mmm-yoso!!! is the blog where Kirk, ed (from Yuma) and Cathy write about food they ate. Today it is Cathy writing.
Hi. I've been under the weather for a while now, as Kirk has, and just didn't post. This morning The Mister and I were awake early and decided to have breakfast at the Original Pancake House. It is a National chain, but no matter which location we have gone to, the food is always excellent. Fresh and of high quality. 
The restaurant opens at 7 a.m., and by 8:15, there is a waiting list to be seated. All of the locations are decorated in this traditional decor.
Right down to real, heavy, quality, matched silverware on the tables.
The tables all have appropriate condiments.
The coffee (Boyd's brand) is served with *real* cream. Of course.
However, additional condiments, appropriate to your order, are also brought out.
Yes. The Mister ordered the German Pancake ($9.90), A larger version of the Dutch Baby, an oven baked delight that can be accompanied with fresh lemon juice, powdered sugar and, of course, real butter.
The pancake is eggy (it is baked, rises and falls; that's why it looks that way-a collapsed souffle) and thin, crepe-like and the plate it is served on (the one you can't see) is 12 inches in diameter. Huge.
I love the bacon, link sausage and patty sausage are wonderful here-the bacon is thick and smoky and cooked to just the right amount of crispiness, while remaining chewy, sausages are lightly but properly seasoned…but today I wanted an omelet. Not a too traditional omelet. The omelets here are prepared properly- hugely (as in about 2 inches thick) fluffy and soft on the interior but the crust is a touch crispy…like French Toast…
The corned beef omelet ($10.56) – house made corned beef…finely diced, flavorful corned beef, mixed with finely diced potatoes and finely diced onion. Mixed with both Swiss and Cheddar cheeses. All inside this fluffy omelet. Served on that 12 inch plate also. A the 12 o'clock position of the plate is a slice of The Mister's German pancake. We share.
Then again, this is the Original Pancake House. The omelets come with 3 buttermilk pancakes. Which are really good and filling, all by themselves. The syrup is *real* maple syrup, and is served warm (on that condiment plate with the lemons/butter/powdered sugar).
Sometimes, I am so disappointed in myself. Like when I can't finish all the food on my plate…
