A group of us drove 40 miles to take a friend out for a birthday breakfast to the nearest Bob Evans. He's from Ohio originally and loves their biscuits and gravy. One perfectly hideous breakfast. I had the good sense to have two eggs over easy (slightly overdone), hash browns (tasted like oil), sausage patties (pretty good) and biscuits with honey (not bad).

I agree with your friend. Bob Evans has extremely good biscuits and gravy.

BTW I was boring and went to the Argossy Casino in Kansas City Missouri and had the buffet. Shrimp, sushi, olives smoked salmon and crme cheese washed down with cranberry juice. It was darn good though.

Admiral's Ale is our house ale ... it is wonderful.
and Paulaner our house German ... it tasted just like it is straight from the barrel and actualy develops a lovely head if allowed to mature way past it's use by date. We're currently drinking beer that is around 9 months over date and it has the most wonderful tight mousse ....
No filthy jokes please.
Eldridge Pope was sold to Marstons some time ago and the brewery was sadly transformed last year into a designer village with spa hotel

-various gelatinous cakes, Medan-style (one had pandan, another had cassava)
-cobra sate
-monkey soup
-nasi kuning cakalang (yellow coconut-rice {at least to me it tasted of coconut}, though it could've had turmeric too, with smoked and shredded skipjack tuna, tomatoes and cucumbers on the side) and saos rica

First day in I don't know how long that I skipped breakfast. I overslept by 40 minutes and had to rush to make it to work on time which meant I didn't eat until lunch, very unusual for me.
