Black and white pudding,proper pork sausages,real bacon,beef tomaotes and mushrooms all grilled plus poached free range eggs on toasted sesame bagels.

The go-to breakfast in Chateau Showbizguru when preparing for two rugby internationals and six hours in the pub watching them.

I'd always wanted to make some curry puffs at home, so today I made some .... and we had them for supper with some Pilsner.

:)

Today is my cheat day after been shredding for the past ten days. I had a reasonable breakfast at Waffle House.

They seem popular in Indonesia...curry puffs, that is.

And then supper after a gallon and a half is a grilled chicken kebab in a pitta bread sandwich with a spicy sauce and a portion of well-done chips.

Protein,carbs and fats in one healthy meal.

Dinner at Fogo de Chao in Dallas. First time there, and the best churrasco I have had in the US. Excellent! Only minor letdown was the absence of farofa, and ovos de cordona.

Is the Grand Central Junior's the same, or is it worth going to the Brooklyn one for the atmosphere? I'm asking on behalf of a non-local bud.

Also, apricot spread on your burger? So, we have grape jelly for meatballs, parmesan and ginger on pizza...that's one reason I find this thread interesting. I enjoyed brain in Morocco, but I'm not sure I could do grape jelly and meatballs (still)!

You know when you are away on an extended trip .... and you yearn for home food. Well ... I was shopping on-line for our first supermarket delivery to be delivered a few hours after we returned back ....

So what did I order? Well ..... puff pastry was half price ......:D

How's Edo for breakfast? I was hungry and walked in at 10 am yesterday morning.

I didn't do the sumo size that I usually do. But the brown rice option is considered a super food and a great deal at 49 cent upgrade. Has helped with my diet.:)

I don't think the Grand Central one is the same at all. I grew up going to the one in Brooklyn and the one at Grand Central just feels like a pale imitation, like one of those sequels that isn't able to capture what made the original so good. Plus, Junior's in Brooklyn is right next to the DeKalb Avenue Subway stop and it's a quick ride to Manhattan.

As to apricot spread on the burger, it got the job done. I ordered this combo on a whim, I called it the salad burger and I thought it fit. Check out the pic:

Good point about the subway access of the original Junior's too.

Those sweet potato fries look swell. Also, if anyone's into bleu cheese fries, Whitman's in the East Village is a place to go.

We ate at a brand new Italian Street food restaurant called Cibo tonight. Authentic Naples wood fired oven, gluten free pasta with braised veal, egg drop soup with chicken and vegetables, salad and gelato for desert.

For those in Calgary, this restaurant is located at Deerfoot Meadows and worth a try. Its a quick serve, high quality and reasonable price. San Pelligrino Aranciata was served as a beverage. Nice touch.
