Yes you read correctly. I am now WAFFLE WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I travel restaurant to restaurant exploring the tastes of waffles and writing reviews. My first caper: Longhouse Pancake House in Gilroy, CA. After peering at the menu, I was ready to order. One Belgian Waffle.
I sat at the table a little longer with my awesome sidekick Peanut Butter Boy, waiting for our food. Suddenly, my waffle senses were tingling. The food was on it’s way. It was near. All of a sudden it popped into action on the table in front of me. I caught it with my fork and knife, before it could run away. Before devouring it, an examination was in play. Big, thick, square, and deep pockets full of nooks and crannies. Tired of looking and extremely hungry, I slapped a slab of butter and a pour of syrup on and started cutting. One bite in, I couldn’t control myself. I quickly cut and ate, cut and ate, cut and ate. Soon it was all gone.
I have to say … it was a pretty good waffle. I would give it a four and a half star rating. Definitely a waffle to try. Well tune in next time for THE ADVENTURES OF WAFFLE WOMAN!

On my trip to the track with my dad. We stopped in Fremont for breakfast. We came to this little restaurant called The Country Way. We decided to go there. It was fairly busy inside but we were seated in about 5 minutes. I looked at the menu and decided I wanted the pancakes with eggs and sausage. (bacon and ham were also choices) It was $7.15. ($5.15 on weekdays) My dad got Corned Beef Hash and eggs for $7.55.

While waiting for my food, we played a game with butter. We got one packet of butter and hit it back and forth to each other until I hit it to the lady’s foot sitting next to us. We were kind of embarrassed but got over i t when our food came. It looked so good. (For pics, see my last post here)

Unfortunately, it looked better than it tasted. My pancakes and eggs were really nothing special. In fact, they were kind of dry.The orange juice I ordered didn’t help. It tasted like orange Kool-Aid. However, the sausage was DELICIOUS! It was the bet part of my breakfast by far.

In conclusion, The Country Way is an alright place. With cool decor, and O.K. food. I would say it is a good place to go to, but don’t go out of your way to try it.
