Tommy's Cafe, Renton

This week oh my many blogger fans,Tommy's Cafe in Renton fell victim to the Famished Fours {FF's} pre lunch mastication onslaught{breakfast} I was in Renton last week and noticed the parking lot was packed in the early hours of a saturday, well I figured ,"Must be the food" pretty sharp huh? so then I looked it up on the net, and there were a lot of good reviews, thought it might be worthy of a try. So off we sailed in Msue's Convertible, sun shining, beautiful day that it was ,heading for our destination, Ol Hot T and small OJ {Smoj} in the backseat thoroughly recking their doos. I was drivin kinda slow so not to be too windy on our passengers, Msue says its better to go faster and get it over with, and then beat me to the {"Thats what she said "comment} So eventually we arrived and in we walked, seat yourself some one said, maybe Mrs. Tommy, and were promptly served our bev o choice, coffee for me {or hot water with a brown crayon dipped in it} Ice t w/lemon for Msue,and ol Hot T and Smoj had there usual {hot t, small oj} finally back to their senses, although Smoj Val was thinking bout pineapple juice, {she would just to screw with me, cuz thats how she rolls} Again Val ordered an omelette as a scramble, I mentioned to her of my previous blog and how I made fun of her, and her and Ol Hot T went on to explain how the scramble takes on a whole different dynamic as opposed to the omelette Yada ,yada, yada ok I get it!,sooo she ordered her's as a scramble,ham ,swiss cheese and peppers with home fries stead of browns and toast, the home fries looked pretty good, she didn't bring any home so I'm guessing she liked it. Ol Hot T Ken went right for the jugular ,with the Breakfast Mess,frankly it looked a lot like Vals but he said it was pretty darn good, although a bit short on animal parts, he exclaimed! My lovely Msue was bound and determined to keep it simple once again and not to copy Val,she was true to her word and ordered Bacon and Eggs scrambledwelldone, browns extra crispy, side o salsa! Eggs were perfect!, she said, good browns and toast also and plenty of Ice t to wash it all down with. Life is much nicer when Msue's happy. {i'm just sayin} As for ol Jimbo, I ordered the" Margaret" Two biscuits and gravy, three sausage links and browns but no eggs, so I asked for two of em over medium. The eggs were perfect I gotta say and the skits and gravy were pretty good to,as well as the browns . So all in all pretty good grub, we all thought it was worth a second trip, nothin fancy, but few of the places we go to are, food and friendship is how we roll, this time Tommy's supplied the food!

Destination;Daves Diner

Wow, It's been a month since I last blogged, Sup w/dat?, well I'll tell you sup! Have we not been breakfasting? yes we have! Has it not been blog worthy?Yes it has ,buuuttt in the last 3 sundays we have supped at joints that have been previously bloggamized, The Chelan Cafe, supergood!,Browns Point Diner,Yumarrific!as usual, and what might just become the ff's Fav,Petes Egg Nest,Stupendalicious!Nuff said bout that! So Daves Diner you ask? Why Daves? well for one thing it's pretty darn close to home and it was one of those places,I think smoj [Val] said lets try it,so we did. Our first trip to Daves was a while ago and we've been back a couple a times, but last sunday would be the event in question. This is one of those used to be cafes, you know,it used to be Dennys, or it used to be a Sambos, wow that was a long time ago, Well I'm old ! just play along. What Daves is is a pretty good little Cafe, the service is good, never too long a wait and the food,at least for breakfast,is pretty good. It's all decorated in road travel stuff, you know old licence plates, flight stuff ,trucker stuff ,its right across from the airport on 188th so they got all the bases covered. Food? oh yeh food.. So to start smoj[small orangejuice Val] ordered a small tomato juice! effin A! , I told her it would throw me off, you think you know someone and they do this to ya !,oh well I'm not changing her name now! so along with the tomato juice she ordered the one of the special omelettes of the day,this one had spinach, shrooms, onion , swiss cheese and ham was da meat! and of course ol smoj couldn't just take it as is, nooo way, she said may I have it as a scramble? Of course was the reply! [ personaly,I dont really see the diff], But Ol smoj likes her scrambles, chopping up the omelette is way to hard. On to Msue, she said she wanted Bacon and eggs, sumpin simple ,well after smoj placed her order, Msue replied, I want that too.. It sure makes remembering what the food was easy! of course she requested browns extra crispy, and they arrived razor sharp! man! thats crispy! They both enjoyed their meal, but there were not very many taters on any ones plate. Hot T Ken [HTK] had ..... wait for it....... Hot T! to start, finally I predict something correctly. HTK ordered another of the Omlettes Du Jour, a cornbeef hash and swiss concoction which he informed me was quite good! along with his usual Rye toast..... no... wait he ordered an english muffin instead of his usual rye, Ol HTK was not gonna be in a rut today [ they do this on purpose you know, just to throw me off] As for me, well certain places call for certain food, I've had other items at Daves before, such as eggs benny, passable, but one time I received my eggs poached hard,an immediate turn off, and another time I ordered a sausage omlette, but the cheese was extra! dont all omlettes come with cheese ? sup wi dat Dave? nope when I 'm at Daves it's CFS, choice of browns or country taters, choice of country gravy or sausage. Eggers over medium done perfect! Now the CFS at Daves is 9.29, for 9.99 you can get the Motherlode size, hell why not? what's 4 bits? So if you like a CFS the size of a roofing shingle! this might just be your place to go, I wouldn't necessarily claim, best ever, but it' s damn good and I will motherlode again. So all in all pretty good, I'm sure our travels will bring us back to Daves. The coffee is ok ,basic brown, and hey! in the evening Daves has "Dinner and a Movie" on Saturdays , last sat was "Blazing Saddles,hmmm I wonder if baked beans were on the menu. Next Week...
