Theme Week, Part 99 Degrees

Jeremy's Sametime Status Proudly Presents: Back From Vacation Week! That guy, Guy knows what he’s talking about.


Welcome back, Jeremy. A bit later than expected, but I trust we find you hale and hearty?


Indeed. There were some issues with the trip back from the desert, which have already been captured adequately in Silver Screen Form. Some of those misadventures may be also shared in Whimsical Blag Form later in the week. I guess we'll all find out together as Theme Week progresses.


So what Guy is this you're talking about?


The Guy in question would be Guy Fieri from the Food Network, who stopped into the ironically tiny Matt's BIG Breakfast in downtown Phoenix for his show "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. Matt's would adequately fall into the "Diner" category, and came with a recommendation from the hotel, just a few blocks away.

The first day we set out to find food, Matt's was sadly closed. It was also ridiculously small, and we lowered our expectations for the place. When we went back the next day, holy crap were we wrong. The food in the place was amazing, and the coffee was the best I had on the entire trip. The service was also noteworthy for a couple reasons. The Blag-Friendly reason was that there were 4 waitresses in a restaurant with no more than 8 tables, including the people eating on the window sill. I'm not making that up.

The place was so good, we actively made it a point to go back on the last day of our trip so that our last memory of Phoenix would be that breakfast. Just so happened that Sunday's special was Steak and Eggs. Yeah...that was good times.

So, bottom line...if you're travelling in the greater Phoenix area, do yourself a favour and hit Matt's one morning. Tell them Jeremy sent you.


They'll look at you kinda funny and ask who Jeremy is.
