I was walking down Melrose on a Saturday looking for a place to eat and let's just say I was about as hungry as I can ever remember being. I was slightly irritable, maybe even a little bit irrational, and I know I was getting on my girlfriends nerves. Though I will say, she was being fairly patient with me. Anyway, I know about five spots that generally do the trick in bringing me back down the earth and satisfying my cravings at a time like this. She mentioned she heard this place Blu Jam Cafe had great breakfast and lunch, and I said I didn't want to try anything new. She gave me one of those looks, you know what I mean. Five minutes later I found myself meeting the owner Kamil and grabbing a spot on the patio at BJC. I had a burger. I was stunned!! Absolutely amazing. The next morning I had a Blu Jam Benedict. Completely floored, it was the best Benedict I'd ever had, and I'm very picky when it comes to Benedicts. The day after that I came for the dish called Gone Fishing, the fish of the day, made fresh daily and sushi grade quality ( I was told). Delicious is an understatement. Anyway, the point is, I've been back many many times and never been dissapointed. The service rocks, the food's amazing, the location's convenient, and yes, if you were wondering, I ended up getting the ""I told you so"" from my girlfriend. Definitely check this place out, but try not to stare at the celebrities you'll find wearing dark glasses in the back corner table.
