- There's been some traffic here lately which I can't
- help but respond to:
-
- First, on the dining database posted by Saumya Meattle:
-
- Who would believe any list that gave the Sawmill (OK steakish
- sort of place) and Cafe Jacoulet (the best Pasadena restaurant
- of all time) the same rating? Jacoulet shouldn't be on the
- list in any case; it's been closed for at least 1 1/2 years.
- My call: wrong and out-of-date
-
- Secondly, on the topic of breakfast:
-
- I also endorse the Omlette Parlor on Main in Santa Monica.
- It's an institution.
-
- The tip (Thanks Howard Arthur Faye!!!) that Campanile serves
- breakfast is a revelation.
-
- On the topic of Pasadena breakfasts:
-
- Pieter Hazawindus starts out fine when he lists Birdie's,
- but things deteriorate from there. I have never liked anything
- at the Konditori, and if Pie and Burger represents Toledo
- cuisine, I might be happy to visit, especially for breakfast.
- The cinnamon and pecan rolls are great, and the only reason I
- don't go there more often is they don't serve breakfast very late
- (I think they close at 10 or so Saturday, which is ridiculous.)
- and it's hard to get in (always a very good sign).
-
- I recommend to Gaylin Laughlin to progress past the Old Town
- coffee and brioche and try the chocolate/fig French toast.
-
- One last breakfast tip:
-
- The best croissants in Pasadena are at Patticakes at the
- corner of Allen and New York.
