Pete's Repeat!

If there's a few things I've found out over the last few years, is that there are quite a few good places to eat in the Seattle area, and yes there are even some great places... and then there's the few that just flat out bring it each and every time the Famished Four have had the pleasure to dine there. Pete's Egg Nest in Greenwood is one of those joints. We didn't really know where we were going when we started out this morning,until we got to Ol Hot T's and Smoj's house round about 9:00, Smoj said she was thinkin bout Pete's, we all concurred and off we went. Now it's no mystery , we've ate there before ,quite a few times really, and part of the discussion was if it was too late to go, you know to avoid the crowd that always seems to be outside waiting to get in to this tiny cafe, all looking in and watching us eat, and I'm sure muttering to themselves,Cmon eat and get out! it's our turn, all while I'm having my fith or sixth cup of Jo. Like always , we get there, find a place to park in front of the Cafe and walk right in... Sup? talk about good timing (we always seem to have it when we dine at Pete's) and not ten minutes later the hungry Greenwoodians start to gather, Ha Ha ! I say, we come from Federal Way and beat you all, Yep we are pretty lucky alright, , but not to worry Greenwoodamites! Ol Pete's out side takin care o biz, offering up hot coffee or OJ to those unlucky ones waiting their turn. So about the food , it doesn't really matter, its all frikkin great and always perfect, and most of the hungry folks who dine at Pete's must either be family, or at least they're treated that way , I must have seen Mrs Pete ( I'm assuming it's Mrs Pete) hug and kiss a dozen or so either on they're way in or on the way out. So yeh the Food, MSue had a Pesto, bacon and feta cheese scramble (it is a greek joint after all) along with bev o choice... do I really have to put that in? ok Ice T w/lemon, she ate about half maybe, along with probably the best browns in town (probably...) dry wheat toast side o salsa! Smoj ordered the California scramble, same kinda a thing you know, Ham, bacon, asst veggies topped with sour cream and avocados, small OJ of course, same ol browns, plus wheat toast... half gone half to go! Ol Hot T , not to be out done , had a Scramble also ( pete's has about a dozen of em and omlettes) I really dont remember exactly , eggs, cheese, some sort of pork and veggies,along with ........ yep Hot T, rye toast and all the crispy brownsters that a feller could want , again half eaten half go home! I went way off page for my breakfast this morning( yes.. again) I had the French toast special, Boy you guy's sure are smart! it indeed came with French toast! topped with apples and cinnamon , to little porkies ( meat o choice) and three, yes three eggasauruses over medium... aahh Huevos Perfecto! I just love fried eggs and when they're like that it just makes Jimmy smile! ( I know, doesn't take much) did half go home? nope ate it all.. it's French toast after all... So in closing who should go to Pete's Egg Nest? Everyone! but please not before 9;30,... I dont want to wait!

Scoreboard Pub

Scoreboard Pub... for breakfast? Damn straight! Darn good! So fellow Bloggominas, MSue and I did something a little out of character for breakfast this AM, we ditched Ol Hot T and Smoj and dined alone , actually they had other plans, sooo couldn't make the trip . The Scoreboard Pub is a favorite of mine, has been for a long time, they have a great bar and the the food is really good, but I usually go in the evening, either with a few couples or just a few buddys for beers and grub. The Pub (as I like to call it) has served breakfast for a while, but they recently revamped the menu for breakfast and it sounded good. I gotta admit it seems a little odd to go in there in the morning, or to walk in and not be greeted with a large Manny's pale ale as is my usual there, but in we walked , not very busy, I guess the breakfast word is not out yet, I expect it wont be long. The Scoreboard is located on 324th in Federal Way, across from Celebration Park, needless to say quite a few sports teams use this as their after game stop, Its a big bar, staffed with friendly people, and for a small kitchen puts out a pretty large menu, plus specials everyday, trivia night , cribbage tournys, golf tournaments etc a very involved establishment . Yeh Yeh ok its obvious I like this joint, lets talk about breakfast shall we!! Like I said a new breakfast menu, along with 2.99 Bloody Marys and Mimosas! did we get em? Heck yeh we did for that price, and the Bloody Mary was huge! ( might become one of my favs) So as far as food goes, my lovely bride ordered a Bacon ,mushroom and cheese scramble, or Jumble as they call it, it was quite a pile o grub, along with a slab of crispy browns and of course the Mimosa she was mighty satisfied she was , and of course took at least half home. Now before I get to my food, I gotta tell ya, I have a very special follower to my blog, that is a retired school teacher from Wisconsin, my Aunt Jean! She says she enjoys reading of the FF"s (famished four) exploits in am dining, but is a little concerned about my health, and some of my choices as far as food goes. Well Auntie I did think of you this morning, but I just couldn't order oatmeal and fresh fruit, sorry I'll eat healthy the rest of the week I promise. So I ordered what they call Bobe's Hangover Special... Kinda of a scoreboard version of tatertot casserole, tatertots stacked with bacon and burger patties covered with country gravy, american cheese, and surfin on top of it all ,..3 fried eggamundos over medium, not exactly the diet plate Huh Aunt Jean? but boy was it good! along with the afore mentioned bloody mary and a cup or two of pretty good coffee, damn skippy!! alas no leftovers for me I 'll have to ride my bike a few more days I guess Huh? Yep Yep The Scoreboard Pub! it's not just for Friday and Saturday nights anymore, sunday breakfast at the Pub has got it goin on! So Ken and Val (Ol Hot T and Smoj) when you grace us once again with your company, we'll have to back again and again and again!!

Peso's Kitchen and Lounge

Well, Well, Well, for those of you followers who are in the know (Breakfast Blogwise that is) you might remember we tried Mexican food for breakfast before,quite a while ago, a place called Senor' Moose, and with the exception of the coffee we , the "Famished Four", didn't care much for it. Enough of the past... We went to Peso's this last sunday and it was Awsome! food and coffee, I could stop here, but thats not how We roll wit dis blog ting,so heres the recap, best as my recollection serves me. Bit of a change up this sunday, our regular foursome was minus one plus three. MSue and myself of course, Ol Hot T minus 1Smoj, (Val was at Oregon State for mothers weekend, Hope you had fun Smoj.... cuz breakfast was pretty good... we missed you tho, I'm gonna have to make something funny up since you were not in attendance) Our Good friends Tim and Kate G. with which we have supped before and a good friend of MSue's , and mine too, Brooke, sort of a work cohort of MSues. We will start with Brooke, she's young , blonde,sharp as a tack and cute as a bug, nice to to have her with us this am. Actually it was Brookes Idea to go to Peso's.... Good Job Brookalino! She ordered the Huevos Tacos, with the habanero sauce, as opposed to the ancho sauce , ( apparently she's been here before) you know the routine , scrambled huevos, andouille sausage, pico de gallo,and lime crema, along with cafe de Fonte (dam good Jo!) she seemed pretty pleased! Ol Hot T started things off with a Bloody Mary , atta boy Ken! no Smoj ,might as well drink! right? for food he had the Habanero Sausage Migas, ( Scrambled eggs with ...duh! above sausage, peppers , green onions, Habanero sauce, and all mixed up with corn chips, side of home fries el magnifico !! he said it was good , but... the portion was a little dinky, (glad I didn't order it ) . Kate G ordered the French Toast, a creme Caramel affair, which she said was delicious, they also have a stuffed French Toast.... but not for Katie this morning , oh yeh! and a side a bacon, (jealous M Sue?)(she does love her bacon) and with her petite little meal she had coffee to rinse all the sugar away. Kate's Ol Ball an Chain Tim, chose the Eggs Benedict, classic style, but with a chipotle hollandaise to make it their own, it came all amigo'd with breakfast tato's and a side of toast!, Tim I think is kinda picky, and he really liked it!. MSue picked the Dungeness Crab, Avocado and roasted corn Benedict, she was very impressed, she orders her Benedicts with scrambled eggs... but she doesn't like eggs so much, she always asks ,instead of two eggs, may I have just one egg and split it between the two muffins, most times our server will be a bit confused, not this time , she said no prob! along with plenty of Ice Tea w/lemon to make it juicy, all was good for MSue!... I of course, had the star of the Table (yes again!) I saw it on the menu, and I knew it was meant to be! Chicken Fried Steak with spicy Jalapeno-Corn Gravy! WHAT UP?, this item states it has a cult following , and I believe it! spicy, spicy , crispy and the perfect amount of greasy goodness it was freakin goooood , not huge, but it didn't matter, yep along with two Huevos over perfecto , and breakfast spudalinos, quite delish, I must say, along with Fonte Coffee,( same as Avalon), durn good brown stuff, damn fine breakfast. I dont know how long Peso's Kitchen and lounge has been there, the building was at one time Vinces, I hope it stays Peso's for a long time, it was a six thumbs up day, and we'll have to go back , just a cuz of no Val (Smoj) So we'll have a good reason to go back. You know? Sunday was really nice, great friends, great food, Beautiful day to boot! Yeppers had the top down all the way home
