My big fat Greek brunch

Sunday morning I joined my old friends Robert and Richard on one of our many weekend excur- sions to seek out and sample every crusty old diner Seattle has to offer.

This day we made our way on foot across Seattle's University Bridge and then under and a little west to the venerable Voula's Offshore Cafe. Situated on the north shore of the ship canal, this Greek diner was once the site of lunch breaks for Robert (who worked in the neighborhood) and me in the early days of our friendship (circa 1992).

Like any real diner, Voula's serves breakfast all day and is notable for its tasty food and (perhaps) the mural of the canal on its east wall. But don't take my word for it. Voula's was featured on the Food Network's "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives," which you can watch here:



It was a beautiful day, a nice walk, and a satsifying meal.
