Happy Fall Y’All!

More than one year ago, I was going to meet my friend Julie for breakfast.  She highly recommended a restaurant in Newport Beach called Tupelo Junction Café.  She told me about one of their more popular menu items but said to get what sounded good to me.  I went with her suggestion of the Pumpkin Oatmeal Waffle with Caramelized Bananas, Candied Pecans, Sweet Cream and Maple Syrup. I was moaning with delight from the first bite.  Julie asked if we should share each of our breakfasts’ and I said no.  We now laugh about it because she could tell how much I was enjoying my meal.  The waffle was crisp on the outside yet soft in the middle, the candied pecans gave it the sweet and crunchy texture, the sweet cream was spreadable and decadent and the bananas…well, I wish there were more!

Two weeks ago Julie moved out of state, but before she left I wanted to treat her to one last breakfast at Tupelo Junction Café.  I hadn’t been back since my first visit but have often thought about that epic meal and have recommended the restaurant to so many people who have also fallen in love with other menu items.  This time Julie and I both got the waffle and it didn’t disappoint.
