News Breakfast in Gooding
Even though I rarely eat in the morning, breakfast is one of my favorite meals - hashbrowns or biscuits with gravy, eggs (I like my over medium), and bacon, sausage, or ham (I usually forgo the toast - have to watch my figure). Of course, eating at a restaurant is more than just great food. It is also about service, and the owners of the Western Cafe in Gooding do both. Humberto Gutierrez and Samuel Carrasco have moved into the little building at 116 4th Avenue West (where El Toro use to be El Toro has moved to 121 3rd Ave. E.). Humberto (left) has been cooking for twenty years and his partner, Samuel (above), has been doing the same for ten. Ever since the two of them met a few years ago, they have been dreaming of opening their own restaurant. Open from 7 to 3, Monday thru Saturday, they serve breakfast and lunch. And, after interviewing a couple of customers (had to be brief, they were eating), it appears that the Western Cafe is well worth the stop.
