Breakfast at a Jersey Shore Luncheonette
Miracles of miracles! For some reason I woke up at 4:00 a.m. this morning (I don’t know how I got back on Army Time!) and decided to go out on the Jersey Shore for breakfast at 5:00. I seldom, if ever eat breakfast other than a piece of fruit or some yoghurt.
The quickest place was this little luncheonette near where I live that I’ve probably passed by a hundred times in the 15 years I’ve been stationed/lived on the Jersey Shore but have never visited. When I went in, I was amazed! It reminded me of some of the places I used to go when I was stationed in Georgia or Alabama. Except, of course, I could understand the English spoken by the people in New Jersey unlike many of the people I met in the Old South.
They had sausage gravy and biscuits on the menu which caught my eye. You almost never see that in Jersey! The had almost 20 different types of omelets including a “Nutella Omelet” which had Nutella, banana & blueberries tucked inside. Also interesting were the chicken fried steak omelet, omelet stuffed inside a pancake, fish omelet, sausage gravy omelet, broccoli garlic omelet, and grilled chicken omelet. There omelets were light and fluffy, unlike the flat, scorched ones which seemed to be the standard for Georgia!
Add to that selection 8 different types of Benedict, 7 different types of pancakes including pancakes stuffed with mascarpone cheese and fresh fruit topped with whipped cream and chopped hazelnuts and Nutella sauce or a “Smored” pancake with chocolate, marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs.
Best of all, they had GRITS!!!!
I went with the Waffle Sampler which is a Belgium waffle topped with corn beef hash, scrambled eggs, and sausage gravy (which was excellent) by the way and a side of grits on the side.
My low calorie/low cholesterol breakfast was truly an embarrassment of riches!
