Cafe 222-San Diego

I had high hopes for this place and this was Bobby Flay's Best Thing I Ever Ate- Wake Up Call Selection.  When we arrived, the inside was already full.  It wasn't that hrd to do considering that the actual restaurant was teeny tiny. It worked out well for us though, because we got a seat on the "patio" and even though it had been raining, it was at least airy.

We ordered what Bobby did- Peanut butter and banana stuffed french toast.  Upon recommendation, our second entree was the homemade corned beef hash.

Let's start with the coffee.  Surprisingly weak.  It was a disappointment to true caffeine addicts like ourselves.  How do I know this?  Because Mayumi kept reminding me that it was $2.75 :)  Next the french toast.  Now all things considered, it was not bad.  The bananas are mashed so fine you cannot tell where the bananas end the peanut butter begins.  However, beyond that, it was just good french toast.  Certainly not the best french toast I've ever eaten let alone the best breakfast.  Bobby Flay, seriously?

And then the corned beef.  Yes, the hash was housemade.  They included potatoes, carrots, and green peppers.   However, there was more hash than corned beef.  It tasted almost like a potato pancake infiltrated with corned beef.  It needed more bite, more texture.  A disappointment.  How big a disappointment?  Well, we did not finish either and packed it up to give to the homeless.
