Cochon nom nom

Brunch at Cochon

Eggs Cochon- pulled pork, bacon-gruyère biscuit, poached eggs, Mornay sauce, home fries
The poached egg looks pretty spiffy and swirly there.

Berkshire pork belly special- on top of hash browns and brussel sprouts, with a mystery possibly homemade mayo based sauce, or maybe it was a crème fraîche
Ratio of meat to fat 1:4. It's actually fat marbled with meat. The pork belly comes with a fried egg that I asked them to leave out. Although visually it doesn't look like much food, the amount of calories in the pork and the sauce made me full. The potatoes were fantastic and I wish there had been more of them. Also, I generally don't like brussel sprouts, but brussel sprouts doused in pork fat? Delicious.

Matyson

Matyson is a byob in Center City West.  I like the food but it can get loud because sound just bounces around in there.

Duck inside sausage on top of polenta.

Short rib with fingerlings.

Poached pear on puff pastry with hazelnut ice cream subbed for some other flavour.

Coconut cream pie, chocolate ganache, macadamia nut crust.

Warm chocolate cake, caramelized bananas, hazelnut ice cream.
