Sunday Five: Dinner Food 82

When I travel alone, I don't mind eating breakfast or lunch alone, but as I have gotten older, I don't enjoy going out to dinner alone.  I will, but I would prefer not to.  If I find a local diner, like the one above in Soda Springs, Idaho I love to stop for breakfast.  The food is simple, good, moderately priced and the service is polite and attentive.  

1: What is your favorite meal to eat in a Diner? 

2: Did you eat in Diners when you were growing up? 

3: What is your "go-to" order for breakfast? 

4: How close is the nearest Diner to where you live? 

5: Do you order something hot or something cold to drink? 

My answers: 

1: What is your favorite meal to eat in a Diner? Breakfast

2: Did you eat in Diners when you were growing up? Only when out with my mother, not my father. 

3: What is your "go-to" order for breakfast? Eggs Benedict 

4: How close is the nearest Diner to where you live? There is one across from the subway station about 15 minute walk from home. 

5: Do you order something hot or something cold to drink? Always something cold, iced coffee if they can make it. 

Please share your answers in the comments.

  4. 1. Breakfast or lunch is great at a good diner.
    2. We didn't eat out at diners when I was a kid. Couldn't afford it. But once in a. while when flush with cash, we'd get take-out hamburgers as a special treat.
    3. Eggs benedict or huevos ranchero for me!
    4. There's a few within driving distance in my city.
    5. I usually just drink ice water in restaurants.

  5. You kept writing "dinner" when you meant to write "diner". I guess that this is the kind of thing that tends to happen when someone is close to retirement. I have been in a few homely and independent diners in America. I loved them. Maybe my favourite one was in a godforsaken desert town called Boron in California but after checking Google Streetview, I do not think it is there any more. It's a hard place to make a living.
