The battle of omelettes!!

 OK, so I love omelettes. Not that I have lost my teeth that I can't chew, but I love omelettes even though they do not typically do 0-60 mph under 5 seconds. To show my dedication, I had omelettes from three different places in 3 weeks!!

Classic Omelette from Four Seasons Downtown Vancouver

3rd Place: Classic Omelette from Four Seasons Hotel in Vancouver. It was served with potatoes and chicken sausages. Inside the omelette, the molten cheddar cheese was nicely blended with green pepper and ham. The egg was not overcooked, but still a little bit lacking in moisture. It was good, but not crazy good.

L’Omelette au Crabe from Maximilien Restaurant in Pike Place Market, Seattle
2nd Place: L’Omelette au Crabe from Maximilien Restaurant in Seattle. Combined with mushroom and fresh crab meat ( not the sh!t inside typical California rolls ), the omelette had somewhat more chewy texture ( in a good way ) than most other omelettes I have had. Both mushroom and crab were cooked just right within the egg, producing the rich flavour. Very flavourful, however, the egg was just a tad overcooked and slightly too hard.

Montagnarde omelette from Chez Mémé Baguette Bistro in Burnaby
1st Place: Montagnarde omelette from Chez Mémé Baguette Bistro in Burnaby. Simply put, it was the best omelette I have ever had. It was by far the softest omelette I have ever had. The bite literally melted in my mouth. Despite the tofu-like quality of the egg, everything inside was perfectly cooked - ham, onion, raclette cheese. The flavour was refreshing. It was really just simple, fresh food cooked right. This is what omelettes should be.

This is it for now, omelette lovers. I got hungry from writing the post...
