| - I can always tell when the weather has turned because A. we get the urge to eat outside and B. Grapefruit Moon is packed with a line-up.
This is one of many breakfast places in my rotation, usually getting a visit every couple of months. The first time we ate here was for dinner, but that was probably 10 years ago and we haven't been here later than 2pm ever since. The dinner was actually pretty good, as I recall, but we just never seem to get back.
I am a habitual eater and my habit here is Winston's Big Breakfast. Every time, including next time (although our server held out the possibility that I might try something new, once...maybe...). Actually, there is a really good selection of brunch items, including Blueberry Pancakes, Breakfast Quesadilla, heuveos Rancheros, Bacon & Eggs, French Toast, Grilled Cheese and more... but W.B.B. is where I put my vote. Eggs scrambled with a subtle amount of cheddar, bacon AND sausage (it is just wonderful not having to take sides in the breakfast meat debate every time I go out), nice chunks of potato well-browned, fluffy and always HOT. The toast (always multi-grain) comes very generously buttered, but you have to ask for jam. I almost never do but you can if it is a part of your complete breakfast. The jam is very good.
The home-made hot sauce gets its own line in the review, because it is just that good (although it was a little salty today...). Moderately hot, nicely spiced and generously provided. It is a thick-cut pepper sauce that stays put and adds a wonderful flavour to eggs and potatoes. Every time we eat here I say right out loud that THIS summer I am going to make my own pepper sauce... and then I realize that I am better off coming to Grapefruit Moon instead.
I drink the coffee here. I don't actually drink coffee ( I have never had Tim Horten's coffee and Starbucks is but a memory from the West Coast), but this is good breakfast coffee. Agent Cooper good. Today a woman came in for coffee to go. Know what she was carrying? Cherry pie.
