The custest little pancakes west of the Mississippi



Check out these cute little pancakes! They were so adorable, I almost didn't want to eat them. But I did. And they were deeee-lish!



Last week, while we were in San Francisco, we ate at this restaurant called Sears Fine Food. It's just a few steps away from Union Square. Tanna wanted us to meet him there for a late breakfast in between his meetings. And so we did.



I wasn't sure what to expect. Tanna said the place was known for a good breakfast. Now, I am not a big breakfast person, but I do love me a nice pancake. So that's what I ordered. The "18 Swedish Pancakes." I didn't know what I was going to do with EIGHTEEN pancakes, but I thought I'd give them a try. (Tanna got some sort of omelet, which he thoroughly enjoyed.)



I had no idea that this place was known for its pancakes--yes, "Sears' World Famous 18 Swedish Pancakes," served with warm maple syrup and country fresh whipped butter. (I just ate mine plain, of course.) These babies are served at all hours, and I can see why. First of all, they are so cute! I didn't realize they'd be so little. They are bite-site--small enough to eat in one bite if you need to (like, if you are tending to a toddler at the table), and large enough to cut up if you need to. They are quite yummy--you should try them if are ever in the area. I got mine with a side of bacon (for Kate--she loves bacon and most meat).



They were so good, in fact, that I went back a couple of days later when it was just Kate and me. I was a little nervous to eat with Kate by myself in such a busy restaurant on a Saturday morning, but she did pretty well! She loved her bacon, and I loved my pancakes!
