The 2 x 4 - Keltic Kitchen Quest part 1

The 2 x 4 is my favorite breakfast at the KK. I've gotten it every time I go and consists of all the things you should judge a good breakfast place by:

• 2 Eggs
• 2 Buttermilk Pancakes
• 2 Irish Sausage Links
• 2 Rashers (Irish Bacon)

This plate can of course be customized. Eggs any way, regular bacon instead of rashers, etc.

I always get my eggs scrambled, and they always amount to more than 2. They are always good, not runny or anything, and I am pretty sure they are beaten there. Either way, they're delicious.

The pancakes are giant. They have perfectly crispy buttery edges and a fluffy delicious middle. Served with whipped butter, a light dusting of powdered sugar, and 2 p.c. Smuckers pancake syrups they are quite possibly the best pancakes I've ever had.

Irish sausage. So freaking delicious. Dip it in syrup or eat it as is. Either way it gets my carnivore-seal-of-approval.

I love bacon. It's no secret. Those of you who know me know that if it came between saving you or a plate of bacon, well..... sorry guys. The regular bacon at KK is good. It's crispy and chewy and delicious. Rashers, however, kick bacon's ass up and down the street on a daily basis. It's like ham and bacon got married and the resulting offspring is the rasher. Mostly meat with just the right amount of fat to be bad for you, I suggest you get an extra order because you'll love them so much.

Of course you can't kick off a breakfast blog without mentioning the coffee. It's delicious and bottomless. There is a plethora of creamers on the table ready for action, sugar on one of those awesome giant sugar shaker thingys, and plenty of sweet&low to be had.

The KK 2x4 gets an A+

Keltic Kitchen - A Quest

So it seems every tuesday (or thursday as today's case might have it) we keep finding our way to the Keltic Kitchen. For those of you who live on The Cod and don't know the 5W's and 1H where the Keltic Kitchen is concerned, please eat there, move away, or die.

The Keltic Kitchen is only the best breakfast / lunch / breakfast place on Cape Cod and possibly MA, and likely the entire united states. Maybe even the world. An awesome welcoming atmosphere, friendly waitstaff, open kitchen, lots of delicious food, fair prices, and magic dripping from the walls. Go there. Hurry. Run if you have to.

So I was thinking of the possible ways to approach this blog, and I had a glorious idea. My first assignment will be eating through the Keltic Kitchen's (here on in known as the KK) menu, one dish at a time. I = awesome.

Maggie, I hope you assist me in my journey. You take on the vegetarian dishes, I'll take on the bacon (or better yet, the rashers).

The Birth of a Breakfast Blog.

I love going out to breakfast. Who doesn't? You pretty much have to not have a soul to hate starting your morning with food someone else cooked for you.

My friend Maggie and I started a pseudo-tradition of going to breakfast before work on tuesday mornings. It's a nice time to formulate plans, discuss the looming day, make fun of people and things, and otherwise puts us in a good mood before we have to go to our jobs and deal with the part of public that isn't pouring us coffee in a pleasing manner.

So, one day, over my Keltic Kitchen pancakes, Maggie says "we should have a newspaper column where we rate breakfast places" which is when I threatened to start this blog. I've seen my threat through Maggie. I win.

Anyways, I still haven't decided how to approach this, other than eating food, telling you how delicious it is and stealing the hilarious idea for a title from maggie (some of you will get it, others will not).

And there you have it, the birth of a Cape Cod Breakfast Blog.
