Best of the Blog!

I guess we've ate at enough places, Ive drank at least 30 gallons of so-so Jo,so I spose its time to let all the faithful followers of the Famished Fours Sunday feedings, you know ,what we liked ,didn't like... Yada Yada! To be perfectly honest, I dont think any place that we have been was awful... just some were not up to our expectations, so heres some of what we thought were the highs, and a few of the lows. First off,all four of us like these joints just cuz the food is good,the coffee at the top four places never really got above ok... but the grub is so good... Any way here goes, Topping off the list... Numero uno.. has got to be The Chelan Cafe! for the plain reason we've gone there more than any other place, thats got to say something,yes the food is great, not huge portions, but enough. The service is excellant, they make a decent blood mary and its fairly easy to get to. In my opinion they have the best pancakes, but all the grub is good, and my recommendation for the best "hangover breakfast" Their Country Benedict.. English muffins topped with sausage patties.then scrambled eggs all topped with their sausage gravy mmmm.. mm! Number 2, 3 and 4 in line I gotta say are all tied for 2nd place really, for different reasons we all like these places. Pete's Egg Nest in Greenwood, great food .. A Big selection of Benedicts, and a different Scramble to please even the most pickiest of eaters..{Smoj} They definately are in the running for the most food on a plate award, their staffed by what appears to be family who care about their food and service, and your dining experience, the only draw back to Petes for me is that its in Greenwood and I dont always like to drive that far, but when we do it always seems worth it!Browns Point Diner could be in the running with the Chelan, BPD is Pretty basic ,with the exception of an outstanding Monte Cristo San, my frikkin goodness its good, and in my humble opinion might just be the best Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs Benny around. The Bay Cafe at Fishermans Terminal is a bit of a drive but well worth the fuel in my opinion for the plain simple reason They have Oysters for breakfast,Man what a concept. The Bay Cafe is staffed by what I would call the best of the best as far as service goes, coffee and Tea .. never empty Ice T refills.. never have to ask! and quite possibly the best hashbrowns ever! So those are the Restaurants we like the best... but there are some others who put out a fair feedbag in their own right Individual Fare kinda goes like this.. Since I am the only coffee drinker in the bunch {weird huh?} Numerus Unus has gotta Be Senor Moose in Ballard, Great Jo might be worth it to me to go back just fot the Coffee, food by wide concensus of the FF not so much. Number 2 Jo was Glos on Capital Hill, Pegasus was the brand I believe, food was weird, coffee great! everyone else tied for third thus my opinion that most people when they're eating dont care about the coffee as long as its hot and plentiful. The most Disappointing ,and I think this was unanimous, The Portage Bay Cafe {Ballard Locale} for the reason that everything that I had heard from friends and from reviews was that this was place to go! Long Waits and so so food doesn't cut it, even the organic ketchup sucked! honorable mentions gotta go to Draftchoices in Covington, their CFS is outsanding and their hoemestyle taters Scrumdidly! Voula's Offshore Cafe { Went there today}Their Scrambles and Hobos are so big and good that MSue gets two lunches out of em everytime I again had the Big Voula, which consisted of a plate of very good browns topped with 3 eggasauruses over perfect ,2 bacon, 2 greek sausage mmm , good burpin later!! Another place that needs to be mentioned is Dixies in Sumner! Good food ? Yes! Great Sausage gravy, and their Dads Potatoes, well you just gotta have those, sliced like Cottage fried, but cooked like frenchfries, Darn Tasty! its loud in there but the food is good , also family run, which seems to be a good thing . Best view has gotta be Lowells at the Pike Place Market, food is good, a little spendy, they also have oysters {Hangtown Fry} Dungeness Crab Benny and a darn fine Blood Mary or Caesar {clamato} So I guess that bout wraps it up, Will I Blog again? Yeppers I will!, the format may change a bit , maybe some pics or illustrations ,I do skip a week here or there but since we go to some of our favs multiple times and Quite franky MSue and Smoj dont vary much in what they order, I figured why? But Smoj thinks there should be some record de chew... so I shall comply. 2011 should be fun There are a lot of Cafes and Diners we have yet to try, and there is lot Jo De Blah I have yet to swill, and who knows maybe I'll find that magic place , where great coffee and great food coexist ....I'll keep Looking
