Marth sent and email on Blue Bird Cake for Easter. I am not sure that the Blue PEEPs blue Bird is really what she had in mind.
Breakfast while traveling poses several challenges ranging from limited healthy options to time constraints. First finding healthy choices can be difficult, second is consistency and third is time.
Having egg white scramble with vegetables with a side of sliced tomatoes – the dish comes out mounted with cheese and buttered toast. Close but doc a few points off from being conscientious and a good healthy breakfast.
What does one do? Go for suitable standard options. How about Egg Benedict – sauce on the side (to see the skill set of the breakfast saucier). The second struggle was the benedict as the poached egg white was pealed back and not hidden by the sauce. Going further the egg was unfortunately hard, cooked too long ago – and sand bagged. Not suitable and definitely a struggle.
The time restraint forced to compromise and not send back the breakfast dishes. Just as in Goldy Locks could mine be just right? After all traveling and breakfast options of Eggs and waffle are breakfast staples.
The Third chance proved successful. Additionally we had really good service and the atmosphere was charming. I would give this one a rating three forks out of five, with five being really good.
This particular restaurant is rated as one of the best local breakfast restaurants and do not feel to adventurous to try other options for breakfast on the road.

Jack Quinn’s snug Irish pub in Colorado Springs evokes a sense of warmth and familiarity at the first visit. It is a haven inside a busy room away from a busy city. Warm lighting, good service, and a feeling of contentment. The decor echoes the pub’s Irish heritage, while honoring it’s Coloradan identity: the pub’s walls are decorated with Fire Fighter hats, as Colorado Springs is the hub of a festival celebrating first responders nationally. The food is also familiar. We indulged in delicious mac-n-cheese and Irish Nachos. The mac-n-cheese was hearty, well made, and reminded me of my childhood. The Nachos, a skillful twist of American and Irish cuisine, was blanketed in not only cheese, but also corned beef, crisp green onion, Keltic potatoes, and Mary Rose. Our rating on quality from food on the plate, to atmosphere and service: Jack Quinn Irish Pub earns a shining 5 out of 5 stars.
