Delicious surprise!
Water's Edge brunch at Shem Creek
Chocolate Cheesecake
After a delectable brunch I went looking for dessert, but was dismayed to find none. I jokingly mentioned to Britt, a manager-type. that I needed chocolate after a meal. Minutes later he surprised me with a chocolate cheesecake large enough to be shared at our table. It was terrific.
I wisely chose a small plate and filled it with asparagus and sausage and (top right clockwise) grits and shrimp with a hot sauce, smoked salmon and sauce, potatoes, Crab Cake Benedict with Hollandaise sauce and biscuits with gravy. The buffet was so very good! I think that I'll go back and make sure that Britt knows I am patronizing the place again!!
If you want to eat well, come to this part of the country!!

May my DARLIN' Grandson DOMINIQUE have a great birthday!!
Well that is a nice brunch with a delicous desert. How nice they came up with the cake for you!
ReplyDeleteGotta be healthy with that fruit on top!
ReplyDeleteYou are making me hungry!
Great new pic of you and Jim....have fun!
ooh I'm hungry now!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Dominique! What a lovely brunch...and superior service from the management type person.
ReplyDeletethe cake looks good even at 6:30am.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the destination made the journey's eating sacrifices all worthwhile!
ReplyDeleteThe entire meal looks scrumptious to me!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you have chosen a good location for the rest of your winter this year.
ReplyDeleteYum...now that is a hearty breakfast!
ReplyDeleteKate, David isn't a chef he's just a "foodie" like me and Julie and Dave. He loves to entertain.
I gained 5 pounds just looking at this post! So decadent and delicious. Are you sure it's legal and moral for Minnesotans to eat such goodies?
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so good! Hope Dominique has a wonderful birthday.
ReplyDeleteI am just as confused as you are about "Captain Canada". The building with the sign was closed that day and there was no one around to ask, I will try to discover the truth.
LAWD HAVE MERCY could I ever go for that right now ;)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're having a wonderful time! Gorgeous photos!
Kate, your pictures are awesome! We enjoyed our brunch with you and the next one will be in our new home! Just won't be so glamorous and there will be less food! But there WILL be chocolate!
ReplyDeleteSuzi, Can't wait to see you two again! Can't wait to see your new "digs!" We had a great time; the photos I took of you and Kirby were too hurried, didn't turn out well, so you'll have to pose again!
ReplyDeleteseeing DESSERT before lunch is killing me!

I could make this a Sunday regular.
ReplyDeleteOh my the brunch looks delicious. Chocolate cheese cake is the perfect desert.
ReplyDeleteit's lunch time here and i'm drooling.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to think that this is the perfect way to enjoy food: photos of it, on someone else's plate. Of course, it's hurrying my plans for lunch, but thankfully there isn't a buffet nearby. . .
ReplyDeleteOh that would have been my choice too. Not only delicious, but the pictues just make me drool all over my keyboard. "slurp, slurp"
ReplyDeleteNever thought of chocolate cheese cake. But why not? Anything chocolate has to be good and this looks fasbulous!
ReplyDeleteDelightful choices for brunch! I would make Britt my best friend when visiting Shem Creek!
ReplyDeleteyou are evil...
ReplyDeleteOutstanding, Kate.
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYou tease! And I have no chocolate in the house.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a dessert!
ReplyDeleteI, too, need chocolate after a meal, even breakfast.
ReplyDeleteToo rich, too sweet, too tempting. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe cake display is a work of art!
ReplyDeleteFirstly very Happy belated birthday to Dominique and secondly Kate, you have to solve a mystery for me (I know I could look it up) what are 'grits'??
ReplyDeleteThe word Chocolate begins with the letter C but yes, I admit that it is both Delish and Delectible. Pardon me, I gotta run grab me a piece of that yummy candy I have stowed away.
