breakfast at le peep's

Because it had been such a long time since both Glenn and I were in Champaign, we decided to eat at one of our favorite breakfast places in town. There's actually only two good ones, The Original Pancake House and Le Peep Restaurant. OPH has better pancakes, of course, and any of their sweet breakfast foods are amazing! However, if your looking for tasty savory breakfast foods, such as omelets and skillets, you should go to Le Peeps. Unfortunately, their Eggs Benedict is tasty but nothing to be excited about (I'm always on the hunt for good Eggs Benedict. I probably should write about that in another post).

It gets pretty packed on weekends and on game days it seems as if everyone is wearing orange. As for ambiance ... well I guess, to be nice, it's quaint country.


Usually, I order the Eighteen Wheeler, combination of French Toast, Bacon, Eggs, and Peasant Potatoes (which I replace with a cup of fruit). However, I decided that I should try to be healthy and ordered the Spinnaker. It's a omelet made out of egg whites, mushrooms, lite cheddar cheese, spinach and green onions. For my sides, I ordered a whole wheat English muffin and a cup of fruit. The meal turned out really good!

Glenn ordered a skillet called The Nomad, which had chicken, broccoli, potatoes, basted eggs, and hollandaise sauce. Although their skillets have somewhat offensive names, such as, The Wanderer, The Hobo, and The Gypsy, they give you decent size portions and are tasty.


Here's Glenn trying to be sneaky and taking a bite of my omelet. But I caught him on camera.


Glenn has been known to steal other people's food. Just take a look at this picture from when we were at a Ramen House by Tokyo University. When Anna went to the bathroom, Glenn swooped in and started eating her left over Ramen. Sneaky Glenn.
