Melissa gave her "A Time to Love" pancakes a thumb up. P.S. Don't you love her new hair cut?
An avid and enthusiastic consumer of food, I was quite curious about THE GRIDDLE'S mythical pancakes. Every local yocal knows about THE GRIDDLE. Where have I been? Phoenix apparently.
The lovely Cindee and I boasting our culinary delights.
Mr. Yazzie and I both concur that we had a lovely weekend. Food was part and parcel of our punctuated happiness. This weekend we tried two new places that should be placed on your To Dine List:
- Vegan Express of Hollywood (click for information)
- The Griddle of West Hollywood
The Griddle was a hoot. I usually avoid West Hollywood like the bloody Bubonic Plague due to the fact that parking is absurdly expensive. However, THE GRIDDLE has their very own parking lot!!! That alone is enough to make me a customer for life.
Melissa, Cindee and I met at the eatery around 10:15am on Saturday. The joint was already jumping with a long line waiting out the front door. We waited approximately twenty minutes, which wasn't bad at all. I called ahead in attempt to make reservations, they only do so for parties of six and above. So, the earlier you go the better. After we left, the line was like the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland.
THE GRIDDLE is best known for their Uncle Buck sized, larger than life pancakes. The three of us ladies opted for the short stack, which were still obscenely humongous. All three of us thoroughly enjoyed our selections if you care to cheat off of our menus.
- Ashley: "Scotch on the Rocks": Pecans, oats, butterscotch chip filled pancakes topped with whipped cream and powdered sugar. (Absolutely heavenly)
- Cindee: "Banana Nana": Brown sugar baked bananas inside buttermilk pancakes
- Melissa: "A Time To Love": Streusel, butterscotch chips and caramel filled pancakes topped with whipped cream and powdered sugar
