I Need A Space Pun!

This week I'm reviewing the Cosmic Omelet. There really should be a pun of some kind to go with a name like that, but I can't summon anything above the level of dad jokes, so I'll refrain.

With menus like this, I suspect they'll be happy to make some for me.

Speaking of dads, mine was having a birthday, so I decided to bring him along for the ride. As breakfast places go, the Cosmic Omelet is arguably the most famous in town, and has been since I was in high school. When people wanted to know where my parents' house was, I'd use it as a reference. When most of the town lost power in the October 2011 snowstorm, this place was miraculously open and provided warmth, shelter, wi-fi, and most importantly, hot food to the surrounding community. Not gratis of course, but we were glad it was there. It's also the kind of place that is popular enough with locals (and large enough) that if you live here, you are very likely to run into someone you know.

A couple people came over to wish Dad a happy birthday. The waiter did too, because he was nice like that.

As you might guess, the omelettes here are awesome. Also, there are a ton of options. You could eat here every morning for a month and not have the same omelet twice, and that's not including the ability to fully customize your own. There's also the usual breakfast staples of French toast, pancakes, Eggs Benedict and the like. I've never had them and know no one who has come here and not gotten the omelettes.

If you come for lunch and aren't feeling omelety (why would you come here if you did not like omelettes?) they also have a full range of wraps, sandwiches, burgers, and quesadillas. No idea how they are, either.

This time around, I went with Steve's Irish Omelet, which is made with corned beef hash and American cheese. I confess that this is my usual go to when I come here.

White toast and hash browns make things perfect.

Dad, likewise a creature of habit, ordered Joey's Cosmic Omelet without looking at the menu. This has sausage, hot peppers, mushrooms, cream cheese, and cheddar. I'm not sure how I feel about cream cheese in an omelette, but it's good enough to make Dad a repeat customer.

Look at him being all healthy with his wheat toast. 

In summary, this place is always a good eating experience, even if, like at Shady Glen, I am a creature of habit here. In fact, if you're looking to have the ultimate townie dining experience, you could do no other than the Cosmic Omelet for breakfast and Shady Glen for lunch. It's not the former's fault that they spell omelette wrong.

Next week: more experimentation! Hopefully with less slicing of appendages.
