OT - what's your favorite breakfast meat

[kgilbert78]

the diner? on Ridge Avenue? That would be in Roxborough, not Manayunk.

Brain f@rt. Yes, of course you are correct (I'm from an old Manayunk/Roxborough family--I've probably got 30-50 family members buried in the adjacent cemetery and my grandparents and aunt and uncle lived a block or so down from the Ridge on Lyceum, which dead ends into the diner).

Eggs Benedict is pretty decadent because of the hollandaise sauce.

There's a place that serves eggs benedict--but over a crayfish cake--in New Orleans in the CBD. Awesome.

No biggie. I was just busting on you. The boundary between Roxborough and Manayunk gets a little gray (even more so since Manayunk became fashionable in the past 25-30 years).

I've had more than a few excellent breakfasts at Bob's Diner.

And Roxborough much less so.... My mom found that funny as she was a true Manayunker, born on Baker Street, and was teased for being from the poor side of town back in the day.

Absolutely. It's like an inversion took place. Those that grew up in the area, and/or remember Manayunk when it was not a place that anyone went to for dinner, shopping, nightlife, etc. just shake their heads in disbelief.

I have to go with goetta

Goetta looks delish. I'll have to give it a go next time I'm in Cincinnati.

Oh, Jesus, I can just imagine. This definitely required a response at 2 in the morning. (I had to take a short walk and it takes a few minutes to get back to sleep.)

Yep. I had dinner at Bourbon Blue last year (business trip) on the canal--and I had that same reaction. There was pretty much nothing--excepting the bridge and train station--in Manayunk when I was younger. The only thing we went there for was church (the former First Pres).

With wild blueberry sausage....

I just salivated, literally. New Orleans food, just f'n awesome.

Bacon, but being a native Pennsylvanian, scrapple is a close second. Our family goes to Wildwood, NJ every summer, and when I'm there, pork roll is my breakfast meat of choice. How can you not have that on the list ??

Always been a fan of corned beef hash (Grandma's recipe). Unfortunately most places simply take it from a can and not make it with fresh ingredients. Usually end up very disappointed.

Jimmy J.'s Cafe. Hole in the wall but good food.

Found it though one of those free newspapers--was skeptical but the menu looked good, so we tried it. It was really good.

I LOVE Spam! Spam and eggs, Spam sandwiches, good stuff. Always been a favorite.

Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, baked beans and spam.

I thought we were discussing breakfast? Isn't that more of a bed time snack?
