We went out for breakfast for the first time in Seattle!!! I love going out for breakfast, especially to places that have greasy hashbrowns, lots of eggs, and nice sausages or perhaps biscuits and gravy. We went to a place way uphill from us called Pete's EggNest. Next time I go up the hill on a nice day (which today was NOT), I'll take a picture of the view and post it. Anyway, my Pete's experience left me with such an impression that I started an account at Yelp.com and wrote a review. Let's see how that went...
"Disclaimer: We didn't actually get to eat there. We're new in town, and were trying our first breakfast place. We walked 20 minutes in the cold to get to Pete's with our baby in her stroller. The hostess took our name and said that we would figure something out about the stroller (which folds up). 15 minutes later, she came outside and said that we would be next, and that we would figure out the stroller situation. 10 minutes after that, my wife went in to check and was told that they couldn't accomodate us. Since it had just started to rain, we headed back home.
They could have at least come outside and apologized or something. This was pretty shabby."
Now "cold" is, of course, relative to the normal temps around here. What I didn't say was that we were hungry hungry, before we even left. That, plus the walk uphill, plus the wait outside with the smells, all left me pretty hot when we left. We could have made for another place up on the ridge, but we didn't know how bad the rain would get.
We ended up going into the co-op on our corner for some nice paninis, so it all ended well, but I burn with the fury of a thousand suns at the *string of expletives deleted* at Pete's EggNest, the breakfast joint THAT THOUGHT IT WAS UNTOUCHABLE.
