I had another wonderful brunch at Parc in Philadelphia over the weekend. Wow, I love that place! I actually think it's just as good as Balthazar (food wise), and certainly looks as good (aesthetics)... but you can actually get a table! So it's even better.
One of my favorite things at Parc is their amazing homemade bread. The bread basket they serve includes slices of their baguette, round wheat loaf and cranberry walnut bread. All of them are fabulous - - just the way good bread should be: crispy crust and a tender chewy inside.
If you ask they will bring you some jams, which is nice to go with the breads for brunch. They bring a raspberry and a marmalade. I was curious to know if they had a special source for the jams because they also tasted so good. Turns out, the raspberry is Bonne Maman and the marmalade is Polaner! Pretty standard - - I guess they just taste so good because the bread is so good.
