Super Blog!

Yeh, you dont have to tell me, I'm aware my many followers that I am not keeping up on the Breakfast Posts.         So I'm gonna try something thats never been done before.... Wait.... I'm going to Blog on 3 Restaurants at the same time, so hang on get a cup o jo, here we go!   The time frame is fuzzy but lets just say we visited these places between August and now.          Ok the first joint the FF(Famished Four) prescence graced was a little place in the  Columbia City neighborhood of Seattle. called" Geraldines Counter", I remember  it was a sunny , beautiful day and we were starving! the whole area down there is going thru a bit  of revamp, homes, restaurants etc, its becoming nicer and people are showing up!        We had a bit of a wait, seems to me, not to bad, 10 or 15 minutes tops, the joint was jumpin lets just say.       So we were seated and bev orders were taken...do I have to say?... ok Msue ,Ice T w/lemon, Ol Hot T oh cmon! yep Hot T, and Smoj had H20 , and of course got to have My Coffee, after all its the whole purpose of this bloggin thing right?  .... The perfect combo of Grub an Jo........ and quite frankly, I really could stop anytime, for there are a few places that rank pretty high , but alas I will not stop, to dissapoint my many fans out there?, (all five of you) well, its would be selfish!              So Food you ask?  Msue had the Bfast Casserole, eggers cheese veggies all baked, kinda quiche like, but no crust..... welldonesideosalsa! of course, Rave reviews until she tasted mine, which I will get to in a moment..... Smoj.. along with her water...yawn... had the small french toast, crispy and delicious ! was her comment, and  I gotta say, looked pretty good, thick,kinda small, but something I could see my self ordering at some point, only perhaps a larger version .
 Ol Hot ordered the "Homemade CB Hash"    H Tizzle likes his hash , he duz! along with eggs poached I believe, and the toast of the Rye persuasion, nice lookin plate o groceries for Ken.                  You know me, I hate to be the star attraction all the time, but heck someone has to right? its my damn blog is it not?....... Big surprise here ..... CFS, sausage gravy, crispy browners, eggs over perfect... and the coffee? well lets just say it was Jotastic!, its funny I at first thought my portion of cfs was a little tiny, until I realized they had to fold it in half to fit it on my plate! Yep Yep! , darn good food, great service. Geraldines Counter, a return trip? most Def!                                     Right onward we go, so after that weekend,again not sure exactly,but after. we dined at the Portage Bay Cafe (U Dub district), I know ,faithful followers will remember we dined at the Ballard version of said Cafe and did not care for it, as far as Im concerned the whole organic thang! is a little overrated , an excuse to charge more.... that bein said it took a bit of convincing for me to go here, but go we did and this time we ditched OL Hot T and Smoj for some other friends..... Ok Ken and Val were in Portland or camping or had other plans, they just couldnt make it.      Lucky for us we have back up !     Tim and Kate Guerrero were are guests today.    Msue and I stayed at the Alexis Hotel that Saturday, a friend of hers got married and had their reception at the Hotel, so we stayed the night, we after all are quite fancy folks and like to turn it up up a notch from time to time.         Tim and Kate picked us up at the hotel sunday morning and off to the Portage Bay Cafe we went.         First off we called ahead to get our name in, on another beautiful sunday in Seattle, I dont really know what good it did, we still waited about 45 min, but the weather was nice and the coffee was good, no heavy biggy.      When we finally did get in and seated we learned it would be worth the wait.     I believe MSue had an Omlette, ordered as a scramble, eggswelldonesidosalsa! crispy hashbrowns and toast, dry wheat(yuk..dry wheat?) but thas how she likes her toast.    Kate on the other hand ordered the French Toast, which is famous there, its made with Challa Bread! thank you my jewish friends, your egg bread is delish!, thick and chewy! and cooked to a crispy perfection! what makes the F Toast here so special is they have a fixins bar for toppin yer toast! along with sryup,there is berries of all kinds ,whipped cream, apples, nuts and more fruits than I recall plus granola! afterall it is the Portage Bay!       Tim had the cornbeef hash! big chunks of meat and taters plus eggs over perfection and coffee as well he said it was Yumtastic!     (see, all my friends talk like that now)          I , not to brag, but my food was the best again!    hah hah nut in yer eye! I had the" Country Breakfast" which consisted of Three perfectcly cooked eggasaurus's over medium , sausage, bacon, brownersdecrispy....and a choice of pancakes or french toast, I of course opted for the latter, cuz it meant a trip to the fixins bar, and did I say the coffee was great, well it was .      So the second time to the Portage bay Cafe was a huge success great food, good company, it sounds sort of cliche ish, but it doesent get much better.       We did miss Ol Hot T and Smoj,but we will return, with em  in tow at some point.                     O k !!!!  next up is Voulas Offshore Cafe ,just a few blocks down the the street from Portage bay cafe, and right next door to the Famous Northlake Tavern!  , now weve been to Voulas many times, in fact its MSues Favorite place, she loves their Greek Hobo, but this time was differant,this time we had Patty and Eric Baker with us, great friends,they were up from Portland for Cassidys college grad party,and speaking of Cass, she came along as well, her boyfriend Brian did not attend breakfast he was playing golf with his Bros and his Pop, this time we really had to wait along time....easily an hour, but again nice and sunny not a big deal.     MSue of course had the Greek Hobo, eggs potatoes, and veggies all mixed up and topped with Feta cheese and baked to a crisp deliciousness that my wife so dearly loves, and Ice T w/lemon by the gallon,  what Patty  had escapes me, I guess  I need to take notes, i do remember she liked it a lot. Eric had the Irish Hobo, just like MSues but with cornbeef and cheddar, coffe as well for Eric.  So this time the Star of the meal was twofold, Cassidy and I both had the Chipoltle Bennedict! which consisted of  Voulas homemade smoked pulled pork (so good)  ridin topside of a muffin and smothered with their Chilpoltle hollandaise  , the food here is so good I sometimes forget the coffee is crappy, it doesn't really matter, Im gonna get it any ways............ so thus ends the bloggin for today I hope all five of you fans o mine got their fix, I will try to keep up a better pace... it is October, which means my birthday, which means, Charlies in Puyallup, Ima member of their exclusive club(I get bfast free for my bday) maybe I'll write about it!
