Drop by Ernie’s Café!

Christine & Patrick Minney are the proud new owners of Ernie's Café
Yesterday Josie & I went out to check out Ernie’s Café – have you been there lately? Christine and Patrick (you recognize them from the Market Chef and Bakery San Juan, and other places around town before that) just bought the little spot, and I hope you get a chance to go visit them soon!
The bulgogi is served with miso soup, rice, green salad, and kimchi - it was great!
The seating area looks over the runways, out over Griffin Bay in the distance, and is a bright and cheerful place to eat & visit. I really enjoy the photos on the wall from the days when Ernie Gann & Roy Franklin were flying and getting the idea that flying around the island going. Ernie’s has an established and loyal clientele who were filing in the whole time we were there, and who left happy & fed.
There are several eating places on the island that are a little out of the way – Backdoor Kitchen, Duck Soup Inn, and Pablito’s come to mind, as well as Ernie’s – but all are the “little secrets” that locals frequent, even though they’re not on a main road. Add Ernie’s to that list.
To get to Ernie’s, you turn off Spring Street to go to the airport, and immediately turn left down towards Aeronautical Services…you’ll see the café at the end of the lot.
I’ve known Patrick & Christine for years, and the thing you can count on with these two is that they’ll do it right – drop in and see for yourself…you’ll be glad you did! And if you haven’t been there before, you’ll have a new favorite place to eat!
The eating area is bright & cheerful, looking over the runway and the bay....

I’ve always loved the Bul Gogi (similar to a teriyaki) as a dish. But I tried it on a sandwich yesterday and was blown away! What a brilliant lunch item! Congratulations to both of you… while I’ll miss Chi San and Jim, I’m thrilled that you two will keep Ernie’s going strong.
Congratulations! Although I will miss seeing you across the street, I will come and visit you in your new place. I know you are going to be very successful.
YEAH!!! Congratulations, so excited for you two! Sounds amazing. “If you do work that you love, and the work fulfills you, the rest will come.” All my best wishes.
