Last Sunday I got together with a bunch of friends to have my birthday brunch at the Flames Eatery in downtown San Jose. Even though brunch was at 1pm, I was still exhausted from the night before. The night before was the final bout of the season for the Silicon Valley Roller Girls (SVRG, the league that I coach) and it was a double header. The league gave me the best gift I could have asked for; a win for both SVRG teams (bout recap here).

I love the Flames because they have something for everyone. I ordered hashbrowns, tofu scramble with avocado, and a bottomless mimosa! The Flames is known for their mile high cakes but sadly they don’t have any vegan ones. However, the staff of the Flames surprised me with a birthday fruit cup! Everything at brunch was wonderful and I totally had to take a nap when I got home.
