Feedbags: Dottie's True Blue Cafe

We don't care that we had to stand in line for an hour, feeling the crisp bite of the late morning air. Neither do we care that we were just like everyone else in line: from out of town (sorta). We knew what we were getting ourselves into. We have a long memory, having  tasted it almost 12 years before. Similarly bitter cold. Similarly long line. What would be set out before us on the formica countertop, as we sat gawking at the talents being exhibited by a multi-tasking/talented cook (pretty much a one-man show with a sidekick), was grilled cornbread paired with red pepper jelly, pulled pork omelette with hashbrowns, the chipotle beef omelette with aforementioned, amazing hashbrowns, one ginger-cinnamon-whole-wheat pancake and a side of chocolate chip and butterscotch French toast. Well worth the wait (again). 522 Jones St., S.F., CA
