Rich Table Watermelon Sundae

Dessert San Francisco

Of course Rich Table sundaes don't resemble versions at other local spots like Ghirardelli.

Picture the best granola you’ve ever eaten, with crunchy grain or nut chunks, your favorite milk, and fresh fruit. That’s a pretty damn good, but no breakfast granola can touch the Watermelon Sundae dessert at Rich Table. The contemporary California restaurant in San Francisco’s Hayes Valley from chefs Evan Rich + Sarah Rich recently closed dinner with a terrific dessert that a granola bow clearly inspired.

The Watermelon Sundae ($11) at Rich Table starred juicy watermelon squares and tiny, tangy buttermilk ice cream scoops. Basil, for savory’s sake, complemented popped sorghum crunch made with the grassy, caramel-like sweetener that’s popular in the South. This was a great bowl of food that I would be just as happy to eat for breakfast or dessert, even if they don’t call it granola.
