PalacePrincess Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 does this have to be about specific restaurants in ottawa or are we just talkin' the actual foods? because if just foods are included, i must nominate the almighty monte cristo! (if anyone doesn't know what that is, it's basically a ham & cheese melt -- usually swiss cheese -- made with french toast instead of regular bread). yum yum yum! as for beloved grease pits, come on by to jimmy's lunch in the k-dub.

bradm Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 I remember a sandwich called the "French Dipt Ham & Cheese" at Diana Sweet's, a downtown Toronto restaurant back in the 1970s. It was a ham and cheese sandwich, but was dipped in batter and deep-fried. Lord a-mighty, it was good.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 I'm not picky. I think most places make a great greasy breakfast. It's gotta be the hardest meal for any restaurant to fuck up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.Huxtable Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 MMmmm I love Monte Cristos.My favorite breakfast spot is StoneFace Dollies. But we've been going to Mello's on Dalhousie lately as well. Night and day really, Mellos is a greasy spoon diner. So good.Breakfast also means dim sum to us now. Chu Shing or Mellos are where we gravitate to.Come to think of it, we never really used to go out for breakfast. We made yummy BLTs and fruit bowls every Saturday and Sunday. Now we've eatten out every weekend for months. What's the matter with us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 I'm not picky. I think most places make a great greasy breakfast. It's gotta be the hardest meal for any restaurant to fuck up.I find a lot of places don't get the home fries right, as I want them to be crispy, and too often, they're mushy and just heated through.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey Boy 2.0 Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 (edited) Bram is good, we used to hit Fil's quite often as well, that's good stuff. The pub beside it has a "Hangover Cure" on the menu for about $7 which includes a caesar.brilliant Edited November 2, 2006 by Guest stuffed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.Huxtable Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 I've had some pretty nasty breakfasts. It may be the hardest meal to fack up but it can still be facked up. For instance, never go to the chain Mike's. *Shudder*.Also deep fried home fries are not what I consider homefries. For gawd sake grill those fackers.I don't know why Jimmy, invite your ass over. Fack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meggo Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 elgin street diner has nasty ass homefries. they're all poofy and weird. zak's isn't too good either. i have been to jimmy's PP! with a dubious crew, esau and zephyr and andy i think... our waitress was about 100 years old and she put esau in his place, it was classic!i agree with ms hux about stoneface - it's been way too long since i had one of those brie omelettes. mm!i don't know that i've been to any good greasy spoons in ottawa! bramasole is close though, maybe i'll try it out one of these days...

MarcO Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 btw, breakfasts are ALL about the homefries. Fuck those up, you're useless.Anyone can fry up some sausages but the homefries tell the whole story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djmelbatoast Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 I'd say the holladaise sauce is the most important aspect of a good breaky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 I tried to make my own hollandaise sauce...big mistake! But really I think that adding salt during the process was the big mistake. I'll try it again, without the salt...until the end.I absolutely looovvve breakfast...for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. That Greek restaurant on Prince of Whales at Baseline is good, but I really prefer making my own. Eggs Benny with bacon-bacon (ie: not back bacon...although that's still nice), Lynnie's homefries, and a fruit salad. Ok, so favorite greasy breakfast....McD's saucy muffin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 The two times I've been to Bramasole I've found it disgusting. The last time I was there was perhaps a year ago on a weekday, had a really weak omelette I think...The Manx has excellent breakfasts in Ottawa, as does Von's and (surprisingly) The Lieutenant's Pump. Lots of benedicts there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberdinghy Posted November 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Brad...Bramasole does crispy home-fries...but...to that, they are then grilled with onions and green peppers, and my bro's secret spices...Good god...However. Stone Face Dolly's makes a mean grilled potato...too bad the last couple of times I've been there it's been lousy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
