San Diego: Cafe 222

I am not averse to sitting by myself for a meal, especially when it's breakfast. The quandary at Cafe 222 is that everything looked good so I ordered TWO - the Peanut Butter and Banana French Toast (highly recommended by that guy Bobby Flay) and the Sweet Corn Waffle. Perhaps that warranted some extra looks from the Comic-Con passerby but I don't care. Both were delicious but yes, especially the French Toast which I expected to be too sweet but, well, at that moment, really hit the spot. Yes, it is gooey but the banana really does balance it well. The Corn Waffle is something I want to try playing with at home- kernels of corn mixed with a touch of cornmeal in the batter. It begged for a touch of something like jalapeno, but maybe that's just me. If you are going during that megafest San Diego Comic-con, arrive first thing in the morning or you will be standing outside watching people like me looking smug and wolfing down an incredible breakfast. And by the way, the service is so NICE. But that's San Diego for you.
