Hot off the press!

Early this year our friend Bobbie Malone decided to write a magazine article about the Original Pancake House that we all frequent. That idea snowballed into a wonderful little book that is now on sale at the restaurant for $10.00. The restaurant itself has just re-opened after a beautiful re-design. 

Bobbie said she wrote this photo essay "to celebrate the diverse community of staff and diners who frequent The Original Pancake House on University Avenue, a location that mindfully contradicts everything that the current national political climate attempts to deny." It's one of the few places where diners chat with neighboring tables and everyone talks to the staff. It is a perfect place to start your day on a positive note.

My husband, Mark Golbach, took all the photos for the book which was masterfully designed by Nancy Zucker. 

This is the second book that Bobbie has written since she retired from the Wisconsin Historical Society. She's currently at work on book with her husband, Bill Malone — the first they've ever co-authored.

Congratulations to Mark and to Bobbie. It sounds like a great place to eat. How nice to be able to document that.

How cool is that!?!

Places like that are all too uncommon. I'm glad you found one and that you've joined in celebrating it.

Oh, that's great! We used to eat there with my mom's brothers and their families. I think the first meal Jim had with my family was at the OHOP on University. We have an ancient family joke about setting your lemon to stun, after my cousin squeezed lemon on his Dutch Baby, and it collapsed.

Congratulations to Nancy, Mark, and Bobbie! Perhaps some celebratory pancakes are in order.

I keep thinking about ordering the Dutch Baby but now I will know to "hold the lemon."
