"Cut from the same family-friendly cloth as Shari’s, Elmer’s is perhaps a step up — they even jumped on the bandwagon a few years back by name-checking local brands like Zenner’s and offering seasonal specials. Its vaguely hotel restaurant-like presence seems to be dwindling in the Portland-area, though there are still 29 locations in five states, including Boise, Palm Springs, and Arizona where the chain operates under an assumed name, Egg N’ Joe." - Krista Garcia
