Travel Eats – Breakfast on the road
Breakfast while traveling poses several challenges ranging from limited healthy options to time constraints. First finding healthy choices can be difficult, second is consistency and third is time.
Having egg white scramble with vegetables with a side of sliced tomatoes – the dish comes out mounted with cheese and buttered toast. Close but doc a few points off from being conscientious and a good healthy breakfast.
What does one do? Go for suitable standard options. How about Egg Benedict – sauce on the side (to see the skill set of the breakfast saucier). The second struggle was the benedict as the poached egg white was pealed back and not hidden by the sauce. Going further the egg was unfortunately hard, cooked too long ago – and sand bagged. Not suitable and definitely a struggle.
The time restraint forced to compromise and not send back the breakfast dishes. Just as in Goldy Locks could mine be just right? After all traveling and breakfast options of Eggs and waffle are breakfast staples.
The Third chance proved successful. Additionally we had really good service and the atmosphere was charming. I would give this one a rating three forks out of five, with five being really good.
This particular restaurant is rated as one of the best local breakfast restaurants and do not feel to adventurous to try other options for breakfast on the road.
