- You didn't ask me, but here I am anyway -- Homemade on Hollis is
- extinct and the Homemade Cafe is wonderful IMHO. Mexican eggs,
- waffles, french toast, and Italian eggs are the highlights. Good
- hash browns and great coffee. Bette's and Fat Apples are also
- excellent, but almost always there is a VERY long wait. I've eaten
- once at Rick & Ann's and Westside Bakery and was not impressed with
- the food in either case.
