breakfast blogger

*yawn streeeeetch growl* The unofficial blogger hiatus I’ve been on has to stop. There is too many beautiful breakfasts out there that need to be shared, like this little gem, The Elite in downtown Penticton.

It was the signage out from that caught my eye the first time I went in there. Breakfast all day. That morning, that was all that mattered. We wanted to eat and eat now. The place looks like it’s been there forever and the 75th anniversary sign in the window confirmed it loud and clear. After walking in and drinking the decore for a few moments, I could have sworn I saw Archie Bunker sitting at the horseshoe shaped counter reading his newspaper and having a coffee. In the 75 years since it’s been there, I don’t think they redecorated more than once, back in 50s. There are old 45s decorating the gold walls, a cabinet of old classic coke memorabilia and a warm old stool diner feeling. Its glorious. Peabody would love it.

The menu was just a nice plain classic menu with all the breakfast standards for the early 1950s.

Of course I was having some camera issues and wasn’t able to get a nice shot of the inside of the menu, so you will just have to picture a large page of various combinations of eggs, breakfast porks, toast, hashbrowns, pancakes and waffles. I went for the choice that included most of the above.

The combination of the relaxed and efficient service and a nice hot, uber filling breaky has made this my fave spot in town to go for a breakfast feed.
