Fantastic breakfast at the OG Pancake House

So we woke up late this morning and decided to head to Ballard for pancakes at the Original Pancake House. We have been a few times before, but today is the first time I have tried the omelets, which are downright amazing.

I had the plain cheese omelet and my wife had the ham and cheese omelet. Both come with three pancakes and toast or home fires. They make a 5 egg omelet that is fluffy on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. Mine was a perfect mix of aged cheddar and eggs, while my wife's also had an ample helping of ham added to the mix. The omelets were so big I had to get a box, I will eat the other half tomorrow. In the past service was a little slow, but today it was good.

The pancakes are always perfect. I had banana pancakes that were not too full with filling. I still have some left for tomorrow as well.

If you are in the Ballard area I'm sure you already know of this busy breakfast spot. If you haven't and you don't mind a wait(15min for us today at 11:30am) check it out. You can also call ahead to get in line, but your whole party must be present to be seated.

Dinette

So on Friday after we went to see "Leatherheads", which was kinda disappointing to me, but not a total waste of time, my wife and I went to dinner at "Dinette" . We haven't been back there since we moved to West Seattle and I must say it is still as good as I remember.

The toast is amazing. I took a photo with my phone, but it looks terrible. We tried three of them. First the Crispy bacon, it comes with dates and blood orange mayonnaise. It is a great mix of the salty bacon and the sweetness of the dates an mayo. We also had the Herb Fritatta, an egg and herb fritatta cut into pasta-like strips combined with white truffle oil and lemon mayonnaise. We also had the special toast that was a tuna mixture that set my mouth crazy. From me I could go and just eat the toast, but we also had an entree.

The Gnocchi alla Romana For Two was wonderful. It wasn't gnocchi like I had ever had before, more like semolina squares, but it didn't matter. The veal bolognese perfectly complimented the dumplings. The dumplings a semolina and mozzarella exploded in my mouth with every bite.

For dessert we had the Banana upside down cake. Recently I can't get enough of cooked bananas. This was no exception. Like all the desserts on the menu, just great.

If you get a chance head to Dinette .
