My "breakfast food" tastes are fairly ordinary--eggs (preferably over easy, but scrambled will do), bacon, hash browns, white toast (buttered, of course), pancakes, french toast, biscuits and gravy, oatmeal (preferably with raisins), coffee (coffee flavored coffee, that is, none of that yuppified flavored stuff) etc.. But every once in a while it's good to have a favorite "specialty" item from a not-so-local eatery, and two come to mind:
Aww nuts, now I'm hungry. :hungry:
- There is a restaurant chain called Black Bear Diner with 60 locations in nine states (primarily in California) that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner all day long. Their pancakes are made with sweet cream, and they're so good that pouring maple syrup on them is almost a criminal act.
- Much lesser known is a "breakfast and sandwich" shop called Mike's Hockey Burger about five miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles. All of their breakfasts are good, but they make a Spanish Omelette that in my opinion is unsurpassed. Most of the ingredients are common--eggs, onions, American cheese, fresh salsa on top--but they include a type of salami that nicely enhances and compliments all of the other flavors. If I were ever to find myself in a "last meal" situation, this would definitely be near the top of my list!
