About Trummer's on Main
About 30 miles from DC, historic Clifton offers bucolic therapy
to weary urbanites, and you can get a great brunch, too. Chef Cory Lambert
is serving terrific starters such as tempura-fried green tomatoes, an
impeccable quiche Lorraine, and shrimp cocktail topped with icy “Bloody
Mary” froth. Entrées range from pillowy buttermilk pancakes with
vanilla-braised-pork brisket and balsamic-tinged maple syrup to sourdough
French toast with plums and fried chicken. A sourdough-toast ring contains
a hash of chicken confit, oysters, and chorizo—the sort of
don’t-try-this-at-home wonder that every destination restaurant should
strive for. Sunday 11 to 2.
