Lucile’s Creole Café South Broadway neighborhood (roughly; it’s east of Broadway) 275 South Logan 303-282-6258 Bus directions: Take the 0 from Market Street Station down Broadway to Alameda and walk east
This particular Lucile’s is not in an old house, like the one in Boulder. It’s laid out like a restaurant, with fairly wide aisles between tables. It’s a little easier to navigate but not quite as cozy and quirky as the location in Boulder. There is also a large but quite sunny patio on Logan.
We skipped the beignets that we usually order, but my breakfast came with this lovely, crumbly, moist biscuit. 
I started my meal with hot chocolate made with Lucile’s house-made chocolate milk, heated and mixed with cinnamon and nutmeg.
It was more flavorful than the Starbuck’s version I usually get, even if I do make the barista add extra chocolate and caramel.
Todd ordered the Carlin County, which always reminds of a friend of mine who likes to go four-wheeling in his souped-up jeep. The sausage gravy over another buttermilk biscuit was creamy and slightly spicy, and it looks like a big hunk of sausage worked its way into the red beans.
Todd loves his grits, but I’m not as fond of them. This time I chose them for my side with the Cajun Breakfast, poached eggs with hollandaise over red beans. 
It was a mellow combination. Although Lucile’s red beans tend to be spicy, they didn’t have a chance against a combination of grits and hollandaise. (If they put the eggs in the grits, it would look a bit like a Santa Claus face, don’t you think?)
It’s always a struggle to finish a meal at Lucile’s: the food is great, but there’s so much of it.
Todd and I went to Lucile’s on South Logan before he had to conduct another audition for KFSC and I had to go cover the Cherry Blossom Festival the last weekend of June 2009.

This article makes me weep with hunger. I want a special matter teleportation device that allows me to mouse click on a photo I see online and then instantly have that thing.

Oh, I’m so sorry. I guess the salad and raspberries weren’t enough?

The raspberries were a nice flavoring for the oatmeal I had for breakfast. The salad wasn’t enough, even when supplemented with some cherries and a mid-afternoon snack of a banana. It might have been enough if I’d been able to eat the leftover beans. But I found about three bites into them that they were moldy. That photo of the plate of red beans has been making my stomach rumble for 30 minutes now.

Seriously, this made me instantly crave Sunday morning, a newspaper, coffee and a mimosa! I think my perfect life would involve brunch, followed by a leisurely stroll, and then a nap every day.
