Pannekoek Tou fare fine

--North Shore News

for filling family appetites

DE -DUTCH PANNEKOEK
HOUSE, 657 WEST THIRD
STREET, NORTH VANCOUVER.
988-7658. VISA AND MASTER-
CARD ACCEPTED. OPEN EVERY
DAY FOR BREAKFAST AND
LUNCH. NOT REALLY
WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE.

THE SATURDAY morning pancake
trail starts just after 7 a.m. with a
twin bellow from the two wee folk
across the hall.

Forget the weekend slumber,
Jack, this is three-alarm hunger. It
needs attention and. it needs it
now.

Sometimes the flames can be
doused with a Bisrnarck or other
homemade pancake-like remedy;
but sometimes there’s only one
way to put out the fire: De Dutch
Pannekoek, mon.

Last Saturday, the clock nudging
8 a.m.,.we hit the Table Hopping

’ microbus at full gallop, visions of

pannekoeks revolving in our
heads, kids roaring, adults swear-
ing.

Our first destination was the
Capilano Road Pannekoek House,
but family jaws dropped when we
rolled into the diner’s parking lot.

it looked as if it had just hosted a
World Wrestling Federation stag
party:
nekoeks.

The morning dining doomsday

clock moved to within one minute
-of detonation, but, held that ex-
-plosion sound effects man: there is

renovations — not pan-—

a second Pannekoek House,
which opened recently in the old
Pitt Grill Cafe building adjacent to
the Oasis car wash.

The locaie’ may not be
glamorous, but its interior is cosy,
its service is friendly, and, most
importantiy, its staff produces
those delicious and massive
crepe-like pannekoeks.

table hopping

Word obviously spreads fast in
the pancake world because the
Third Street Pannekoek House was
packed the Saturday mornirg we
visited.

Pannekoek Houses are franchis-
ed operations, which can mean a
raige of food attitudes and
qualities as far and wide as the
franchisees themselves.

But every Pannekoek House I’ve
ever been to churns out cheer-
fulness and honest grub in the
kind of mighty portions in which
Northenders love to indulge.

It would be impossible in the
confines of this column to list the
full family of pannekoeks offered
at the Pannekoek House. | stop-
ped counting at 40.

There is an almost even split be-
tween savory and sweet members

(which is similar to most families):
everything from Pannekoek with
two Fried Eggs ($4.80) to
Vegetarian ($6.25) to Pannekoek
with Brown Sugar ($3.75) and on
up to Raisin Pannekoek with
Pineapple Slices, Toasted Coconut
and Whipped Cream ($6.25) and
on and on and on.

Don’t care for pannekoeks, you
say? Well that’s your cross to bear
in life my friend, but it doesn’t
preclude enjoyment of Pannekoek
House grub.

‘Try an Eggs Hollandict ($4.15) —
roast beef on Dutch rusks with two
basted eggs covered in Hollan-
daise sauce and accompanied with
hash browns. ~

Sounds good, right? So slip on
the long johns, put some vaseline
in the hair, put your teeth in and
get going or somebody's gonna get
your seat by the window.

But back to pannekoeks. They
are, according to my press

package, a Dutch origina! akin to
North American pancakes, but
larger and related to French crepes
