Our Weekend Manager, starting at Pete’s in 1989Īll serving up delicious plates at Pete’s for over 20 years. Our #1 Chef, he has been preparing meals at Pete’s since 1988 In the changeover, Peter Ransom was adamant that the menu and recipes stay the same and no member of the staff was to be displaced. Pete’s name was on the door after all! Forever after, Peter Timpson became known as Re-Pete. In 2003 Peter and Lyndsay Timpson (two transplanted Brits) happened upon “Pete’s Breakfast House” and they had to buy it. See the Breakfast, Lunch and Cocktail MENUS HERE.Pete's is a family-owned and run BREAKFAST and LUNCH restaurant that has been serving Ventura County since 1981.īack in the Early 80’s, a young entrepreneur and food wizard, Peter Ransom, took over the small café “2055 Main Street,” with the intent to serve freshly prepared, incredible breakfast dishes. It took time, but slowly Venturans began to flock to savor these delights. Market in the little court with Olive & Oats. That will generate more photos, I promise. (Think Eggcellent Omelet, but as a sandwich! A home run for sure.)Ĭheck out the gallery for some photos, and we plan to return soon for lunch. Six sandwiches round out the list, including the Mediterranean Chicken sandwich. One of the stars on the menu is the Overfalls Burger (make with a portobello mushroom, spinach, swiss and roasted peppers). The rest of our crew had the club sandwich (served regulation-style with the little quarter-slice points facing up) and what might possibly be the shining star on the breakfast menu, their very own version of French Toast sporting cinnamon, a sprinkle of powdered sugar and … wait for it … granola! Elina admits that that was her idea and it's a big hit with the regulars.įor lunch, it's all about sandwiches, burgers, salads and subs. Breakfast sandwiches include a Morning Burrito and their very popular Avocado Toast. This IS Delaware, after all….Ĭlassic breakfasts offer the popular combo with various versions of eggs, meats, veggies, cheese – you name it, it's yours. I consumed it all, plus pancake (Elina's pancakes are wonderful) and a slice of extra-crispy scrapple. It was quite good, though I personally would have liked it a bit less done. Plain and simple, but it lets me know if these people know their omelets. My first-time go-to is always the omelet, and I had the ham & cheddar. There is a total of eight omelets on the menu, including a build-your-own. The breakfast menu at Eggcellent has a long list of creative omelets including a lox omelet (salmon, onion, tomato, capers, cream cheese) and their top-of-the-list Eggcellent Omelet (basically their Florentine omelet, add mushrooms and black olives). Even if you're there for breakfast, don't miss this soup! I have to get this out of the way before I go any farther: The Cream of Crab Soup at Eggcellent is already a Rehoboth Foodie Pick Hit! Silky, creamy and not at all floury, the soup is loaded with chunks of crabmeat and is delicately seasoned. After what has seemed like forever, I finally made it in there – thanks to prodding from our friends Kevin and Debbie Short (Debbie is also an alumnus of Sunrise in Dewey!) Elina was a guest on my Beach Eats radio show in June 2020 just before they opened on July 17th. The cozy Eggscellent has a surprisingly big menu for its size, and the service could not be friendlier. She returned to the United States permanently, earning an accounting degree at Delaware Technical & Community College while working here and there – mostly serving breakfasts and lunches. Additionally, both Elina and Dina both took care of customers at the iconic Sunrise Restaurant in Dewey Beach.Įlina met the guy who was to become her husband when she came here from Russia for a vacation in 2007. Funny coincidence – Elina and Dina are both from the same city in Russia, both have degrees in accounting, but they never met until they both emigrated to America. The new owners, Elina Kamalova and her husband, are no strangers to the breakfast/lunch schedule – Elina worked for her good friend Dina Escamilla at The Nook in Milton, and Elina's husband worked at diners and breakfast spots all around Delaware. The former Cafe Azafran spot is now all about breakfast and lunch. The old Gate House is now the (relatively new) Eggcellent breakfast/lunch spot. 2 chicken tamales (1 green, 1 red), 2 any style eggs, homemade potatoes topped with sour cream. It became Gate House Restaurant for a while, and that closed shortly after the Gates family took over the Buttery in Lewes and rebranded it as 2nd Street Tavern. 2 scrambled eggs, Mexican sausage, poblano peppers, corn, chipotle sauce, fontina cheese, sour cream with homemade potatoes. in Lewes? After Richard Steele and family opened Azafran #2 in Rehoboth Beach, they closed the Lewes Azafran. Remember where Cafe Azafran used to be on Market St.
