Looking back

The SD Foodie take

Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.

One oval plate carries the whole morning: scrambled eggs, a long strip of bacon, powdered French toast with a pat of butter, an English muffin and breakfast potatoes.

The breakfast post itself only says Pacific Beach. Thirty minutes later Roger posted a sunny view of the sand and pier, saying he was eating at Kono’s Cafe. The plate and the beach photo belong to the same morning, and the beach photo is what gives this record its place.

The quick critique

What stood out

  • French toast, eggs and bacon on one plate
  • A true big-breakfast portion
  • A sunny beachfront morning

Bottom line

Archive verdict

A classic Pacific Beach breakfast — big, simple and eaten within sight of the water.
