Breakfast With Steve

I figure it’s time I started talking breakfast over here at Breakfast With Steve. That’s right, I’m talking two eggs any style (scrambled, over easy, or medium poached depending on the day) some sort of fried meat or alternative, homefries, toast and coffee. It’s really the only way to start a kick-ass day of rockin’ on the road.

This particular breakfast went down October 5th, 2006 and is one of the breakfast highlights of last year. Small Sins has played the Doug Fir Lounge a few times, and I can only describe it as an “Indie Rock Resort.” What other motel/resaurant/venue can you eat every meal at, get a haircut, buy sunglasses, get a massage, play a show, have some cocktails, do laundry and sleep comfortably in?

Anyways, on to the breakfast. The eggs were perfectly fluffy, cooked just right, and served hot. The toast was a delicious multigrain, pre-buttered (a must for melting the butter) and served with jam. The peppered bacon was equally delicious, nice and thick without being too chewy. Lastly the homefries were seasoned with some sort of herbs (rosemary, methinks) and were slightly crispy and mealy at the same time.

The Doug Fir has great coffee, and someone is always checking to see if you need a refill (free, natch) and every table has a big bottle of water as well. The servers are smart with out being smart-alecs, and the decor is beautiful, like a futuristic log cabin. I can go on, but I’m just getting hungrier.
