Otakon At Large: The Real Real Reason I Was In Baltimore

Sweet Cinnamon Apple New York Griddle Cakes. Breakfast Burritos. Vegetable Tempura. Yaki Soba. Smoked Gouda Quiche. Sweet Potato Tots.

What's this?

The menu at XS Cafe, one of my favorite restaurants in the world. They serve a full menu of Japanese dishes as well as a traditional American breakfast all day. So, you can, as I did today, get pancakes, inari, and tamago. I'm serious, and it's spectacular. See for yourself at http://www.xsbaltimore.com/.

Oh, I overheard this from two girls leaving XS just as I got there...

"Peace out, girl scout!" Girl A
"Text me if you want to see My Cousin Vinny!" Girl B
