Lakeview Lunch Lacklustre

When you wake up late for brunch, you have to expect that you'll have to wait in line wherever you go. You also have to expect a little bit of a wait once you've been seated because the establishment is probably busy by the time you get there. These are some things that I have learned over the past year or so.

However, a patron (lets call him Kevin) should not have to wait for an hour and thirty minutes for his food. He should also not be so hungry that he has to resort to eating from the peanut butter packages. Also, when one orders cranberry juice, that person should get cranberry juice, not cran-banana (which is not good FYI).

When we receive our food, our waitress isn't very apologetic. It is at this moment that it is pretty clear that the Lakeview Lunch is a hipster hangout and we should be so lucky to be seen there.

As for the food, I decided to get something called a "Hillbilly Omelette." The omelette consisted of cornbeef, sausage, and potatoes. The omelette was overcooked, leaving a very crunchy mass of uncomplimentary flavours mingling. It was as unappetizing as that reads. However, when one was as hungry as I was, you strive to finish. It was a marathon of sorts. The homefries (or fried discs of potato) were good, insofar as they were fried potatoes. My toast could not be qualified as such, because it was bread that was probably toasted for half a second.

The only element that made eating my meal possible was the half of a bottle of Tabasco. It really stands to the quality of the food when you have to use hot sauce to mask the flavours of the restaurants food.

Don't waste your time. You will waste a lot of it.
