My last breakfast review from "back East" was from a nice local, neighborhood place in Dorchester (Dot) called Ashley's Breakfast Shoppes (sic, apparently a single "Shoppe" is not good enough). I have eaten here in the past with my brother Kerry on the way to Logan Airport. This place has good home cookin' crossed with a bit of Soul food.
I had the Veggie Omelet: peppers, mushrooms, br*ccoli ("the vile weed" rears its ugly head once again ~ it was bound to happen and I figured it was just easier to keep the omelet as it was listed), onions, tomatoes, with cheese. I had the side of grits ~ also with cheese. Nothing exceptionally special with the omelet, it was just very good overall.
Kerry had the Banana Pancakes (no need to "pretend like it's the weekend" as it really was, Jack), made with bananas actually in the batter for a change (sorry, Sean). This comes with 2 eggs prepared how you like 'em and sausage or bacon. They actually offer a turkey version of both and Kerry went with the turkey sausage.
You gotta love a place that offers an O'Bammie Special:
I am sure that is more food than that skinny little dude could ever eat in an entire day. (They also offered a Palin Special, but it is all ham ~ no substance, and comes with a side of used teabags.)
Glen Bacon Scale Rating: Veggie Omelet ~ 6.3; Banana Pancakes ~ 6.5 (per Kerry)
Soul food in MA? What's up with that?
