Original Hotcake & Steak House

"All I'm soliciting is a short stack ($4.50), officer. No sir, that's not perv code. Hotcakes. Yeah, you're right, that sounds a little dirty, too. Pancakes, that is." Open 24 hours a day, the Original Hotcake House gives you more than just an alibi for prowling Southeast Powell Boulevard at 4 am. The food is everything it ought to be: Massive plates of greasy (in a good way) diner fare for less than the price of an hourly motel room. And who knows what your new "lady friend" will do for some eggs and sausage ($8.45), let alone a steak? (ES)

1002 SE Powell Blvd., 236-7402.

Open 24 hours.
