I wish I knew how to reproduce them. I agree that sitting at the counter and watching Kurt cook rocks. Too bad I rarely stay up late enough to make it there. (And I never get up early enough.) I live 10 minutes away by foot; I guess I shouldn't waste it the chance. I cannot believe how good the pancakes are at Dottie’s. I wish I knew how to reproduce them.

But all three is my idea of a great breakfast. I want meat and eggs at lunch, not when I first get up. I feel about bacon and eggs the way most Americans feel about smoked kipper. By the way, it wasn't a '20s "marketing" campaign so much as full-fledged propaganda by Freud's nephew, who literally wrote the book on Propaganda. In the new age of radio, everyone -- dare I say? -- ate it up. I will be in SF much of this coming week and will stop in at Dottie's.

The last day we were in SF when we got in there at opening, there was a bowl of it already on the counter for a special customer. What more could you ask for. Dottie’s has good oatmeal too.

Although actually, oatmeal for breakfast is pretty good if you put adequate amounts of butter in it.
