I’ve got an old friend staying at the Safari Inn this weekend, and I’m looking for a Sunday breakfast place where we can eat and catch up. She only eats organic eggs and no chicken (there’s some sort of allergy issue).
Any suggestions on places with great breakfast food, that has a selection of not-egg dishes? Or is there an organic restaurant semi-close by we can go to?
I’ll be the transportation, and we have about a three hour time frame. They’re visiting from Portland, so there’s a lot of the farm-to-table culture that they can get at home…
you might try olive and thyme or bea beas. don’t know if the eggs are organic but you
can call and ask.
mind you, i enjoy the salads at olive and thyme, and recall having some sort
of egg thing there that was good.
ol kevin was always a fan of bea beas…me, not so much.
“great food” and “burbank” are not typically in the same sentence.
I’m thinking about it, but they open at 10:00. The friend’s have requested to be back in their hotel for wedding and family event primping at 12:00. I don’t want to feel rushed…
For breakfast I took my party to Olive & Thyme, except they were closed! We had parked the car, so we went to the first place open, in walking distance. This was Simple Things. The food was passable, but the restaurant was not too crowded or too loud, and we had a really great time catching up.
Thank you one and all for your thoughtful replies. I am sorry I didn’t get better food, and elated to have spent time over coffee with an old friend.
i’m going to cop the blame for this. i stupidly ignored or didnt notice the “sunday” part of your request.
dopey moi wouldnt have brought up olive and thyme.
Oh, I’m sorry in the selfish sense. I am apologizing to myself? The timing and location of this visit was tough. Simple things for breakfast one day, and yesterday we had Don Cuco’s for dinner.
(There are reasons! We were trying to wedge in a meal after a 1:30 Warner Bros tour, and their need to get to Burbank airport by 6:30. It was Labor Day Monday and I needed an easy place to meet. Oh god that food just is not good.)
