Ode to the English Muffin.

These English Muffins in particular.

They are gigantic!

And they came from this fabulous restaurant.

It can be overwhelming at times in a city of roughly three and a half million people.

It's restaurants like this one that help you forget you're surrounded by thousands of people doing thousands of things.

You can go to this cozy restaurant, in it's cozy neighborhood, and truly chill.

While we were waiting for a table at the wine bar next door, we walked into La Grande. They were pulling out batch after batch of these gynormous English Muffins from the ovens.

I didn't pause, I just reached for my wallet.

I ate them with lemon curd, raspberry jam, and butter...

I ate them with ham, tomato, pepper jack, and guacamole...

And when I ran out of crepes, I ate them with warm cream cheese, peaches, almonds, basil, and sweet whipped cream.

And I didn't miss the crepes one bit...

fabulous!

Thank goodness for favorite cafes and restaurants!

'Til next week : )
