Before our failed trial of moving #PDXBreakfast to OMFG early, I had planned for us to go to Juniors, but they don’t open until 8am. I have been avoiding Juniors for longer than I would like to admit. Not for any rational reason. But simply because I know the founder and original owner. A new owner meant change. Some change I embrace, but because Portland has such a plethora of great breakfast places I found it so very easy not to give the new owner a chance. So now I am using #PDXBreakfast as a way to break me out of my routine and embrace change.
But before I fully embrace change, I need to thank Junior’s original owners for opening up my breakfast world a little bit. Until I went to Juniors I never ordered oatmeal when I went out for breakfast. Restaurant oatmeal always seemed to be a gummy, unappetizing mess. But Junior’s oatmeal was a bowl of delicious steel cut oats served with a plethora of fresh fruit. Without Juniors oatmeal, I would never have ordered Gravy’s oatmeal brulle, which is probably the best oatmeal I have ever eaten.
So please come join me embrace change on Thursday, November 10th, 8:30am at Juniors: 1742 Southeast 12th Avenue.
