A Fork in the Road: Bedford Post Inn (Bedford, NY)

To keep my sanity, I drove through Westchester one Saturday a few weeks back on a mini-food tour.  The first stop was right outside the town of Bedford, at a bed and breakfast owned by Richard Gere and designed by his wife Carey Lowell.  This lovely B&B sits atop a small hill and offers yoga classes in the morning as well as breakfast, brunch and lunch in The Barn restaurant.  The Barn restaurant is completely enclosed with French windows (that open to the outside) that let light flood in and a large stone fireplace. 

The Hammy-Cheesy-Eggy Croissant: thin country ham, gruyere and fluffy eggs on a buttery croissant.  Check.  Definitely can see why my waiter said, 'You made the right choice'.

Poached eggs with polenta and mushrooms:  absolutely love the yolk running onto the creamy polenta!  The wild mushrooms gave it an earthy undertone perfect for this cool, crisp day. 

Chicken apple sausage links:  sweet and tasty, but not as plump as I would have liked.

Bedford Post Inn is freaking adorable and I suggest treating yourself to a breakfast after a yoga session in the loft!
