Big Kitchen Cafe<\/p>\n

A true San Diego classic<\/a>, Big Kitchen Caf\u00e9 has been a South Park staple for over 40 years. Run by Judith \u201cJudy the Beauty on Duty\u201d Forman, this neighborhood spot is built on fresh ingredients and local love. With house-baked muffins and coffee cake, honey-baked hams, and freshly roasted turkey, Big Kitchen<\/a> feels like a hug from Golden Hill itself.<\/p>\n

Regular\u2019s favorites include Whoopie\u2019s Breakfast (eggs, bacon, potatoes, toast, and fresh orange juice), Nova\u2019s Favorite (spinach, eggs, and cheese with fruit, tortillas, and salsa), and Judy\u2019s Favorite Scramble with spinach, mushrooms, and sherry. Pancakes come piled high with chopped walnuts, strawberries, or creamy peanut butter. So if you\u2019re looking for a Thanksgiving brunch out without the green bean casseroles, Big Kitchen Caf\u00e9 is your place.<\/p>\n
