"We love the down-home (and decidedly cheaper) takes on the Hangtown fry at Brenda’s French Soul Food."
"Here it’s served like a frittata—a hearty serving of eggs is studded with thick-cut diced bacon, whole oysters (that have been breaded and fried), green onions, and pockets of melty cheese. Be sure to ask for Tabasco sauce on the side: A splash of the vinegary heat cuts through the dish’s richness well."
"Buttercup Pantry is one of a few spots where you can get order the legendary Hangtown Fry, an egg scramble complete with oysters, bacon and onions that dates all the way back to the Gold Rush. Buttercup Pantry takes it one step further by adding melted cheese on top."
"This is the place to sample Pacific rarities that seldom make it east, like genuine Hangtown fry."
"For brunch, I highly recommend the Hangtown fry with oysters and Vermont Cheddar - and girding yourself for a long table-wait and perfunctory service."
