I was happy to switch plates with Brother Brian and help him finish his mini-burgers and potatoes. <BR/><BR/>Oregon Diner was also super fun. We had choice seating (for people watching and pastry browsing) and i had an elephant ear the size of my Beth Noelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07827803897265634355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38463018.post-72747245397508858262007-08-29T00:35:00.000-04:002007-08-29T00:35:00.000-04:00Hello to you too, Beth Howard!

The list begins and ends with the Earl who usurped tea.

I think it's one of those things where West Philly was so excited to have a brunch option, they gave it a unanimous thumbs up. <BR/><BR/>The food was just ok. I got the huevos rancheros, which was decent, but it didn't really have any kick. It was drowning in mild salsa, a good portion of which dripped off Nicole's plate onto my lap as it was served to her.

When the menu described them as being served on english muffins, with cheddar cheese and bacon, well, i guess i was expecting something a little more breakfast sandwichy. instead, i got two not-terribly-mini hamburgers (which beth helped me with in exchange for some of her french toast). <BR/>I've never really seen hamburgers on a breakfast menu, and i guess i brian g howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351934940256464212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38463018.post-29192509406923400952007-08-19T21:00:00.000-04:002007-08-19T21:00:00.000-04:00The tofu with a miso/orange glaze was nice, but no...The tofu with a miso/orange glaze was nice, but not much more. Crunchy on the outside, with well-cooked bits of squash and onion in the sauce. I should have asked for some hot sauce. I always should ask for some hot sauce. The salad that came with the tofu was drenched in a creamy white substance I didn't care for. A couple tastes of Brian's side of potatoes made me wish I had ordered a side of Jon Solomonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07011131373157261918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38463018.post-64383642077552646402007-08-19T19:43:00.000-04:002007-08-19T19:43:00.000-04:00Having read some unflattering posts on the citysea...Having read some unflattering posts on the citysearch site, I was a bit nervous that our large party would overwhelm those at Rx, but I needn't have feared.
