Eating in Diners

I was invited to breakfast at a diner this morning. It was spur of the
moment and I just ran there w/the kids to meet for breakfast.

What would you get? I ended up ordering a hot water for herbal tea that I
brought (Dandelion Tea) and I had a side order of bacon. I blotted off the
grease and left one strip for my friend. The kids split a cheese omelet and
didn't eat the home fries.

I didn't want to get an omelet because i don't trust it. I really want to be
strict right now because I have f'd around for a year and want to lose these
last 20 lbs!!

I am talking about NY diners - not like Dennys or Waffle House whatever - a
real diner. I suppose I could've had a burger or greek salad LOL but it was
only 8:30 am. It's now 1pm and I still haven't eaten, not really hungry.

Just wonderin' what yous woulda ordered ;o)

2 eggs over medium side of bacon. Coffee. 1 slice of whole wheat toast
(sometimes)

You could have ordered the fried eggs.

But I would have gotten the cheese omelet with mushrooms and spinach.
It's a rare diner that makes them any other way than eggs and cheese.
But if you REALLY were concerned, get an egg white omelet.

More concerned over the fake butter and stuff like that. Or if it's an
omelet are they using powdered eggs or real eggs?

I eat in NY diners all the time and order the omelettes. What exactly
don't you trust?

Whatever looked good to me that was LC. So what if it's 8:30? Scrambled
eggs, ham and a few strawberries sounds like a perfectly fine breakfast.
But so does a salad (Oil and vinegar), ground beef patty, cauliflower.

Or nothing if you're not hungry. The time has nothing to do with food.

I was never happy when people brought food or drink materials into my
restaurants. There's an implied criticism. Do you bring flowers to a
florists shop to finish making a bouquet?

*NOBODY* uses powdered eggs any more. That was WWII stuff. Powdered eggs
cost more than fresh if you can even find them. In all my decades of
food service, I've never seen powdered eggs at a food show, in a catalog
or had a salesperson try to sell me some. NY-style diners cook all the
simple stuff from scratch because it's cheaper than to buy heavily
processed foods. They use gravy mixes and the like, but the basic foods
are what they say.

Don't sit there guessing, mostly because the guesses so far have been
way wrong. Ask a few questions.

Most diners use butter or buttery flavored oil on the griddle. I used
buttery oil in some of my restaurants and no one ever noted that it
didn't taste "right" including employees who knew foodservice. No
cholesterol. Liquid and pourable.

I think special teas should be an exception; few restaurants stock them
all, and even fewer make their own, so no need for offense.

I went to an Inn - or B&B in CT and the woman of the house served us
powdered eggs. I asked about it because it was weird. Maybe it was in her
bomb shelter? Lol!! Maybe she mae her own mix or called it powdered eggs
when it was an egg substitute liquid? What's the weird egg stuff at McD's,
I had it as a kid and it was strange stuff.

It seems incredibly greasy on the eggs I've had in the local diners. Not
like butter and if you don't make a point of getting real butter on toast
they give you toast that's practically dipped in some oily un-butter. Is
that the oil? Margarine? Ick!
