We went to Colicchio & Sons after church last sunday with high expectations. Colicchio & Sons is Tom Colicchio's newest venture after he closed down Craft Steak with the reinvented Colicchio & Sons. It’s a modern American menu with a twist on traditional American cuisine.

The Carolina rice Johnny cakes ($12) were totally distinct from any other brunch dish I've been served. A small stack of rice and cornmeal cakes alongside a red-eye gravy-drowned serving of duck confit, all topped with a poached egg, it's hard to see how the dish would fail. The cake was gritty and sweet from the cornmeal. And although the egg was a little under done, the runny yolk helped bring the dish together.

The real winner of the meal though were the Lemon cream Doughnuts ($7 for 3) With shells of powdered sugar that exploded upon contact, they were fantastic. We even got an extra order because they were so tasty.
