Remember how we won two free meals at The Taste of Seaside's Breakfast Club booth? Well the morning after the event we decided to check it out. A lot of my friends have tried it before and all have said really great things about it....
The inside was big - lots of tables. When we got there, we waited behind two other groups, but everyone was seated fairly quickly. While we waited I enjoyed a cuppa coffee.
I brought the coffee with me to the table and kept asking for refills! They have the best creamer selection at The Breakfast Club. Coffee-mate? Are you for serious? I lovooovovoeeeee Hazelnut Coffee-mate! Nicole knows. Anyways, free coffee refills + hazelnut creamer = dangerous combo. Check out the other goodies they have - Pepper Plant Hot Sauce AND Cayenne Pepper shaker? SO AWESOME!
psst they also have a special stash of Tapatio and if you ask nicely they'll give it to you.
Kyle and I split the mixed berry + banana waffle. YUMMMM
Second pick: an omelet with biscuit & (spicy) gravy on the side and breakfast potatoes.
Honestly, this all happened so long ago I don't remember what was INSIDE the omelet. I remember it being yummy. I'm guilty of always choosing the waffle/pancake/crepe over any sort of omelet/scramble so I think that justifies why I can't recall (?)
After breakfast we drove from upper Seaside to the McDonalds in lower Seaside to park his car and pull out Murray - my shining tandem bike.
All aboard!
We rode the coastal trail through Cannery Row area and continued towards Pacific Grove.
Pretty...
The sun started to come out and views across the bay were gorgeous. I love riding the tandem bike!
On our way back into Monterey, we parked the bike near Cannery Row and walked around.
We popped into a random magic shop and peeked around. Strange stuff in there!
It was the same weekend as the Red Bull U.S. Moto Grand Prix at Laguna Seca so Cannery Row was FULL of crazy cool looking motorcycles and lots of biker dudes.
I'm pretty sure this was the same day we ducked into Cannery Row Brewing Co up the street and tried one of their house brews. They have over 70 beers on tap so I knew I wanted to do a return trip soon (plus their menu looked awesome).
PS I went back with Katie (read her recap here) and plan on writing up about that too!
For dinner we decided to try our own take on a Thai dish. We chopped up lots of veggies.
That looks like a potato, but I don't remember (nor can I figure it out from the picture haha)
The sauce we relied on to bring it all together.... it wasn't all that good to be honest. The red curry flavors just fell flat.
Add some chicken....
With Trader Joe's brown rice....
And a cupcake to finish it off a la Hugo from LOST. Bottom goes on the top to make a sandwich. These red velvet cupcakes were SOOOO good.
