Elijah's (Breakfast) - La Jolla, CA


Stopping to visit Erin's friend Nikki before heading over to my grandmother's house for Passover, Erin, Nikki and I headed over to a Jewish Deli and Restaurant called Elijah's for breakfast (how very fitting for a pre-Passover meal). The breakfasts were fairly unique. Erin got a three item combo including an apple blintz, a potato pancake and a piece of challah french toast.


I knew I wanted a bagel and cream cheese and some lox, but also had a taste for regular breakfast fare. I found a plate called the Big Wave Breakfast that has not only a bagel, but a wide variety of bagel fixings--lox, onions, tomatoes, lettuce, olives, and capers (though the olives, lettuce and capers were left to live)--but included eggs, fruit, and grilled salami (another fairly unique breakfast item).


I love places that have snacky foods to munch on while waiting for your meal. Elijah's satisfied that urge with a big container of pickles and a bowl of pickled green tomatoes (which mostly tasted like regular pickles). This weeks breakfast doesn't quite beat out last week's (chilaquiles) in deliciousness, but was certainly up there in uniqueness.
