*VIEWER DISCRETION* This funky hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Vancouver's LGQBT district serves up just as much profanity as it does fantastic breakfast. If you don't mind your benny with a side of crude humour, this will be the perfect spot for you. Oh, and if you don't finish your food, you must donate to a charity that helps feed people with AIDS. Breakfast for a cause!
