If you ever have the pleasure of vacationing on Martha's Vineyard in
the Summertime there are a few things you must do; visit the Inkwell, eat some
chocolate from Chilmark Chocolates, have some pastry from the Black Dog Bakery
and wait over an hour for a table at Linda Jean’s for breakfast.
Every time I visit the island I make it my business to have breakfast
at Linda Jeans on Circuit Ave in Oak Bluffs. I hate to admit it but I think I
found a place that makes a better waffle than Mike's.
Recently I spent some time on Martha's Vineyard. I was fortunate to
have my film “Saving Malcolm” screened at the 2012 Martha's Vineyard African American Film Festival. So I decided meet a few friends for breakfast. Although
I haven't been to Linda Jean’s in over 3 year, I vaguely recalled they made a
very good waffle, so I had to see if my memory served me correctly.
I ordered my regular; Two eggs soft scrambled with cheese, turkey
sausage and that's right a waffle.
Although they make a great waffle, turkey seemed to be off limits in
this part of the world. Everything was either beef or pork, so I had to do
without my turkey.
The first bite into the waffle brought back shades of happy days on
Martha’s Vineyard. Immediately every waffle I ever ate ran through my taste buds.
I started to feel guilty for liking this waffle as much as much as I did. I
tried to compare it to Mike’s in Brooklyn and The Bookstore In The Grove but I
couldn't. The truth is they are all the best.
When I'm in Miami on Sundays The Bookstore in the grove is the place
to be, when I'm in Brooklyn then I have to have Mike's and when I'm in Oak
Bluffs Linda Jean’s is where I get it in.
I can’t wait to get back on that ferry to Oak Bluffs because I know I’ll be
at Linda Jean’s the next morning.
I thought my friend Liz and I were the only turkey burger connoisseurs around. It seems we have come across yet another turkey burger cognoscente. Like you, when I travel, I am always on the look out for a great turkey burger. So let me suggest to you a burger from The Cheesecake Factory. I happen to find their burgers are juicy and quite tasty. The burger comes with fresh mushrooms, garlic and spices,
ReplyDeletecarmelized grilled onions (the more the merrier) and a sauce that looks let mayo with herbs. All these textures and flavors together
simply explode in your mouth creating a feeling of ecstasy. One warning is that the burger can get a little soggy with the juices from
the mushrooms and onions. But,if you love turkey burgers I would say give The Cheesecake Factory try! Good luck!
