Funkytown is not just for Fremont anymore...

I dont know who's idea it was to put a cafe in with a record store,but it totally works with "Easy Street Cafe" on the corner of Alaska and California in the Junction in West Seattle. We had guests with us today, along with the usual counterparts of the FF {Famished Four} Yep, Msue and I actually talked our daughter Jessica and her friend Carter {cute as a bug} to join us on our sojourn for breakfast fare this AM. Smoj {Val} heard about this place and has been wanting to try it,Nice one Smoj!. MSue and I along with our guests, met Ol Hot T and Smoj at the Cafe,and as there was about a half an hour wait. MSue and I walked up the block a bit, her friend Liz owns the Village Woodworks furniture store, just up the street,thought we'd stop and say hi, alas the store was not open yet, so on we walked. Not having enough coffee in me as yet,thought I'd stop and get a to go drip from Venite Coffee, just across from the Cafe,in we walked and what to my surprise? they Brew and serve "Stumptown" Coffee, Wut uppp!!! Yeppers the same lovely brew I was so taken by in Portland ,and to make it even better it was also a Cupcake Royale!, pretty spendy cup o jo there as I bought a pound of S Town plus two cupcakes for later ,23 smackers and we had'nt even had breakfast yet..., the coffee is so frikkin good... I'm just sayin. We then headed back to meet up with the rest of the Famished 4 plus 2, the table was not as yet ready , but I gotta tell ya Bloggermites,the only thing I like better than browsing through an old bookstore , is looking through old records and cd's and this place just happens to have a Cafe attached, dang , what a concept! and you can put your treasured music finds on your cafe bill , Cool Beans ay? Well I was thinkin the food better be good, so listenup, here we go! The menu at Easy Street, despite the size of the joint,(kinda small) is pretty big and it's all in a music theme, Jessica ordered the James Browns, which were hash browners topped with ham sausage , veggie links, or tofu, along with shrooms, tomatoes, red onion and sweet peppers,... Sans tomatoes and shrooms cuz she's a bit of a weirdo and doesn't care for them,and she ordered a Latte to wash it all down with , no eggs with this dish. Carter had the "Woody Guthrie" farmers omelette, a three eggster affair with shrooms, spinach , onions , sweet peppers and cheddar,with toast and browns to boot! they both said their food was mmmm good!. MSue had the "Bizkits" and Gravy along with choice o cluckerinas plus browns, and yep my friends, pretty tasty also, biscuits made in house and the gravy had chunks of pig on top, eggs scrambled well done for Msue along with her usual Ice T W/lemon, yes indeedy she was pretty pleased. Smoj, trying to throw off the Blog as she sometimes does, ordered cranberry juice, along with her order of "Cha Cha Chorizo", 3 eggs scrambled with said chorizo, onions , spinach and tomatoes, yep yeppy yep browns and toast inclusive, fantasterick she blurted out !, well not exactly, but she did like it and took bout half home. Ol Hot T, along with his name sake ordered "Bennie and the Jets"(eggs benny) and hashbrownsters as well, tho the poached cackleberrys atop were a bit over done, he said he did like his decision . And as for me you ask? well once again I stole the show! ( Frankly I like it that way) Ol Jimmy ordered up the "Horton Heat" Hash and like the name sez, it was pretty spicy, corned beef,and bacon along with onion , peppers ,hashbbrownlees and secret spices, along three eggamundos over medium ridin shotgun , mmmmmdamngood! tho the chicken babies were a bit over done, it was still the star of the table! ,yep and pretty dang good jo as well ( their own brand I think) But folks I gotta say a pretty spendy fare , as I bought three cd's as well, I think it was a little over 90 sams for the FF plus 2 and I might have browsed and spent more if we had stayed any longer. The only drawback to this lil joint was no CFS , odd I thought, but no matter it was all in all, quite delish, and we will definately make a return visit! Plus I like the fact that Ol West Seattle has put on a pretty funky face, what with all the little shops and all, plus the waitstaff had as many tattoos and piercings as any ol Fremont joint! Way to go Westside!!
