fête à fête

For all you lucky San Francisco/Bay Area foodies looking for a fresh, yummy and healthy lunch, your slow food choices just got sweeter with Split Pea Seduction. A spin-off from the local catering company Jersey Tomatoes, the new breakfast/lunch eatery just opened on 6th Street and Minna.

A true labor of love from founders Sarah Ellison-Pinkin and Christian Noto, they prepare everything on-site, from scratch. Using only seasonal ingredients, their delectable menus (changes daily!) feature sustainable produce sourced directly from small local farms.

Breakfast features freshly baked muffins, scones, and open-faced crostatas with home-made fruit preserves, while lunch offers hearty gourmet soups and salads (fresh house-marinated sardines, shaved fennel and watercress, yum!). This is not your generic garden salad with ranch, folks. Be prepared to be dazzled. Your office lunch will never be the same.

The signature savory crostatas (open faced pastry) are made with mouth-watering ingredients like Wilgenburg tomato, fontina and grilled chicken. For an afternoon coffee break, try the strawberry shortcake cupcakes, cookies and other daily dessert specials. You might return to the office smiling (and productive, gasp) after munching on some of these sweeties.
