Yes! This post wins the thread. Manta ray machaca and coffee is the most delicious and civilized way to start the day.

Have to bring up a new idea that maybe we can get started in Baja. My geometry teacher from high school is my friend on Facebook, and asked everyone
today does a picture of food posted look appetizing. I answered him with a "yes" especially after seeing a clip from Yelp in San Diego on Hash House
a go go, a place in Hillcrest, that serves the latest and greatest heart attack breakfast, Fried chicken and bacon waffles!!! OMG!! ok guys I have to
say it sounds delicious...after taking a half a bottle of your friendly local statin medication from Farmacias similares, check this link out and let
me know if you like this idea for breakfast or not?

Don't know where Hillcrest fits into this but ....
There are to variants of this:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_and_waffles
Soul food version
The best known chicken and waffle pairing comes from the American soul food tradition and uses fried chicken. The waffle is served much as it would be
at breakfast time, with condiments like butter and syrup. This unusual combination of foods is beloved by many people who are influenced by traditions
of soul food passed down from past generations of their families.
Pennsylvania Dutch version
The traditional Pennsylvania Dutch version consists of a plain waffle with pulled, stewed chicken on top, covered in gravy. It is generally found in
the Northeastern United States.
History
The exact origins of this dish are unknown, although several theories about its origin exist. One such theory is that waffles entered American cuisine
in the 1790s after Thomas Jefferson’s purchase of a waffle iron from France. Recipes for waffles and chicken soon appeared in cookbooks. Because
African Americans in the South rarely had the opportunity to eat chicken and were more familiar with flapjacks or pancakes than with waffles, they
considered the dish a delicacy. For decades, it remained “a special-occasion meal in African American families.”
Other historians place the origin later, after the post-Civil War migration of African Americans to the North. Fried chicken was a common breakfast
meat, and serving “a breakfast bread with whatever meat [was available] comes out of the rural tradition.” The combination of chicken and waffles does
not appear in early Southern cookbooks such as Mrs. Porter’s Southern Cookery Book, published in 1871 or in What Mrs. Fisher Knows About Old Southern
Cooking, published in 1881 by former slave Abby Fisher. Fisher’s cookbook is generally considered the first cookbook written by an African American.
The lack of a recipe for the combination of chicken and waffles in Southern cookbooks from the era may suggest a later origin for the dish, although
it is also possible that the two foods were simply traditionally served together and were not considered a single dish.

Big Thumbs Up for Cocteleria Mazatlan
Their seafood is delicious and impeccably fresh.
Besides those insanely good stuffed clams, I love the oysters on the half shell.
Don't forget the bucket of beer - if that is your sort of thing at breakfast (as the guy on the TV show in response to a critical remark when he asked
for a drink, after arriving extremely jet-lagged, at 8:00 am, "Float a Cheerio in it!").

My vote is still for Las Cazuelas, on Delante just off Costero, next to the donut shop.
They have professional waiters, large menu,great food, and a homey, clubby atmosphere, similar to Malarrimo in GN.

I noticed a post by Pompano/Roger in that thread. Has anyone heard from or about him? He's been AWOL for a while.

On your way to Valle de Guadalupe there is a restaurant on the right in San Antonio de las Minas that has been recently redone called Leonard's and it
looks jammed packed with cars in the morning...I have always wanted to stop there. You know San Antonio is known for the mile high apple pie made
with delicious cinnamon sugar coated thinly sliced apples layered with cheese, irresistible when heated.

Yes I picked up the apple pie at the bakery near there, they have many delicious pastries there, and you can get the pie with or without cheese...I
think San Antonio de las Minas apple pie is better than any I have ever eaten, including back east and Julian pie. Has anyone eaten at
Leonard's? | Quote: | Originally posted by J.P.[/
