Nothing Like a Good Greasy Spoon

January 23, 2010

After a couple of weeks of foo foo fancy breakfasts, I decided to return to my roots for a good ol’ fashioned greasy spoon – the way breakfast was meant to be.  After all, as mentioned in the “About Mike” section, I am just as likely to love a fancy brunch as I am a [...]

Boat Street Cafe: Biscuits, Hollandaise, Bacon, Oh My!

January 19, 2010

Okay, so I don’t know what’s with this whole French thing, but it seems like I’ve been on a real French kick lately.  Perhaps, it’s just because I recently watched It’s Complicated, but if I start wearing a beret, please somebody say something.
This past weekend, I crossed off another restaurant from breakfast spot to-do list and [...]

Volterra is good for breakfast too – who would of thought?

Breakfast with Mike goes to Longview, WA

July 5, 2009

This past 4th of July weekend Beakfast with Mike was at the Oregon Coast attending a wedding.  While at first excited to be staying at the Holiday Inn Express and having fresh cinnamon rolls and biscuits & gravy every morning, I found that it didn’t quite live up to the standards of my refined breakfast [...]

Breakfast with Mike Goes to Scottsdale

June 17, 2009

Last weekend, I went to Scottsdale and had a chance to try one of the most popular breakfast joints down there, The Breakfast Club.  The restaurant was very cool in that they specialize in breakfast and was very crowded so it must be good, right?  Well, they definitely had a more attractive staff then any [...]
