We were celebrating a Tubby Tummy birthday this week-end (Sweetie Pie's mother), so we decided to take a trip to the Pacific Dining Car in Los Angeles- our all-time favorite breakfast dining spot; and breakfast is available here 24 hours a day. The food is great, the service  impeccable and the ambiance "special occasion" nice. We were greeted right away, and promptly seated at our favorite booth in the front room.

The ladies both started off with the Buttermilk Biscuits- their favorite. PDC bakes them fresh and makes them good. I ordered the Rye Toast ( with Blueberry Jam). If you ask for it, you can get Blueberry Jam. I just love their Blueberry Jam. The Orange Marmalade and Strawberry Jam are also very good.

The ladies both ordered their favorite dishes. Sweetie Pie had a Ham and Cheddar Cheese Omelet with Cottage Cheese on the side. It was a very generous portion, loaded with Ham and Cheddar Cheese, and perfectly prepared. Her mother had the Eggs Benedict, picture perfect and delicious! Also with Cottage Cheese on the side. The ladies say that PDC's Cottage Cheese is the best ( I'll take their word for it). I decided to try something new. I ordered the Roast Beef Hash, made with tender Prime Rib and topped with a Poached Egg. With all that meat and potatoes, I just had to order a couple more poached eggs to throw on top. (Now that's a Burger Boy dish!). I also had my usual Sausage Patty Side. OMG- their Sausage is the best around. They make it in-house and it is good, great flavor and nice and spicy. My favorite dishes here also include the California Omelet and the Creole  Benedict.

Today's Pacific Dining Car breakfast gets three thumbs up from the 3 Tubby Tummys!
