BABE'S KITCHEN - LONG BEACH

If you're looking for a breakfast spot in Long Beach, like old school, independently operated (I despise chains, I'm sure you know!), EAT HERE. Located in the California Heights neighborhood, this place is a gem.
It's one of those places you'll drive by and never see.
Counter or table service. The waitress is 92 years old and she's still a firecracker. Sitting in this place, I could've been Anywhere, USA. And all the employees are very friendly. Even a trouble maker old guy that was cracking wise when asking what we'd like to drink was pretty entertaining.
Breakfast and lunch. I should've taken a better picture of the menu, but you get the gist of it. This past Sunday, they were opened from 7am to 2pm.
I got the Corned Beef Hash with Extra EXTRA crispy Hash Browns. And that they were. So fucking good. I love cripsy hash browns!

Mrs. Hater posted a photo on her instagram while she was in Georgia, some sort of hash brown house. The hash browns looked so amazing there, it kept popping in my little head for weeks.
I actually wanted Corned Beef Hash from a can. The kind my mom and dad used to make me in Hawaii. I don't want someone attempt at making their own homemade version, with bits of sliced corned beef and chunky potatoes. NO. I want the shit out of a can style and that is what I got! AND they were crispy patties! KETCHUP PLEASE!

Oh, and this place is known for their HOME MADE JAMS and JELLIES. You get to choose them yourself for your Texas sized toast. 
EAT HERE BEFORE THIS PLACE IS GONE OR SOLD OR SOMETHING!
