i have discovered the holy grail of fatty breakfast foods. you who read my blog must know by now that i have more than a soft spot for any and all types of breakfast fare (particularly benedicts). to you who share my same love--behold and enjoy the CREAM CHEESE OMELET! found at wallingford standard blue star cafe and pub, this new favorite goes by the name "the brazilian" and hosts cream cheese, green onions, and thick-cut bacon inside a fluffy egg casing.
on this particular visit, i was accompanied by the lovely s. blue star, however, has been visited by yours truly several times before. expect to find ample seating, traditional diner options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and somewhat gruff service. usually, i'm particularly tough on the friendliness of waitstaff. blue star, however, gets an easy out. the ladies who have helped me in the past have never been particularly chatty or smiley, but i'll be damned if my water and coffee aren't always full and my food doesn't come out way before i expect it. honestly, who can complain about relying on the good conversation of compadres and a full cup of coffee???
blue star also boasts a fair benedict (still nothing, sadly, compared to my favorite at glo's) and a pretty darn good biscuits and gravy (if minus some of the brilliant portioning and pizzaz at mae's), as well as some delicious options for those who enjoy a more sweet breakfast. s had the macadamia nut waffle with optional fresh pineapple topping, and the bacon and pecan waffles seductively beckon from the menu page. also, let's not forget that there are copious lunch, dinner, drink, and happy hour options.
bottom line: for good classic american diner food at any time of the day--blue star will give you something new to sample for many many visits. don't miss the raspberry freezer jam on the table--it's DELICIOUS!!!
