I'm interested in omelet criteria. Should the outside be lightly browned or is a set yellow exterior acceptable?

How should any internal ingredients be treated - veggies sauteed first before being folded in to the inside if you like ingredients included?

In short, what is your ideal omelet?

I just make these at home using a non-stick pan and a pair of chopsticks. Like this:

I don't have much hope of finding an omelette like Jacques Pepin makes in a local restaurant, and even if someone could make one it would be cold by the time it got to the table.

OMELETTES, cause I love me a good French omelette. And don't know where to get one anymore.

Lucia's usually has them on the Sat/Sun brunch menu. Check online before you go because the menu changes every week.

Thanks! I'll give them a try and see how the omelette stacks up.

Can't think of more than 2 places that serve chili (Wendy's being one of them) or Cassoulet. Spring Rolls is somewhat-similar establishments as Pho.

So OMELETS.
