Snooze owner Jon Schlegel certainly has loyal fans -- and family members. Today's print edition includes a response to my January 18 Second Helping from Schlegel's brother Adam, who works at the popular breakfast/lunch place. We also received the following from another relative who lives in Tucson:
What's Jason Sheehan got against Snooze? He's had it out for the place since his first review, which included more obscure references to Omega Man than it did about the actual food. I guess the scores of people, including myself, who willingly and happily wait to get a taste of that f'ed up corn beef hash, blown hollandaise, gooey tortillas and those "okay" pancakes are all just a bunch of morons. But what do we know? We're not the hipster food critic.
And seriously -- call it eggs Benedict. "Eggs Benny" just makes Jason sound silly. Or lazy. Or both. It does not make Jason sound hip.
Personally, I've never had a bad meal at Snooze, and will continue to support it any chance I get.
And considering her connection to the owner, she'll probably have plenty of chances. -- Jason Sheehan
Honestly, I'm not sure what Jason Sheehan has against Snooze. It seems personal to me since he's given it to them on the head twice. In terms of downtown breakfasts it is way better than most of the competition. I prefer breakfast at Snooze to Mona's, Dixon's or even Sam's #3.
One thing for absolute sure, no doubt in my mind: it's tastier, cozier with more personality than Breakfast King. I'm willing to start a breakfast war over this.
I almost forgot to mention, the boy's at Snooze have done a number with Jason's first bad review through selective editing. On Snooze's table tents Jason Sheehan is quoted as saying Snooze is "the Pimp of Pancakes" (or something like that).
