Bad Omelet

You’ve heard of Bad Lieutenant. This was Bad Omelet.

We at ELV don’t know how a place that calls itself the Omelet House can make bad omelets, but somehow this place manages.

Omelets are supposed to be fluffy, precise and folded over, not a bunch of inartfully scrambled eggs stuffed with “chorizo” of no particular breeding, or recognizable spice.

The cheap cheddar cheese tweren’t nuthin’ to shout ’bout neither.

And the home fries were greasy, as in: too greasy for ELV.

And ELV loooooves his greasy home fried ‘taters

And from where we wuz sittin’, it didn’t look like they’ve dusted the plastic flowers that decorate this joint, or changed the carpets, since 1982 — when we first discovered it at the corner of Rancho and Charleston.

But it wuz cheap then, and it is cheap now.

Too bad it ain’t any good.

Our small chorizo omelet cost $6.95.

Just thought you’d like to know.

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!

Our staff wishes all of you a happy and healthy 4th of July….

And we at ELV say screw the fireworks, go drink some (good) red and white wine, and we guarantee it’ll keep you from feelin’ blue.

To get you in the mood, click here and tell us if watching this movie trailer doesn’t bring a smile to your face….and get you thirsty.

Interestingly, after seeing Sideways one of ELV’s ex-wives commented that one of the characters (the super-needy stud) reminded her of you know who, while another ex- said she recognized us in the other guy (the nerdy, insecure drunk).

There’s a lesson in there which ELV prefers not to ponder.

Instead, it’s off to Marche Bacchus to get tanked…on anything but merlot.
