Voulas off shore Cafe!

Well I realize that a week has gone by and no Blog, Last week was Mothers Day, and we did go out for breakfast, but we went to the market and while at the market, we dined at Lowells. There were a few things about Mothers Day at the market I should mention. Ok first thing it was sunny, a beautiful spring day in Seattle! Which in my opinion is a reason to not go to the market as well as a reason to be at the market. So many people, no place to park, yada, yada yada. It was however not Fathers Day, so thats where we went. It was good as usual but having blogged about this joint before ,I wont get too deeply into it, but I will say one thing about it. Ken and I dropped off Msue and Val right in front so they could get us a table, we then sped off to park somewhere, We ended up about a half a mile away. The girls informed us that Lowells would not seat them until Ken and I arrived, we would have had a nice window table looking out at the water ,but nooo!, not till the men showed up. They dropped a few notches in my opinion! Oh well, enough about that, today we went to Voula's off shore Cafe . You say Voula's ?, where the hell is Voula's? it's right next door to the Northlake Tavern, home to the famous Northlake Pizza! Everyone in Seattle seems to know about the pizza joint ,but Voula's doesn't ring a bell to a lot of folks,unless of course you live in the U district. It seems a lot of u dubbers like this joint and I understand why! Like I said right on Northlake ave under the Freeway is where you will find this little cafe, and most days Voula herself will seat you! It was featured on Diner's Drive ins, and Dives on the Food Network. We've been there a couple of times and I believe it will become one of Famished Fours Favs {FFF} The portions here are huge, you will either take some home, or you will not eat the rest of the day! Most people that dine here are regulars, they walk in and are greeted by name, sit in their usual seat and sometimes get up and pour their own coffee! at which time Voula will yell at them and ask if they need a job? So Msue always orders the same thing, A Greek Hobo! which is hashbrowns,eggs, onions, peppers and greek sausages all mixed up and covered with Feta cheese! A giant plate o grub,and it is pretty darned good ! They have a regular Hobo as well, reg sausage, cheddar cheese, and still ginormous! Small oj Val had the exact as Msue{makes commenting on this rather simple} they both brought most of it home, to which Voula replied " you didn't finish?,you must wash dishes! Hot T Ken ordered the regular Hobo, to which the waitress talked him out of. She told him the special was what he should get, he could order the Hobo any time. The special was called El Diablo,their version of Huevos Rancheros. Totillas and beans with onions and peppers and jalapenos all topped with a couple of fried cackleberries served over Voulas famous browns,El Plato Gigantico! Ol Hot T said, "best he ever had! It looked awsome! I was going to order the "Big Voula" which is three eggs, Two thick slices o bacon, two slices of greek sausage on top of a huge plate of what are darn near the best browns ever! The hasbrowns cover the entire plate and everything else sits on top! Man what a feed! . That is however not what I ordered, I ordered "Billys Biscuits" Plate of said Browns, topped with two biscuits covered with Sausage gravy,{good enough to eat by it self} and two eggs over medium, as is my will! and enough Hot jo to float a boat ,Holy Mackerel! Strap on the feed bag and put on your Thanksgiving Turky pants, cuz yer gonna need em! not just lotsa food, but lotsa really good food! Highly recommended by the Famished Four, soon to be a FFF! oh yeh , average coffee!
