Griddle Cafe

So on Saturday, my sister and I went to Griddle Cafe to meet up with a cousin who is in LA for the time being interning for a film company. Because he lives in Texas we don't interact with each other very often. Anyway, we decided meet up at Griddle Cafe. I looked up the ratings on Yelp, which were pretty good. I also have a slight inkling that Sabina, my old roommate and great friend, had mentioned the place to me before. I saw pictures of the pancakes and french toast. The size of these things is incredible. I salivated just looking at the pictures. I was ready to kill.


9am. Saturday, Sep 25, 2010. We arrived. The place was packed. It was quite a sight. I ordered a Black Magic (an oreo pancake) and my cousin a red velvet pancake. It was monstrous! The first bite of the black magic was like magic, black magic! It was heavenly, definitely endorphine and dopamine inducing. So good! The only downfall is that it's so large, you get sick of it quickly. But it was delicious none the less. I shared with my sister, and we were only able to get through half of it (albeit, I pretty much finished the rest at home). Saturday was just not my morning, because when I woke up that morning, my stomach was not happy with me. After consuming this giant type 2 diabetes pancake my stomach revolted against me. The ride home was the most painful ride I ever. I had the perfect, most legitimate and truthful excuse for the police if he was going to pull me over for speeding.

Anyway, the point is I think I like giant pancakes from Griddle, but only if four people come along to help me destroy the beast. It also didnt hurt that the server was incredibly cute. He really was.

I should be studying for my stupid class right now, but I decided to do this instead. Also, I just realized my pictures are really bad. The lighting was dim, and the flash on my computer just made things worse. Note the juxtaposition of my sister's hand next to the pancake. It really was as big as you think it was. 3 layers of pancake filled with oreos topped with some amazing whipped cream or butter or whatever it was.
