After a quick stop at Matt’s buddy’s awesome studio, we headed to Voula’s Offshore Cafe on the say so of his (the buddy’s) lead assistant / weatherman … the producer / marketeer at the studio gave us the heads up as to what exactly to order, and we followed her advice.
Voula’s is in a part of town that someone said was the University District, but it seemed more like folks working the the marine industries, no university in sight. This is just a perfect greasy spoon. Simple, hearty, and famous for a dish called “the Hobo”, which is a mess of hash browns, eggs, sausage, peppers, mushrooms, onions, topped with cheddar cheese. It was awesome, but a couple more of those and there goes the boyish figure.
What was funny is that this place was featured on the Food Network’s road trip show, “Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives” … out of all the breakfast places we could have ended up at.
Definitely worth the stop, and maybe another on our way out.
