Post I - Meme's diner

Saturday, February 9 -

I went to Meme's Diner in Lakeland.  The place was clean and looked inviting, the dry erase walls are a cool touch.  Specials, the birthday tree, an "in memory of" sign for a regular...things like that.  Sat at the counter, rather than a table- just being myself, it didn't seem necessary to use a table.  Also, sometimes the counter is the way to go.  The food, as usual was good, but the waitress was....angrified about something.  Darned if I know what.  Nothing I did, that's for sure.  *I* was good.

Service was moderately slow, and the sausage and gravy was from a can, so I got the kielbasa home fry scrambler with Italian toast.  Also, black coffee.  (Always black coffee)

There was strawberry jam (and a lot of it) at the counter, which is rare (usually it's grape jam and "mixed fruit"...which fruits?  No one knows.  Bananas?  Pineapples?  Kiwi?), but I went with hot sauce.  Shut up, it was good!

When the food came out, it was piping hot - one of the benefits of the counter is you're closer to the kitchen, so the food gets to you almost as soon as it's made.  Could have used....something...melted cheese?  Jalapenos?

No matter what, it was good stuff.  I almost got dessert!  Yes, they try to sell you dessert even with breakfast.  I find it endearing.

I'd go again, as it's near the golf course I like to hit in the summer, and would most assuredly advise others to go.
