Slog - Comments on Your Morning Glory http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/04/your_morning_glory Breakfast brings out strong feelings in Stranger readers. Many people wrote in to say we missed their favorite bacon or otherwise fell down on the job in this past week's Food Fight! Morning Glory Edition. We can't eat every strip of bacon in the city (much as we'd like to), so here are some of your thoughts. From the irate Mr. [name redacted] (sic throughout): You all F'd up! How can you not even mention the 5 Spot in your best breakfasts in Seattle? The Dish? There biscuits and gravy can't touch the 5 Spot's. The biscuits are big...

I was going to write in and complain about the hipster and yuppie bias that kept almost all mention of diners and pancake houses out of the article. Where was Cyndy's House of Pancakes on Aurora? Pancake Chef in Sea-Tac (now there's some biscuits and gravy)? Pancake Corral in Bellevue?

The gravy is far too tangy in my opinion.

That's nice to know. I'd assumed it had been demolished in favor of something "upscale" or "world class". I've had no use for Bellevue since they tore down the Dairy Queen.

The Olympic Hotel used to do a Sunday Brunch that would make Salty's look like a McDonalds Big Breakfast. I'm not sure if they still offer it anymore.

(He was not there the last time I was there.) And before he worked at Hi-Life, just up the street from Senor Moose.

In which case, it almost becomes a bargain.

Man, that place ruled.

While I've never had bacon at the 5 Spot (vegetarian, duh), and their dinner can occasionally not be worth as much as they charge for it, I have NEVER had a bad breakfast there. And their Irish coffees are perfect. Yum.

Cause then it would be even more crowded there on the weekends. Their Bloody marys are the best in the city.

And pancake corral is the shit.

I hate bacon. It’s bacon this, bacon that, all the gd time, everywhere I go! When did it become so fucking hip to profess your unyielding love for bacon at every single gd opportunity?

ENOUGH already! Can we talk about sushi or something else, lard asses.

PS. have you seen how pigs are raised? do you care? do you know what compassion is? kthxbai.

Wooly Pigs are nice to theirs, treacle.

Kill 'em and butcher 'em myself too. Good eatin', and the best and freshest bacon you'll ever have. If you city pukes ever want a good meal, come on by. I'll make you work for your supper, though.

It's sitting on my kitchen counter right now.

A small will yield breakfast and lunch, and it reheats great.

There are a few downsides to the 12th Ave: no hash browns, no liquor, and it's in Issaquah. But the Montana Hash is totally worth it.

(Come early, though, or all of the choice bagels will be sold out.) There have plenty of hardy, inexpensive breakfast foods and sandwiches for the non-kosher among us, too.
