If Pine is busy just walk up to Petite Provence. While not on the cheap side it is on the "omg soo good" side.

I love that spot. We almost always end up getting sat in the upstairs area, back in the corner. Really good breakfast.
On Mississippi, everyone knows that Gravy is great. and it is. But lately it's gotten to about a 30-40 minute wait at its worst (usually it's around 10-20min, which isn't bad)
But across the street is Miss Delta, which almost NEVER has a wait and has fucking GREAT Breakfast. Really good Chicken Fried Steak, a chicken & biscuit sandwich w/ Egg...
Also, the FlavourSpot waffle-cart on Lombard apparently has some of the best, if not THE best, waffles in the city.

Couple different establishments. Be sure to check Petite Provence on Alberta.
You just reminded me Waffle House is good too.

Ok so Miss Delta if all else fails?
I definitely am on the egg based breakfast side of things. Love eggs, veggies, meats, breads/biscuits, etc etc. What about morning cocktails? Might be beyond our wallets, but it might come in handy.
EDIT: Good omelettes are hard for me to pass up on.

For $10 you get a day's worth of meals there. I fucking love Petite Provence. Why anyone would eat at those southern comfort hipster spots is beyond me.
"Here's some lard with a side of bacon! Enjoy! Would you like sourdough with that?"

Steak Benedict sounds intriguing. Its been too long since i've had a good monte cristo, but I'll have trouble passing up an omelette
When I ate at Petite Provence I didn't really like it. However, every single time I go to Screen Door I'm in heaven. Plus like, those chicken and waffles are easily two meals.
There is a wait (usually around 45 minutes honestly) but I mean, let's be real here people. Let's be real. Look at this delicious chicken.
That's what I had and it was pretty bleh. My egg was overcooked, there was only like one piece of bacon on it (yes, seriously) and the sauce wasn't too great. :/

On vacation here. It is amazing. Wish I went to college here, as nice as California is.
This one is phenomenal. The few places around town that do serve a monte cristo (Cadillac Cafe, Down to Earth Cafe, maybe one other I can't remember) don't even come close.

I cannot see myself ever waiting more than 10-15 minutes for a table. In Seattle you just go to some other great place to eat if there's a line.
45 minutes seems unreasonable to me.

Yeah. Brunch in this city is ridiculous. Most spots in this city have a wait on weekends, and the ones that don't usually are either hidden gems or aren't that hot, at least in my experience. City State is a pretty good spot that usually doesn't have much of a wait, I dig it there. Cricket Cafe is another similarly good spot that doesn't have much of a wait.

Ugh, I just know my friends are going to whine about prices...
I am much more interested in new food places than they are.

What's the deal with lack of beaches/pools in this town? I drove my ass around for like an hour and a half today trying to find a place to enjoy the nice weather and there's just nothing. Public pools are reserved for birthday parties? What the fuck? Ended up at Sauvie Island because I was already half way out in the NE so just said fuck it. That place isn't even that great either despite what online reviews might tell you. This is really the only thing so far that I've seen as a setback in the town.
Sauvie Island isn't great? WRONG.
Berry farms, pumpkin patches, beaches both nude and normal. Wrong. So wrong.

Maybe I'm spoiled by Minnesota lakes all my life, but all I saw was a whole lot of fields of nothing, over crowded (small) beaches with kids and dogs running around with no watch and all for an entry fee of $7? I mean to get lunch I had to get a $1.50 microwaveable hot dog at the over priced convenience store. Where's the restaurants? Why aren't they grooming the beaches with massive parking permit income they are receiving every day?
I didn't get a chance to check the nude beach, but my experience with those in Australia is about 10 to 1 in dicks to tits, and I don't see that ratio improving in the ever so prude America.

Going to the beach in the pacific northwest sucks, go to a river or lake instead.
Can't surf on a river or lake though. Plus some days on the Oregon beach are amazing.

Well if you're into surfing the coast is good for that. Otherwise Pacific Coast beach going unless it's socal is either cold, cliffs and or harsh sand.

Just found out that the house I lived in before I moved to California was bought by people who were eventually murdered there.
Hard to believe someone probably died in my bedroom.

Question: What's the best pho place in town? I've tried a couple, but the only one I really like is Pho Oregon on 82nd

Victory Bar had to pull out of the promotion, in fact. Demand was so high that they simply couldn't keep up.
This seems to be a pretty successful thing, I guess.
Widmer's Bourbon Bacon burger looks fucking insane.

I'm originally from Minneapolis but have been living in Sheboygan for the past two years out of college (went to Iowa State). Company I work for asked if I'd consider going to their smaller run business out here in Portland and I said yes. So here I am. What about you?
Went to trivia at Hops Haven on Broadway last night and won. That was kind of cool.

Flying out of Portland international airport tomorrow night for 6 days in California. See ya!
Pho Hung is good, but I heard too many weird rumors about them to go anymore. Pho An Sandy is probably my 2nd favorite. Pho Van is good, but kinda expensive compared to the rest, but it's definitely the "nicest" one. Pho Oregon is my favorite though. Especially since there's that little pastry shop right next door. I love getting a big bowl of pho and then going to the pastry shop to get a few snacks.
Right up front, let me state that I am no Pho expert, but I love nearly everything else I have had at Lúc Lác. Banh Mi, the Tofu Salad Bun. Amazing.
So worth a check out perhaps based on their other food. Someday I will have the Pho there and get back to you, but the other dishes are hard to get away from.
Also, it is gorgeous inside, and they have quite a talented bartender:

I'm very meh on luc lac. The only thing I really like about that place is that it's open late on weekends. The pho is really sweet and I don't recommended it. The Tom Yum soup is their best soup, the other dishes are ok. If you're in that area, I would just go to one of the Vietnamese food carts.

Went to Tilt for its $5 burger tonight. Pretty good, it's based off Big Mac and is comparable.

Before I flew down here to San Diego, I got food to go from Dick's Kitchen on SE Belmont. I didn't actually get the Burger Week burger, but the regular hamburger because you have to eat there if you order the $5 burger. What I got was really good, and their fries are good too. They also have good sauces. Recommended.
