I’m going to do something so totally against my blog’s rules - I’m posting a breakfast review for Seatthole. Please forgive me, fellow Portlanders. I will not let you down next time, I promise.

It was 11am when we checked out of our hotel in downtown Seattle. I had heard that a restaurant called The Dish (located in Fremont) was quite good, so we decided to drive there and check it out. Unfortunately The Dish was about the size of my closet and there were 10 groups ahead of us on the waiting list with parties of 5, 7, etc. No thanks! We drove back to downtown and headed to a famous Seattle landmark, Minnie’s.

Awww, Minnie’s. I have such fond memories of eating breakfast here in college late at night. Minnie’s is open 24 hours a day, which means if you go after midnight, you will probably be seated next to drunks and crack whores. It’s got a certain charm, though. Every time I go there, it’s like visiting an old friend. Kara and I had fun retelling old stories of going to Minnie’s during Bumbershoot.

Kara had the eggs benedict. She said it was delicious but very rich. I stole a bite and I would definitely agree with her.

I had the brioche French toast. It was made from croissants and each bite was like a big taste of awesome. I was incredibly impressed with this meal, considering that Minnie’s is not known for being the best breakfast in Seattle. People go to Minnie’s because it’s fast and in a convenient location when the bars close.

If you find yourself under the Space Needle and you are craving breakfast, Minnie’s is an old friend that you can rely on. It may not be the best breakfast in town, but at least you won’t have to wait 5 hours to eat.
