For breakfast, I made eggs in a basket for myself and my grandson. For dinner, my daughter and I teamed up on the grill and cooked 2 dozen barbecued chicken drumsticks (used Cattleman’s). All the sides were prepared at Winn Dixie. Then we went for a family walk on the beach.

what are eggs in a basket? I’ll assume it’s not eggs cooked in the grilled fish basket we’ve discussed elsewhere :-) |
The Father's Day from-scratch chocolate cream pie made for me. (Or, at this point, half of it after having more for breakfast :D)

Back in the 1970s, my grandpa, when he was a working man, walked a block once a week to have a steak lunch at The Burger Pit. It’s no longer there, the building has actually been razed. A couple years ago, I heard there was a BP in San Jose. After a day at the Triton Museum of Art in Santa Clara and some shopping at the Asian grocery store, my dad and I stopped in south SJ to have a very late lunch on our way home. Two ribeye steak sandwiches and fries, plus a shared side salad for $25. The restaurant looked and smelled just like old times. 🥰

I would take out the bread and eat the steak only. I would also eat the LTO like a salad and ask for a little ranch dressing, forgoing the pickles altogether.

I'm quite a fan of steak sandwiches on SF sourdough, just like in boxo's picture.
IMO, the pickles belong on the side, and the fries are missing freshly cracked black pepper and a side of mayo for dipping. Harrington's in SF FiDi made a good one, and more recently, it was my go to at Half Moon Bay Joe's. |
Thanks for the suggestions. If I preferred to eat the steak alone, I would have eaten this as a sandwich for old times sake. The visit was really about the memories even though a different restaurant in a different city.
ETA: The fries should have spent a few more minutes in the fryer. Today’s breakfast was last night’s leftovers. Kraft mac n cheese with brussels sprouts and carrots. I never buy Kraft and never the gooey cheese packet version, but when I saw it on sale, I bought it. It reminds me how bad and disinterested a cook my mother was / is. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...46e23ad97.jpeg |
