<Subject: Ever eat at a place you saw on Food Network?>

Yes, I did. I was watching "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" by Guy Fieri and
he talked about a place in downtown Portland that made the best Amaretto
French Toast. I LOVE French Toast and I LOVE Amaretto. I just had a friend
move to Portland and knew I'd visit eventually. She gave me a plane ticket
for my birthday and I visited a lot sooner than I thought.

I had put the address in my PDA for safe keeping. She knew exactly where it
was. I called and asked if their breakfast menu had a time limit. Person
on the phone said no. About 11am we headed over. With the trip and parking
we got there about 11:30am. Yes, you guessed it. I order the Amaretto
French Toast and the waiter politely told me that they don't serve breakfast
after 11am. I was ticked, because I just called a half hour ago and was
told no time limit. Told him I had traveled a long ways for their specialty
and he politely appologized and wouldn't budge. So, we ordered lack luster
sandwiches, but decided to come back the next day for breakfast. I really
didn't want to come back, but my friend, who always runs late felt badly.
She was the reason we didn't get there before 11am that day. She wanted to
bring me back.

The next day, same waiter, I ordered Amaretto French Toast. I was SO
disappointed. Other than a sprinkle of sliced almonds on the top one would
have never known it was Amaretto French Toast. It was good for French
Toast, but nothing special. So, I don't know what they did to make Guy
Fieri's mouth water, but mine didn't.
