The Egg and I Restaurant is "eggcellent"!!


It's been a while since I last posted and so I've got some catching up to do! After a three month hiatus and the constant nagging and begging of the thousands of "golf and grub" fans, I've decided to post!

Let's start it off with The Egg and I Breakfast Joint in St. George, Utah. A while ago we were in St. George and decided to try The Egg and I which serves only Breakfast and Lunch. We had seen The Egg and I several times in St. George but for some reason never took the time to try the food. I am glad that we finally got around to it!!

The Egg and I Restaurant is an upscale breakfast and lunch concept. It was created by Rayno and Patty Seaser. They opened the first The Egg and I Restaurant in Ft. Collins, Colorado in 1987. Since 1987, the Egg & I has grown to 29 restaurants in Colorado, Texas, Wyoming, and Utah. It is anticipated that over the next five years an additional 40 to 50 restaurants will be opened throughout the U.S. Their website says that one is coming soon to the Salt Lake City area!!

That particular morning in St. George I was pretty hungry so I got The Egg and I's Taos Skillet which consists of diced chicken, salsa, black bean and corn relish on a bed of ranch potatoes with melted cheese and two eggs any style. It is topped with guacamole, diced tomatoes and green onions and served with a warm flour tortilla! It was delicious!

My wife ordered their Whole Wheat Raspberry Granola Pancakes. The Egg and I's Whole Wheat Raspberry Pancakes are whole wheat pancakes with whole raspberries and granola served with low fat raspberry yogurt instead of butter. When she first ordered them I was thinking how gross they sounded! Whole wheat pancakes with low fat raspberry yogurt??? However, after devouring my Taos Skillet she offered me some of her pancakes. They were awesome!! I could have easily ordered the Raspberry Granola Pancakes and walked away a happy man!!

The service at The Egg and I in St. George is "eggceptional"! The atmosphere is very comfortable and the prices are veryreasonable! If you happen to be near one of The Egg and I Restaurants it is definitely worth the time and money to sit down and have a very enjoyable breakfast! I highly recommend it!

Holiday Inn and the Palms Restaurant in St. George

Right now I'm down in St. George at the Holiday Inn which I would highly recommend to any family traveling in St. George.

The Holiday Inn in St. George has a great setup for families. For the price you can't beat it. It has an indoor/outdoor pool, small arcade and a game room with both pool and ping pong tables.

The Holiday Inn in St. George also has a restaurant attached to it, The Palms Restaurant of St. George! Their breakfast is great! Yesterday I had the Colossal Breakfast Burrito which was excellent and like the name says it was Colossal! Today I had the Cinnamon French Toast with Eggs and Ham. The portions at The Palms Restaurant in St. George are huge. I couldn't finish my breakfast this morning it was so big! One added bonus is that kids under the age of 12 eat breakfast, lunch and dinner for free!!!

I would highly recommend The Palms Restaurant in St. George especially for Breakfast.
