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.
