You're trying to get your mother-in-law to try the BBD? I hear that once she does, she'll never go back...
any of you old timers remember Village Inn? The one by Lloyd Center was our spot! Closed about 5 years ago.
I remember Red Lion Inn in Eugene, the best worst spot for nursing a cup of coffee after the bars close
Red Lion Inn in Vancouver on the river used to have a really good weekend brunch. Not quite Saltys level but good
The ex and I used to eat at the one on SE Stark near Mall 205 back in the day. Tried it again just before it closed down several years ago and was not surprised that it closed based on that experience.
