The Kettle’s website refers to the place as “Locally world famous,” and as much of an oxymoron as that might seem, it’s accurate.
If you live in the beach cities there are very good odds that you have been there sometime, and even if you haven’t, you know it’s there. If you’re a night owl who gets hungry or sometimes just craves some light and life when all is quiet and dark, it’s a hundred percent chance you’ve been there, as it’s the only place in town to get a full repast at three in the morning. It will be a good meal, too, one you’d happily return for in the daytime and in the company of friends who will never know the joy of watching the sun come up while you’re on the way home to bed.
