Thought this was cool! Don’t remember where I stumbled on it. Because of the propensity of hot dogs to cause choking due to their shape, there is a call for a redesign of the hot dog. Just thought it was cool.

Cool post. I still long for the red miso that chef David used to make (taught by chef Masa Hosonuma) back at Mikado on Scottsdale & Camelback in the old days.

Man I love this place… It’s only breakfast but I love it.

I cannot bring myself to deviate from my standard - The Hog & Chick. Awesome bacon perfectly cooked, perfectly cooked over easy eggs, wonderful thick toast & fresh preserves, fresh squeezed OJ and the thing that cements my addiction - the hash browns.

The hash browns are the subject of another holy war on Chowhound (like gelato). Some love them. Some don’t. I do. The main piece of contention is that some think they’re too wet. This is one of the things I love. Crunchy on the outside and a bit wet on the inside. You’ll have to make your own determination.

The one thing I find with people that don’t get Matt’s is that their expectations are all out of whack. It’s just breakfast. Great breakfast but it’s just breakfast - don’t go in thinking crazy esoteric ingredients. It’s just breakfast. And then hopefully you’ll enjoy it as much as I do.

Finally made it to Royal Coffee at the Market. The store itself was closed but we took a quick peek. It definitely looks cool. Looks like a good spot to get lunch in addition to do a quick shop.

Royal itself was great. Had a wonderful latte. Tasted great, looked beautiful. Really liked the decor and ambiance in Royal Coffee as well.
