Speaking of breakfast, my brother and I just got back from a nearby diner. For $12 I got 2 eggs, bacon, sausage and 2 pancakes. The waiter brought out my plate and a second for the pancake, thing was 12" diameter and a 1/4" thick, it was obscenely big. a few minutes later he comes back and asks me if I'd like the second now or to go? I told him there is no way in hell I'm finishing half of the first one let alone any of the second, told him they could keep it.
Sounds like a good deal. My local breakfast diner does a 12 dollar eggs, potatoes, and toast deal. The eggs are to order but they do an American fry style potato. They are actually pretty excellent, but the portion is like 7 potatoes worth on a single plate. I can never finish them, and I dont take them home.
It was a decent deal, but the pancake was so big and dense that it tasted like wallpaper paste. Sometimes quantity doesn't equal quality. But overall, it was a good breakfast, and their menu was pretty large. First time I went there.
Yeah, my usual breakfast is something very light. I only get breakfast occasionally on weekends. I'd kill for a decent baguette but none to be found around the twin cities.
I'm pretty spoiled for choice with nice bakeries, but up until last week most of them were in parts of the city with terrible parking. But one just opened about two blocks away, so I can just walk there and grab something (and save money not buying coffee, since I can just go back home and make a cup).
