I have a great wife make me breakfast if I want. She always asks when I get up. 2 eggs over easy and toast and coffe. Biut cant do it every day or start to gain weight. That sucks. that just started happening to me at 47 yrs old, So to not gain if I eat breakfast i have to skip lunch. It makes dinner taste good though. Is Dennys good breakfast? Working refrigeration and ac I know a lot of great places to eat. Great thing about most priviate run good reastaurants if you work hard and get their stuff working right. They usually offer a free meal. I fix electro freez soft serve machines too. Ive eaten so much soft serve that when your full of soft serve or frozen yogurt your stomach rumbles for hours. The best thing about that line of work is ive gotten to fill up a bucket of soft serve or frozen yougurt and then smash my hand in all the way up to my elbow and pull out a huge arm full of the stuff.
I make 4 pack of homemade chocolate chocolate chip cookies everyday to go with my Ovaltine and straight out of the cow milk. My wife makes the mix and I cook them mmmmmmm. good!
...IMO there's a difference between "entry level jobs" and "minimum wage jobs." Entry level implies a promotion path to those "good paying jobs" politicians like to talk about. Minimum wage is more like day labor. Problem is, in our "service-based economy" minimum wage workers don't have an upward path, but a lateral one. Even with those "good paying jobs," employers want 1099 contractees so there's no overhead, like healthcare or retirement, in general no commitment to employees, because there are none. Our current business model touts entrepreneurship, but not everyone wants or is suited to running a business, and I don't see many entrepreneurs rewarding the workers who make them successful...
Not a fan of fast food here but I had to try the Hardee’s Hot Honey chicken sandwich, wow is it good! There is a breakfast version using a waffle for the bun too. Not real hot, but a little sweet heat and great real chicken! Fair warning, can be messy if eating it in the car while driving.
Hardee's has by far the best hamburgers and sandwiches.. Closest one to me is over in Mora, and I make sure to get a loaded omelet biscuit when ever I am passing thru in the AM. JW
I have not been to Hardee's in many, many years. Turns out there is one right up the road from my house. I may have to check it out. Thanks guys!
Growing up from birth my Father had a restaurant I would say for at least 25 years in Boston which was a 3 minute walk from the State house. If you ever come across a documentary of the Boston strangler they usually show the outside of it because one of his poor victims lived and was murdered in the apartments above. My Pops told me a few storys of how the police would eat under cover for a short period and ask him and his workers about anyone strange hanging around lately. Anyways you could of called it a semi greasy spoon place. The food was fantastic with rotisserie chickens in the front window with neon lights they used at the time. A steak pit for top cut meats and real veal cutlet as a example. Just top notch food and a great breakfasts. He had alot of the regular customers who lived in the buildings around it and the workers from the State house. My father would serve the hash browns like a deck of cards, he would take a whole boiled potato and slice it through a egg slicer and spread it like a deck of cards and grill it. I remember going through some old menus he had stored and one was from the 50's and I think it was a sirlion steak dinner for something like $3.50, got a laugh out of that. Yes there was 2 waitresses named "Hazel" and "Daisy" with their hair in buns an would stick the pencils in the buns. I would take the trolly to Boston with my Mom and Sister and go shopping, and at Christmas time it was more special with going to the Boston Common to see the lights and Reindeer, then walk to the restaurant and at closing time would come home in my Fathers 66 Wildcat driving by the Citgo sign in the Fenway Park area. I also got alot of sport stuff from customers that were in the reporting field, only have the Bobby Orr poster left though. Why am I babbling, part of is how much warmth and simpler it was back then and this, My Father sold it to man who worked for him and years later he went to visit and gone was the waitresses and people to people connection. The whole front counter had changed to a quick serve deal with metal trays of pre cooked food. Even the soda was self serve. My Father was shocked but his friend said times had changed. Now it's one of those places where you make a appointment and pre order your food and custom deserts. The real gourmet stuff for probably $100 to $200 like tiny baby lamb chops for example with some type of over the top dressing and stuff.. You won't be full after thats for sure as its being on a date eating
mmmmmmm Tobies cinnamon rolls.... mmmmmm six pack to go... Great, now you going to make me crave one, next thing you know I will be in the car on the way... just 13 miles up I-35... JW
This makes me want to ask. What is the deal with Crispy creme donuts? I heard everyone bragging just how good they are but someone got a dozen a few years back and I wasn't impressed. I don't know if it was the real deal but the box looked legit with the Crispy logo..
The local Hardies has a line around the parking lot and into the street some days waiting on breakfast. Personally I've never had one of their morning meals.
OOOOOO.... donuts (in my best Homer Simpson voice) I think it depends on where you get them.. the ones they sell in the stores, are not the same as the ones you get right from the Crispy Cream store. They came to town here a few years ago finally.. opened up a couple locations around the twin cities... pretty sure I gained 5 pounds that week... Still warm from the oven, they melt in your mouth.. I have tried the store sold ones.. Not the same, more of a regular truckstop glazed donut.. The ones I have had, straight from the CC bakery, are really good. All locations might not make them exactly the same. JW
Ya I like me some doughnuts too. There was a Crispy Cream doughnut place in St Pete when I lived down there. Was a glass window where you could watch them come out of the fryer and get dressed then into the display cabinets. Place was open 24/7 and always busy. Could find a cop car or two in the parking lot anytime of the day or night.
That sounds like 2 or three breakfasts to me...wow. This is an interesting thread minus the mimimum wage convo. Seems like we've been there a couple of times lately. During the work week I usually do a cereal bar and a banana. On the weekend we typically do oats one day and a big breakfast the other, sometimes we eat in but sometimes we eat out. My favorite breakfast joint (family restaurant) had a fire about a year ago and hasn't reopened. I would get their Goetta in a wrap with eggs, cheese, mushrooms, and onions. Goetta is a local German pork recipe sorta like sausage. Waffle House and IHOP are filling the void. There is a fast food item I crave about once a month and that's a Chic-fil-A chicken, egg, and cheese biscuit. OMG thats good!
My recent breakfast go to has been wheat toast slathered with butter and topped with real peanut butter containing only crushed peanuts. After finding that in a small local store, I've sworn off the emulsified, homogenized, colorized, additive laced, typical grocery store stuff. Cost is higher, and you must regularly stir the peanut oil back into it, but oh so worth it!
Gentlemen.... I believe it's "Krispy Kreme" that you are referring to. When the red light outside is on, fresh donuts are rolling off the line . It is at this point of manufacture that you see the red light out of the corner of your eye and make a hard bootleg turn into the parking lot. AHHHHH! It's light, airy goodness! Could probably wolf down a dozen of 'em in no time at all.. Home base is Winston Salem,NC. Totally different from Dunkin Donut's "sinkers". Great topic, by the way!
Atlanta’s Krispy Kreme is WAS a local landmark and will be again. It burned not long ago but its famous owner, Shaquille O’Neal, vows to rebuild it. https://atlanta.eater.com/2021/11/3...me-doughnuts-popup-shop-ponce-de-leon-midtown Patrick
