Along with endorsing much of the above, I'll add breakfasts we enjoyed for a special treat at the original Original Pancake House in Portland Oregon in the late 70s. I was engaged in graduate work in summer school and we and our young children eventually dined our way through the menu over a couple of summers.

On one occasion, we even spotted one of the founders, Les Highet, eating breakfast at an adjacent table.

We returned there a few years ago and it still seemed as good as ever. On our long list of favorites are the Apple Pancake, the Dutch Baby, and the Danish Kijafa Cherry Crepes.
