I love breakfast
17 Jul
After a particularly good, long run this morning (I felt fast), I was in the mood for pancakes. Mmm, I love some humongous pancakes after a hard run. And, since this week I had watched a show called “Breakfast Special” on PBS, I heard of two new restaurants in the Columbus area that has some good ones. If you didn’t see this show, you should follow that link and watched. It was so neat! They went all over the US and ate breakfast in Columbus, upstate New York (a place on the way to visit Uncle Ray! I’m so there next time!), somewhere in Georgia, St. Augustine, Florida, San Francisco and (Beth, I know you already know that your town is the king of breakfast, but…) Portland!! Of the two in Columbus, we decided to try The Best Breakfast and Sandwiches which is in this tiny plaza in the middle of nowhere Westerville. It has diner food and is run by a nice little family. It was really crowded (I think partly because the show aired this week) and everyone seemed a little frantic, but our waitress was super nice and speedy. Dan got an omelette and I got chocolate chip pancakes. Did you hear that? Chocolate chip pancakes! It wasn’t one of my finer moments and for the rest of my day I felt like I had eaten 14 doughnuts covered in ice cream for breakfast, but at the time, it was pretty tasty! We’ll be back, but next time I’ll make it blueberry.
Beth, the Portland places were Tin Shed and Helsey’s. Ever been?
P.S. Dan thinks the plural of breakfast is breakfastses. Say it out loud. You can’t not laugh.
“Breakfastses” must be a Cincinnati thing. I used to make fun of my old co-worker for saying it that way! Ha!
it sounds like breastises.
Uh, I’ve been to the Tin Shed once or twice for dinner/drinks. It’s so far away, in NE, WAY up on Alberta… o so far. Like 4 miles, man. SO Portland-far.
I didn’t even know they did breakfast.
I’ve never heard of the other one, but I just checked and it’s also on Alberta. Those PBS folks are slackers, I’d say. Or biased about their neighborhood. Like me.
Yeah, ha, they actually interviewed a girl that lived in SE and was all, “I come all the way up here for this!” Haha.
