So I was off on Sunday and I wanted to go out and enjoy my Sunday. I called up MuthaFckn_Sef and Hugo (my BOSS) and told them that we should get some breakfast. They both said "OK, where?". I had found this place well searching best pancakes in LA. They said okay, lets go. Soon we were off to The Griddle Cafe in West Hollywood. They're known for there breakfast.
So Sef and his little BIG brother Angle joined us, along with Hugo and family. We found the location and park the SUV's and walked through the back of the restaurant. We got seated really fast, with no waiting. The place was busy and load. We got seated and order me some OJ and pulled out the camera.
I had the "BANANA NANA". They are cooked with brown sugar-baked bananas cooked inside their butter milk batter. Oh so good, but its 3 HUGE pancakes. The pancakes are bigger than your head and failed with bananas. I shared my pancakes with Sef's brother. I also had the Chicago Charlie's Scramble. The scramble comes with 3 eggs, Italian sausage, potatoes, bacon, bell peppers, mozzarella cheeses, garlic, basil, and onions. Man the portions can feed 2 people.
Hugo had the Chicago Charlie's Scramble, with some of everybodies pancakes.
Letty had the BluesBerry Pancakes. Blueberry pancakes filled and topped with blueberry SOURCREAM yogurt and powdered sugar. I had a bite and it was really good. It looks funny because of the yogurt topping, but it was delicious.
Sef had the Hager Pangs. 3 eggs, Ham and Hashbrowns.
Well were eating Dr. Christopher "Chris" Duncan Turk from SCRUB walked in to eat. I wanted to ask him if we can take a picture but I didn't want to disturb him.
Location: Nice, Dine inside or outside. Parking is free and available in the Rite-Aid parking lot. A people watcher spot. Pet and bike friendly.
Price: It's a bit pricey for breakfast, but it's wroth it! Your looking at $10 to $15 plates. Drinks are $2.50 to $5.25.
Overall: Portions are really HUGE, can feed two. There was a wait outside by 11am, so try to get there before 10:30am and you'll be seated right away. Bigger groups are harder to get in, but we got in fast and it was 6 of us. The staff is great and friendly, although they forgot Pablo's order of eggs. But our server made sure he got his eggs fresh and ready to eat. I also notice that people came in dressed like they just woke up from a one-night stand. We seen women dressed in high heels and mini skirts for breakfast. Fix your make-up and hair before going out for breakfast :) Fantastic menu, very unique and original.
I got to say it was the best breakfast i had in LA.
I'm making myself hungry just writing about it.

After a huge breakfast and paying the huge bill we had to walk off the huge amount of calories. So we went to the Griffith Observatory. I've never been here but some of my favorite movies were filmed here.
Movies like:
Rebel Without a Cause starring James Dean
The Terminator Starring Arnold
The Rocketeer.
The People vs. Larry Flint
Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle
House on Haunted Hill (1999 remake)
Queen of the Damned
Transformers (2007 live-action film) Not a big fan of this move or should I say commercial
and
Yes Man with Jim Carrey and Zooey Deschanel. I love her....
Next time I come out here I need to bring my running shoe, camera and lots of redbull.
