Soundbites / i-cafe connection
Speaking of i-cafe in Teele Square, I just saw this little tidbit on Chowhound:
got to talking to the owner, ali, who, it turns out to be the original owner of soundbites. he sold out to the breakfast nazi 9 or 10 years ago. made me a banana crepe on the house — nice touch.
I haven’t been to Soundbites since the time the breakfast nazi threw our check at us and told us to leave, the very second that our friend John picked up his last forkful of omelette. And yet, John keeps going back every time he’s in town. It must be the crack in the hash browns.

I haven’t yet experienced SoundBites and I’ve heard nothing but bad things about the owners and staff. They don’t deserve my business. Unfortunately, with the acquisition of El Guapo it looks like the Breakfast Nazi is going to become the Burrito Nazi too.

If you haven’t heard the news, El Guapo is closed and the owner of Soundbites (both locations, across the street from each other) is relocating into the El Guapo space. There is also a rumor that Victor of Victor’s Deli will open his own breakfast eatery in the to-be-former Soundbites.

I forgive the breakfast nazi, even though he opted to take a cell phone call rather than my chow order during my most recent visit. I find his attitude amusing. Plus, he made up for it by letting Sonya and I take a peek into their new space next door. And, yes, those heavenly potatoes…
