this confetti on the table, this isn't normal. This is just because of Mo loving you guys. Yep, anniversary right there. Fancy. 10 years, right? 10 years. Thank you for the 10-year anniversary. Fantastic. A couple of things you need to know about brunch at the California Grills. And number one is at the California Grill. That just says it all right there. What an amazing view. Number two, it is $80 a person and $48 for children. And it is all you care to enjoy. Mimosas, all you care to enjoy food and all you care to enjoy Bloody Marys at an additional cost. We're going to go over some of the food sections. But for start, they do have a self-service section. And we're going to go over all those different self-service sections that actually lined up all alongside the kitchen area. But also, you have to choose an entree. And this is all included in the $80 price. Chicken and waffles, buttermilk pancakes, eggs Benedict. And from what I hear, this is also endless. So if you want a chicken and waffles and the buttermilk pancakes, you can do that. It's pretty awesome. So we're going to go over the self-serving selections, and then we're going to actually order some things from the entree selection. I'm very excited. Here is a look at the bread area, gluten-free scones, guava turnover, chocolate croissants, multigrain croissants, and cheddar biscuits. Wow. That is phenomenal. Also some oranges. Also, they have a California grilled bourbon baba station. Oh yeah. That sounds really good. I do like baba. Here you go. It's delicious. Yes. If you were the best way to describe what baba is in one word, what would you say? Can I use a hyphen? Can I use a hyphen? Yes. Dense sponge cake. Dense sponge cake. I'm glad you didn't use the other word. But don't they look amazing? I'll take one. Sure. Absolutely. I mean, I'm here right now. All right. Look at that. Amazing. Example it. Absolutely. Here you go. Fantastic. Look at that. I mentioned before the Bloody Mary bar. This is actually an additional price. It's $17. Endless amounts of Bloody Mary. You can choose absolute pepper, kettle one, Belvedere, and you basically get to add any ingredients that you want to. That's pretty awesome. Olives, salami, carrots, shrimp. There's so many. They also have a charcuterie air station. Look at that. St. Pete's Blue Pork and Bacon Sausage. Wow. Prosciutto. There's so many. Oh man. Look at all the cheese. Doesn't this look amazing? Also some pretty interesting sauces over here. Sweet pickle chips, red onion marmalade, wow. Assorted sushi, California rolls, crab meat, salmon. Look at all of this. There is so much to document here. It really is a lot to take in. Look at that shrimp tempura. Ah, very good. And then also they have salads and deviled eggs. Rice noodle salad, peach salad, bacon and egg salad. Fancy. And then of course the deviled eggs. And I still have my baba. That's what I went for is the baba. Oh, they have a smoked salmon station with some Greek yogurt. A sort of bagels and fresh fruit. You agree, right? It's very good. It's very nice. I love it. Wow. I didn't dive into any of the self-service selections except for the baba. I don't know why I was just immediately drawn to it. I was like, I gotta try this immediately. I will go back up and get some stuff and then we'll go from there. Wow. That's right. Amazing. That is amazing. Empty plate. We're gonna go chocolate croissant. Then we're gonna go for some beef sausage. Oh yes. Beef sausage and chocolate croissant that goes well. I thought about getting some sushi but I might wait because I just had that baba and I got this chocolate croissant and this sausage and I don't think sushi is gonna mix with that very well. But maybe I'll come back. Lars came up with his kind of own sandwich. Yeah, it's a breakfast. So it's the prosciutto from the chocowery up there. And I also put on a little bit of the cheese on top and I take the generous, get cut in half and I make a prosciutto breakfast sandwich out of it. Delicious. Delicious. Amazing. Wow. That's right. You bite into that. We were just talking about how these mimosa's are very easy going down and unlimited boba balls. Fancy. Oh yeah. Yes. Now it is. A mimosa. Thank you for the correction. So wait, is that the second bottle for the table? Yes. Yep, yep. Very nice. Honestly, we were just like sitting down enjoying mimosa's, enjoying actually all of the self-serving sections. We didn't even order any food yet. It's just been really cool, really relaxed and chilled. Very cool environment. I went up for more sausage because the sausage is actually unbelievable. And it's house made. I asked. That's the third bottle. Wow. That's just how we do. That's how we do. It's going down. I mean, it's healthy. There's worse shoes in it, so I mean. Yeah, but us three aren't drinking. No, I'm only kidding. While you're enjoying your breakfast or brunch, you also get a little bit of music. Right now they're covering muwana. I heard them cover duck tails, grim grinning ghost, grim grinning ghost. Yes. Beautiful. Very cool setting. We just ordered our entrees. I did get chicken waffles and one other one. You can order a full entrees. You can order as many entrees as you want. That's what they told me, but you can also order half entrees to sample, which is pretty interesting. And they're playing grim grinning ghosts. Thank you gentlemen. Just to give you a sound. Lars is coming over because we're gonna get a group photo. Yes. Oh, I need, yeah, hold this in my hand. Yeah, I'm like, everyone needs to get a glass in their hand. My chicken and waffle has arrived. Look at this. Wow, this has blood orange syrup and I think it's chicken sausage gravy. I'm not sure, but look at that. Those are lamb meatballs in there. There's the chakchuka. I said that with his help. Yes, you got it right. You nailed it. And look at that. Lamb meatballs and oh man, I see the egg right in the middle there. Shrimp and grits. I'm feeling a little upset. I didn't get that shrimp and grits because that looks phenomenal. Wow. And then they got French toast. We got blueberries, pancakes. Oh my God, that's a lot of blueberries. Lobster eggs, Benedict. And lobster eggs, Benedict. Wow. This looks phenomenal. It's safe to say that this is the best chicken dish I've ever had. Really? Wow. Wow. Oh my Lord, the California Girl's Stack is growing. You know what? I was thinking about it like stocking up so that I can like wash my hands and I don't know, it just feels good. Wow. I lost it again, but that is now the fourth fourth bottle of champagne. Thank you, Mo. I'm counting. Chakchui. Chakchuka. Wait, chakchuka is a hit of Mickey. Like a hit of Mickey. So it's kind of stewed tomatoes with different spices. Okay. Lamb meatballs and feta cheese, fresh made pita and the idea is you just kind of rip and dip. Rip and dip. It's a great sharing. Mo, that is amazing. Thank you. Enjoy. It's really good. I'm ready. The chicken and waffles was phenomenal. We're going for five bottles. I don't know if we're making five bottles. Really good. We got to get one more pop. One more pop. Because I missed the last two, actually. So chakchua. Chakchuka. That needs your help on that one again. Chakchuka. I'm ready to try this. Good job. Oh boy. Does he like it? Does he like it? It tastes like a meatball hoogie. Like fancy though with lamb and an egg. Yeah. Wow. So shrimp and grits. I think it's phenomenal. Honestly, I don't like grits, but that grits was good. Chicken and waffles. I'm asking for another plate. I am. Go for it. Go for it. And this, you guys, nobody's tried it. Well, you guys all had it before, haven't you? Yeah. It's really good. It is good. Meatball hoogie with egg. And lamb. Lamb. And lamb meatball. It's very good though. Very good. I don't want to be about yourself, so I'll eat some here. Go ahead. Please do. Please do. Thank you. Lars is going in. I'm going in. I'm just going to go big like scoop. Oh wow. He really scooped that. Yes. Yes. We kept one seat open for you. Yep. Even though you weren't here. Yeah. Well, poor. Oh, that is the fifth. I said five bottles. Look at that. Wow. So much good food. Amazing experiences. Champagne. Veronica's here. Hi, you pal. Hi, you pal. Wow. That's the last of the fifth bottle. Yes. And all those glasses full also. Wow. So the boss is here. So service is excellent. Yep. I get it. But no, seriously, Moe is fantastic, isn't she? Yes, Moe is fantastic. She's not even here. I'm spinning the camera around, so you know, we're not just saying that. Yes. Yes. The entrees have been cleared and what is this? Moe is going to explain what the dessert pedestal is. The best server ever. Yes. I will explain to you. I will explain to you. Okay. So the cookies are fig and cardamom cookies. The little cakes are financier cakes. They have a little lemon flavor to them, but there's raspberries and blueberries in them. For your mackerels. We have green tea, chocolate, raspberry, salted caramel, and vanilla. The dark chocolate bar is topped with dried apricots, dried cherries, tapis, sea salt, and a little bit of almonds. And then for your truffles, the long red one is a mango and passion fruit, the white dome is a coconut, the long spotted dark one is a salted caramel, the green is a mint green tea, and the blue dome is a blueberry. Wow, guys. Enjoy. And once again, happy anniversary. Oh, thank you. Wow. We're not worthy. We're not worthy. We're not worthy. I think we're going to go with this one. Fiancée. Very fancy. We're going to check this out. It's good. It's good. It's good. Wow. So which one is not good? Well, that's a tough call. They're all so good in their different ways. So everything is great. Yes. These are great for breakfast. Like, I don't eat these now. I save them for breakfast. Well, that's dates though in the middle, right? Yeah, exactly. It's so good. It's a date in Cardamom? Date in Cardamom. Yeah. No big, big in Cardamom. Yeah. Yeah. Because that's fancy for breakfast. Fancy dates. Fancy dates for breakfast. We're going to try one of these vanilla macaroons. Oh, look how it broke already. Is that six? Wow. Six bottles of champagne. Five people. Starting with six went down to five. True. Wow. So when it comes to desserts, the macaroons are always good. I mean, you can't go wrong with macaroons. But the raspberry is way better than that blueberry one. Really? I think so. I thought the raspberry was very flat. You thought the raspberry flat? I thought the raspberry was very flat, the blueberry was much sweeter. Cool. But then again, I like sweet versus savory. Oh, so there you have it. Raspberry is savory? Wait. Yes. Raspberry is savory, blueberry is sweeter. Right. There we go. Makes sense. And this is a breakfast date. Breakfast date. Wow. Almost like a nuisance with frosting. I still got to try it. I guess I'm going for the last one. Coconut. What is this? Coconut? Something cool. Something cool with sprinkles. Yeah, exactly. Do it, Nick. You got this. I believe in you. I'll take it. The end of bottle six. Bottle six. Bottle six. Whoa. Cheers to bottle six. And I think everybody left. They're coming in the way. Really good at clearing up. Yes. Just to let you know, we've actually been sitting here for almost four hours. Four hours. This is number six. Six bottles of champagne. Not to mention the bottle that we walked in with. Oh, that's right. I forgot about the bottle that we used to drink for the first time around. Oh my gosh, it's seven bottles of wine. Cheers, y'all. Oh my lord, that is so worth it. That's amazing. Exactly. Worth it. Cheers. Cheers. Is this eight? No, because the original one. The OG. Yeah, the OG. Eight bottles of champagne. And the mimosas have definitely had. Oh, I love it. Yes. No for you. No for you, boss. Fill one up for the boss. Oh, yeah, the boss needs one. The boss has had a drinker. He likes a cheeseboard down there. Wine with this cheese. He knows wine dining. They have completely shut it down. They have shut it down. We are still here. They have shut it down. There is one table that outlasted us. Right over there. What time was your reservation? At five.
