FREMONT, CA — If a leisurely but hearty Sunday brunch is exactly what you need, check out Smoking Pig BBQ right here in Fremont. The restaurant was chosen by the Mercury News Food Section to be featured in "7 scrumptious new Bay Area brunch spots from Walnut Creek to Los Gatos."

Pitmaster and eatery owner Paul Reddick lays on the meats in creative ways, from "Burnt End Hash ($14.99) to Smoked Biscuits & Sausage Gravy with Eggs ($11.99). The terrific Eggs Benedict ($11.99) tops housemade corn cakes with smoked, shredded pork, poached eggs and a drizzle of BBQ hollandaise sauce."

There are breakfast sandwiches, breakfast burritos, and spicy Bloody Marys.

"And then there’s a spicy number that showcases the famous Smoking Pig appetizer that carries an infamous name: Wolf Turds. For this dish ($11.99), those smoked jalapenos filled with bacon, cheese and housemade sweet sausage are folded inside an omelet. Country potatoes come on the side."
