  I seldom write reviews but periodically my experience is so much better, or worse, than the expectation that I feel compelled to share. Frenchies Famous is such a unique gem that I will now consider a MUST before one can say “I have experienced the best of Traverse City’s unique food scene.” Hole-in-the-wall does not do it justice as it is so much more than meets the eye. Five tables are packed (comfortably) into a small sitting area right next to the kitchen so you can see the lone chef work. Our bottomless pit of “Mug O Mud” (aka fresh french press coffee) was more richly satisfying than expected as it was served by the lone, stoic but friendly waiter wearing his winter boots and wool toque with flaps down, covering his ears (it was a cold and icy morning). My son (a chef) and I ordered off the breakfast specials from the chalkboard near the door and expected a solid “Hole-in-wall” meal based on many positive reviews. But when we received our verde chorizo omelet and pastrami egg benedict the plating & presentation was more in keeping with high end Nordic restaurant in a major metro (clean, balanced, purposeful and pleasing to the eye). The flavors and texture were as good as the presentation as we enjoyed the best breakfast we have ever had in Traverse City. I will be surprised if Frenchies Famous doesn’t end up on an Anthony Bourdain or Guy Fieri show in the not too distant future. You should go now and say you did it before it was famous!
