Can't Miss It: Weekend Edition Nov 20-22
A friend of ours asked the other day: "So, if you were going to have pancakes for dinner, where would you go? How about for breakfast?"
The one place we know of for pancakes is Ballard's Original Pancake House. We do love their Dutch babies. Unfortunately, they're breakfast only.
What our friend really wants, though, are good, homemade-style buckwheat pancakes, just like she grew up with in Minnesota California. Her husband is practicing, but hasn't mastered the old family recipe yet. In the meantime, she really craves buckwheat pancakes. For dinner. (Did we mention she's pregnant?)
Which means we have to ask you: where can you find good pancakes for dinner in this town? Please God don't let it be IHOP.

The all day breakfast at the Crocodile Cafe in Belltown is to freaking DIE for. My god just thinking about the biscuits are making me drool.
PS. Tell your legislator No NASCAR!
Maybe Beth's or Hurricane?
My favorite place for pancakes closed down (Mom's in UVillage), but I think the pancakes at the Chow Foods empire, specifically The Hi-Life, are pretty good.
There's Cyndi's on Aurora and like 105th. Dunno if they have buckwheat cakes, though.
Cyndi's does indeed due buckwheat, but I don't think they're open for dinner.
They have:
*buttermilk
*buckwheat
*blueberry.
And if you ask nicely, they'll do buckwheat & blueberry. That's my fave.
Portage Bay Cafe (U Dist/Roosevelt) is my favorite so far.
Shanty Cafe's (Elliott Ave) pancakes are surprisingly damn good.
At the risk of incurring the predictable "I'd never set foot on the Eastside" comments, the Original Pancake House in Kirkland is probably the best in the area. And I know more than a few Seattle folks who make the trip.
Can we eat there after watching some high school hoops tonight?
That is, if we want to grace the eastside with our Westside billz.
