Googie Grill

You can be forgiven if at first you mistake this omelet for a souffle: It’s a heaping tower of fluffy (very fluffy) eggs, piled high. The signature Googie Omelette (also available on the lunch menu, if you want to indulge in breakfast for lunch) has finely chopped, perfectly crispy bacon, chunks of perfectly ripe avocado and a generous layer of melty Jack and cheddar cheese inside the tower of local, cage-free eggs. This is where rich meets airy, and breakfast is filling without being greasy – also known as omelette perfection.
