It's a tiny spot where Christina and Lee Vataj serve up ginormous breakfast portions.
Pancakes are the size of like hubcaps, and the types include red velvet and the holy canoli pancake. They make the holy canolis with their basic batter - buttermilk, flour, an egg, vanilla, baking soda and powder, salt, sugar and vegetable oil. Lee ladles it onto the griddle, one flip, and add some of that canolli cream. Then he rolls it up and adorns it with more canoli cream. It's breakfast for dessert, or dessert for breakfast.
Countryside Kitchen also serves French toast, eggs, a breakfast burrito and Lees omelet.
