This story needs just a little background information...
'The other half' and I couldn't be more different in some areas, one of those areas is technology. He has a 'dumb phone', by choice, has no idea what to do with my smart phone... 'why can't I just make a phone call?!?!?'.
I on the other hand love my smart phone and all my handy little apps. So after watching (AKA putting up with me) get directions to everywhere using my Google Maps navigation app, looking up every restaurant we went to on Yelp, finding a Marijuana Dispensary (which he was actually impressed with, and yes, it's legal in Colorado); I opened my handy Yelp app to find a place for a late breakfast before heading over Guanella Pass. I found a place with great reviews, set my navigation to get me there and well the place was packed. Not wanting to wait we decided to head to downtown Georgetown and see if we could find a place that was less packed.
So without checking Yelp or knowing exactly where I was going, off we went. Just a little ways down the road we noticed The Whistle Stop Cafe and decided to give it a try.
As it turns out, sometimes doing things the 'old fashion' way works out, this place was absolutely delicious! While, yes, the ambiance was somewhat lacking and it may have been the tiniest restaurant I have ever been in (there are 4 tables, a few seats at the counter and one outside table), I also had the best omelet I have ever had.
I had 'The Georgetown Omelet' which was served with home fries and an english muffin and 'the other half' had the special of the day which was steak and eggs, also served with home fries and toast.
Both dishes ended up being absolutely amazing.
No matter how much I love technology, finding this little diamond in the rough served as a reminder that getting lost or wandering aimlessly can sometimes lead you to something unexpectedly fantastic.
