My wife Cathy and I love to go out for breakfast on Saturday. Quite often, we search various web sites to
find interesting new places to eat breakfast.
It’s our favorite meal of the day, and after eating healthy Sunday
through Friday; we’re itching to indulge a bit.
And quite frankly, it’s cheaper than eating out for dinner.
Many times, I am limited to omelets. Not that I dislike omelets, mind you. I have had some tremendously flavorful omelets. But sometimes, I just don’t want to
have an omelet, but I still want to go out for breakfast. Sometimes, I just want…pancakes! And when I want gluten free pancakes, I go
to the Blue Moon Grill in Wakefield.
The husband and wife team of Nancy and Vinny Chiuchiolo owns
the Blue Moon Grill. They are open for
breakfast and lunch, and according to their website, serve breakfast all day.
When you go out to dinner, the person waiting on you will
bring a basket of bread, or maybe pickled vegetables. You never get anything for breakfast, right? Not here!
Every table gets a small bowl of fresh fruit. Very nice touch!
I’ve had many things to eat at Blue Moon Grill, but
yesterday, I went for the gluten free Blueberry Bliss pancakes. What’s a Blueberry Bliss pancake? Well, they take their gluten free pancakes,
and cook them with blueberries, dollops of cream cheese, and brown sugar cooked
right into the pancake. The flavor is
savory and sweet all at the same time.
Folks, to paraphrase Alton Brown, I’m not saying these pancakes are the
best things in the world for you; I’m just saying these pancakes are the best
things in the world!
During a visit a couple of months ago, I asked our waitress
to bring me something that she thought was the best gluten free item they
make. Out came gluten free eggs
benedict. So here’s what they did. They poached an egg, and put that on top of
some spinach and a tomato slice. Then
the whole thing sat on top of a silver dollar pancake. The egg was seasoned well and perfectly
cooked with a runny yoke that was hot, but not blazing hot so you would burn
yourself.
All of the their pancakes can be made gluten free. For your full gluten friends, my wife has had
the pancakes and the crepes, and loves both of them.
In addition, the service has always been great whenever
we’ve gone.
According to the dictionary, the definition of bliss is
supreme happiness. I call bliss the Blue Moon Grill.
