Favorite breakfasts at Captains Galley

I love breakfast. It is my favorite meal of the day!! Since we are on a budget we cannot go out to eat very frequently. But breakfast is another story.

Captain’s Galley is different. They are only open for breakfast and lunch. We haven’t been there for lunch because breakfast is too wonderful. They have a special: 2 eggs, 2 pieces of meat (bacon, ham, or sausage), home fries or grits, and 2 pancakes.

I realize when I write this that the description seems pedestrian. I could be describing Denny’s or IHOP. But I am not. This is special.

The eggs are perfectly cooked. I get them scrambled well and they come out crispy, piping hot. I swear you get at least 3 eggs. Kermit gets his over medium and he can attest that 2 eggs is actually 3 eggs.

The meat and potatoes are ok. The pancakes are TO DIE FOR! The owners (originally from Ohio of course!) order their flour specially ground for them from Ohio. It is delicious. Sort of like the pancakes at the original Perkins in Sandusky. Not the regular chain owned places but the original place that uses a different, yellower flour that has a touch of corn meal in it. YUM!!

The best part? All this for $5.97 per person including coffee. It can’t be beat. We can get out of there with enough food to keep us happy until dinner for $20. Such a deal. 

We have eaten out a few times with Bunny and Evan and at their house a few times, with Michael and Judy, Bill and Eve and with the whole gang while at Fort Pierce. We prefer cooking on board and hosting friends. So much more fun that way!

We had a great time at Fort Pierce's first attempt at a Taste of Fort Pierce. On the roof of the 3 story parking garage about 10 different restaurants offered a tasting of liquor or food. We particularly enjoyed the local brewery's offering of a spicy beer. I'd get a bunch more of that but they only brew in small batches.

It was so windy we about blew off the roof... and our plates with it! I think they reported gusts of at least 30 to 40 mph, a tiny little tropical storm, with bright sunny skies. Plus it was cold, in the 40s. We all wished we had gloves. But the warm food was welcome.
