The definitive time to enjoy yourself with pancakes is between the hours of 2AM and 3AM. They are good for breakfast, great for dinner, but there is something magical that transpires when they are consumed as a 4th meal WITH a bottomless cup of coffee. That last bit is mandatory. If you follow this blog and don't drink coffee, then I seriously suggest that you take some time off to cultivate the addiction. You will thank me at 4AM when you arrive safely at home thanks to your new best stimulent friend.
If you haven't guessed it yet, the pancakes from last night were sent directly on the A Train from Griddle Heaven. Blueberry and granola cakes w/ a side of home fries from the Cafe 217 (right near the end of Lark street in Albany (near the Dunkin Donuts )). The blueberry to batter ratio was off the hook and the berries were Eenormotron. For me that's the secret of killer Blueberry cakes. Just enough Jurrasic Sized berries. Too many and you got purple mouth, too little and you're just chompin' on batter. But the extra special gift in these babies was the granola. Such a subtle texture and flavor. They filled in the taste gaps between munches better than any other pancake additive I've had. And the home fries, let's all give it up for home fries, the master side item for many and all breakfast based dishes. They were exquisite. Coffee on the other hand, disposable. Let it be known that I will also be writing about coffee here at P&R. Just think of it as the unspoken "&C".
RATINGS:
Pancakes - Extra Large Stack
Home Fries - Extra Large Stack
Coffee - Short Stack
Service - Extra Large Stack
(This pancake review has been written entirely in the bath on the BlackBerry World Edition (as all pancake reviews should be)).
PS - I eat all my pancakes sans toppings and utensils. This includes butters and syrups, forks and knives. Adam M will be covering all topping based cakes.
Until next time,
Forks Up, Cakes Down
