Kathy's Waffle House is a restaurant here in Granada. As you can probably guess by the title, they're famous for producing a mean American style breakfast. We're talking about products that are hard to find here like blueberry waffles (made with blueberries in the batter AS IT SHOULD BE!), breakfast sausage (that alone should win them a medal), and hash browns.
I know that living abroad is all about new experiences but sometimes nostalgia sets in (hey, word trivia! I just learned that nostalgia is the Spanish translation for homesickness. Fitting, right?), and I want to hear English, see blue eyes, and eat what's familiar to me. Don't get me wrong, I love gallo pinto (rice and beans) too just not every day. When that hits, I head to Kathy's Waffles. Not only is the food great but it's a big foreign hangout in Granada. When you pass through, you should check it out and maybe we can meet in person :)
It's on my to-do list for sure!
ReplyDeleteWe love having breakfast here whenever we are in Granada.
ReplyDeleteAs a world traveler myself, I too sometimes feel the need for something close to home. I always search for a near by Hard Rock Cafe. Not always an easy find. Oddly enough, most international McDonalds are very nice.

I know! It's crazy how when you're away from home the same stuff that used to be the bane of your existence is now craved and exciting like Wal-Mart or McDonalds. I'm always disappointed when I actually go there though....it's never the same and never how I had it made out in my head. Oh well!
DeleteOooh, I love waffles too! One of my favorite breakfasts is waffles with syrupy strawberries with lot's of freshly made real whipped cream on top!
