It had to happen sooner or later. I have a miserable head cold and wasn’t up to the task of finding a restaurant and spreading disease to other patrons.
Very conveniently located for two people, I found this place to be an excellent choice this morning. The menu is a bit limited. The waitstaff greets you and tells you to “sit down and try not to sneeze on anything” and “you get what you get so I hope you like it”. My breakfast was complemented by imported Starbucks coffee, Zicam, and a Sunday Oregonian. The turkey scramble as you see it here is a mixture of Italian seasoned ground turkey, eggs, red pepper, parsley, diced garlic, tomatoes and cheese. The chef earns bonus points for the cinnamon roll, strawberries and bananas on the side.
Since both dishes were the same today, I will use this spot to give you a rare “behind the scenes look” of a breakfast chef in action. The blinding speed with which she creates the turkey scramble is too much for my cell phone cam to keep up with.
The food here is top notch, although I found the environment a little strange. This place had a petting zoo with a spoiled cat that makes a bed out of brown paper. I would highly recommend this breakfast, but I understand that reservations are nearly impossible to get since the kitchen is typically closed on Sunday mornings.

That looks good. Your lucky to have someone so nice. She could have gone off to breakfast and taken pictures of all the good food you didn’t get.
She looks so serious! She’s really giving those eggs a scramblin’!
Hey, guys. I just found you through Lindsay’s blog. You really need to get back into this and start posting again. Mike is a big “going-out-for-breakfast” guy (me… not so much… but every once in a while I give in), so it’s nice to hear about your first-hand experiences.
Andrea is spot on. It’s really too bad that you aren’t updating this blog any more.
If you are interested in restarting it come down to my place, Hilltop Cafe in Gresham, I would love to have a review on your blog.
