For the past few days, work has required me to be on the road early in the morning.  Because of this, I end up eating breakfast on the road.

Since my travels took me to an area where there are several restaurants that serve breakfast, I has a good selection.  My first selection was Cracker Barrel.

Now, while I have eaten lunch several times at Cracker Barrel, I have never eaten breakfast there.  So, this was a first.

I walked through there ample gift shop and waited to be seated.  Within moments, the hostess seated me and gave me a menu.  Great!!! I was hungry.  I envisioned ham and eggs with whole wheat toast.  Or maybe sausage and eggs with whole wheat toast.

But, when I opened the menu, I saw ham and eggs with biscuits and gravy and grits or sausage and eggs with biscuits and gravy and grits.  No toast, only biscuits and gravy and grits.

Careful thought was required.  Did I want ham and eggs with biscuit and gravy and grits or sausage and eggs with biscuit and gravy and grits or ham and eggs with biscuits and gravy and grits?

Since my waitress seemed to hoover by about every minute, I gave up looking at the menu and ordered.  Two eggs and sausage which came with biscuits and gravy and grits. Toast was not an option.

When my order arrived, it came on two plates and a bowl;  A plate for the eggs and sausage, a plate for the biscuits and gravy and a bowl for the grits.

The eggs were very small and the sausage tasted sweet like it had maple syrup on it.  I tried  dipping my biscuit in my eggs but the biscuit just disintegrated.  Rats!  The grits were, well, grits.  No surprises there.

There were two packets of jelly for the two biscuits.  This was barely enough to cover the saltiness of the biscuits.and nothing more.

With 8 dollars for the meal and another 2 dollars for the coffee, I can understand why everyone else goes to Mickey Ds.  But, if you like biscuits and gravy and grits, Cracker Barrel is your place to be.  Besides, you can always visit their gift shop.
