I was invited to breakfast at a diner this morning. It was spur of the
moment and I just ran there w/the kids to meet for breakfast.

What would you get? I ended up ordering a hot water for herbal tea that I
brought (Dandelion Tea) and I had a side order of bacon. I blotted off the
grease and left one strip for my friend. The kids split a cheese omelet
and didn't eat the home fries.

I didn't want to get an omelet because i don't trust it. I really want to
be strict right now because I have f'd around for a year and want to lose
these last 20 lbs!!

I am talking about NY diners - not like Dennys or Waffle House whatever -
a real diner. I suppose I could've had a burger or greek salad LOL but it
was only 8:30 am. It's now 1pm and I still haven't eaten, not really
hungry.

Just wonderin' what yous woulda ordered ;o)

You could have ordered the fried eggs.

But I would have gotten the cheese omelet with mushrooms and spinach.
It's a rare diner that makes them any other way than eggs and cheese.
But if you REALLY were concerned, get an egg white omelet.

More concerned over the fake butter and stuff like that. Or if it's an
omelet are they using powdered eggs or real eggs?

don't you trust?

Whatever looked good to me that was LC. So what if it's 8:30? Scrambled
eggs, ham and a few strawberries sounds like a perfectly fine breakfast.
But so does a salad (Oil and vinegar), ground beef patty, cauliflower.

Or nothing if you're not hungry. The time has nothing to do with food.

I was never happy when people brought food or drink materials into my
restaurants. There's an implied criticism. Do you bring flowers to a
florists shop to finish making a bouquet?

*NOBODY* uses powdered eggs any more. That was WWII stuff. Powdered eggs
cost more than fresh if you can even find them. In all my decades of
food service, I've never seen powdered eggs at a food show, in a catalog
or had a salesperson try to sell me some. NY-style diners cook all the
simple stuff from scratch because it's cheaper than to buy heavily
processed foods. They use gravy mixes and the like, but the basic foods
are what they say.

Don't sit there guessing, mostly because the guesses so far have been
way wrong. Ask a few questions.

Most diners use butter or buttery flavored oil on the griddle. I used
buttery oil in some of my restaurants and no one ever noted that it
didn't taste "right" including employees who knew foodservice. No
cholesterol. Liquid and pourable.

I think special teas should be an exception; few restaurants stock them
all, and even fewer make their own, so no need for offense.

I went to an Inn - or B&B in CT and the woman of the house served us
powdered eggs. I asked about it because it was weird. Maybe it was in her
bomb shelter? Lol!! Maybe she mae her own mix or called it powdered eggs
when it was an egg substitute liquid? What's the weird egg stuff at McD's,
I had it as a kid and it was strange stuff.

It seems incredibly greasy on the eggs I've had in the local diners. Not
like butter and if you don't make a point of getting real butter on toast
they give you toast that's practically dipped in some oily un-butter. Is
that the oil? Margarine? Ick!

If they only carried half of what I wanted or their product sucked and I
didn't have another option I guess I would.

What would you take from my bringing herbal tea into a diner? That I don't
drink Lipton tea or that I have a major critique that I am not voicing? Even
decaf tea is too much caff for me so I bring my own. Charge me a buck for
the water - I don't care and besides, I leave a tip!

fried eggs, bacon, coffee. I tend to steer clear of scrambled because I
can't "see" what's in them (ref IHoP). However, if I could be sure
omelets
were ok, a cheese and mushroom omelet would do me just fine 🙂.

Yeah - it's the mystery eggs I was worried about. I dodn't like fried
without toast so I don't order it :o(

Not universally, IME. If they are, I don't go back.

You can ask for a bacon or sausage scramble. Tell them meat, eggs and
cheese only. Some people add milk to the eggs for a moister fluffier
eggsso you might have to mention it

Yeah they scramble the eggs a bit throw in bacon and what ever then top
it with cheese and the cheese melts. They make them like omellettes but
it is broken up and not like a folded pancake. I use to gett he meat
lovers scramble here. It was sausage, bacon, ham cubes with cheedar and
swiss cheese. Was delish!!!! Now I eat 1/2C scrambled egg beaters with
a pinch of crunchy bacon in it.

I would never bring in my own tea, soda, bottled water, I think that it is a
insult to the establishment, and in poor taste, do without-- you can go home
and drink your tea. Eggs in diners are by far the safest menu item to order,
if you are still skev out then order egg whites or egg beaters, they come in
cartons like you would by in the store. What I order:

Eggbeater Scramble with mushrooms and swiss
Hold the Potatos and Toast sub lettuce and tomato, or vegetable if they
have it that early

Well it just sucks that the only thing I can drink at a diner is the water,
and it usually has something floatng in it :oP~~
As a jeweler if I didn't have a stone someone wanted I wouldn't be
offended if they asked me to set one they brought me!
Anyway - it's just a sleazy diner, as long as they are not offended to the
point of spitting on my food I don't care.
