Puyallup Is a Breakfast town!

Maybe its because I'm gettin older...Maybe cuz I'm gettin cheaper.. I don't know. , what I do know is I get a coupon for a breakfast at Charlies in Puyallup, cuz its my birthday! Yeh Yeh I'm a member of the birthday club, so every year they send me a two fer, yep pretty nice to be in such an elite club.        So as you've probably guessed , we went to Charlies this morning, Same old song and dance , same old Hot T and Smoj, Msue and Myself, on SEahawk Sunday no less, not to worry they have a bar in which to watch the game....we did not sit in the bar.... Why?      Well Im a bit Superstitious about watching a game in a bar. last two or three times Ive seen the Hawks play on a bar tv.... the've lost           Your Welcome Fans.... The Hawks won today.                                                                                      So breakfast?....We arrived later than usual for our am nosh, around 10:45,.... Hot T , Orange juice, Ice Tea and Coffee for starters....guess who got what?, yes My readers are a  smart bunch                     Msue had the"  Meat Square " which is a scramble menage of all breakfast meats , potatoes,eggs , peppers and onions...served on a Square plate, covered in gravy.... pretty big pile of food  it was ..Msue had quite a bit to take home..... Smoj had the undecided Breakfast, so named because of the contents of said Bfast... 1 pancake, 1french toast, 1 egg, bacon and  sausage . actually it was a pretty big plate of food, and it went down for the count with Smojs usual gusto . Ol Hot T went a little off the charts today, you see the Hot Man doesnt usually go to sweet side of Breakfast  he's almost always on the  Savory side, well sir He went all the way sweet today ... "The French Toast Tower"  which entails four slices of french toast, stuffed with creamcheese, strawberries, stacked up high, dusted with powdered sugar, and of course butter and syrup.. two kinds of syrup , maple and boysenberry, yep The Hot Man went through it like Msue through an outlet mall.                                 As far as My choice Today? I had Charlies famous "Chicken in a Biscuit"     all made up of a piece of fried chicken (boneless breast) on a home made biscuit , fried egg, bacon, cheese, the top of the biscuit,more cheese, and of course all covered in Sausage gravy....isn't everything tasty covered or dipped in gravy?     Yep the diet plate....... it came with little home fried taters, crispy puffs of taterliciousness.... couldnt eat em all, but my fellow noshettes helped me power through.                      We've been to Charlies  quire a few times, never had a bad meal yet, we have only had the morning meal there, but the lunch and dinner looks to be equally as tempting.        Lots a good joints down in Puyallup,  Crocketts is right around the corner, more of an upscale eatery,but good (featured on Diners, Drive ins, and Dives).. Auntie Bees is a couple blocks   away, been there, and the Rose Cafe is good as well.                                                                                                                                            We got back to the Seattle area last weds eve after 5 days in the beautiful wine country of northern Cali.........Sadly we ate breakfast each day at the hotel.... you know the drill , make yer own waffles, steam table eggs and meats, beverages of choice..not the best but adequate , we need strength to wine taste, we covered all the valleys , your Napa , Your Sonoma, Alexander, Bennett, yep we covered em all , about 40, yikes!  quite a few really but considering that Napa has 450 on its own, a mere drop in the bucket .         Yeh no special breakfast from California, but we did eat at some pretty cool joints for dinner.    First night s dinner was at the Russian River Pub in Forestville,( not far from Santa Rosa)... it was featured  on DDD (Diners Drive ins and Dives)   a little tavern in the boonies, with awesome grub, we all had Sandwiches, but Holy Crap what sandwiches! Msue had the tri tip , Ol Hot T had the Prime Rib sand, , Smoj had pulled pork......and I had what was probably the best Patty Melt Ive ever had, plus homemade sides, and o rings and fries .      We took a day and went into San Francisco......First stop....The Buena Vista.....IRISH COFFEES!! I had three,  whoops had to walk off those for a couple of hours.......... Dinner in San Fran? ...... Tommys Joynt!, again a sandwich night, they have other menu items but the sandwiches are cheap and huge, Also a DDD destination... guess the theme here?    And one night in Santa Rosa we went to a DDD destination for Mexican food La Texanita, good grub as well............and of course MSue and I cant go to Cali without a burger stop.........Good ol In N Out, on the way to the Airport........ So we did a lot of wineing  while there , very little beering , we did stop at the Rusian River Brewery before In N out and i got to have a Pliny the Elder Ipa...regretably only one, if I ever went to Santa Rosa for beer drinking I may not get out of that bar.......so many beers.. so little driving.... good combo.        Ok for now my Many followers                                                                               Heres to good food, and good friends!  Merry Mastication evryone!
