This is a pukka American-style diner, like you might get in england, but without the obligatory Marilyn Monroe and Jimmy Dean busts. I ordered ‘Vive la French Toast’ and got my first chance to ask for my eggs over-easy, so that’s what I’m getting. I couldn’t really figure out what was going on with the food: it seems like it’s a breakfast thing, so the restaurant is very quiet tonight, and the waitress recommended the weekday breakfast special despite its being 8pm. ‘Pancakes’ seems to generally mean ‘Butterkmilk pancakes’ which are like Scotch pancakes back home - spongey, puffy things. They also have “international style” pancakes - French-style crèpes, German style and some other that I didn’t read. I assume these were the thinner sort. To an extent they have the Dutch thing of mixing savoury and sweet: though sausage, egg, pancakes and strawberries seems a little incongruous to me right now. I think I’ve ordered something all-savoury. I’ll see in due course…
