Pork Store Café – 1451 Haight St.

The good: YES! Finally found a greasy-spoon breakfast place comparable to the ones we have back east!! The food is great, they have some interesting egg scrambles and omelettes, great toast and homefries, unreal fluffy pancakes, and they cook their bacon until its crispy just how I like it. If you get a chance, sit up on the bar stools and watch the cooks go at it. It is quite impressive the way they perfectly coordinate their moves and attack that grill. It's like a dance!

The bad: You may have to wait in a semi-obnoxious line if you show up mid-morning on Saturday or Sunday. Earlier or later and you’re usually fine.

The bottom line: Hangover or no hangover, but especially if you’re hungover, definitely head down.

The bathroom: I know I went in, but I can’t remember what it’s like. Sorry. Far too smug about being there to notice.
