Hey ever’one. I just figured I’d stop by say hi. With this last weekend’s birthday meat fest my inspiration for cooking hasn’t returned. Just plain wor’d out. Sure I could write a column about something, but that isn’t what I do (clearly). So just hang tight until I can get back on the home cooking trail and we’ll get you some pretty pictures of tasty foodses.
Today was Eric’s day to have his Country Fried Steak Breakfast at Sukie’s Country Kitchen. I’ve posted about this before, so do a search on MeatHenge and you’ll find contact information if’n you’re interested. Suffice it to say that Sukie’s is one of the last strongholds of the traditional 50’s style American … well you get the idea. At this moment they are nearly surrounded by new construction (dirt and big trucks everywhere), they promise they aren’t closing. The old booths look as though they might have been updated sometime in the early 80s with that funky pastel blue and pink and brass (shudder here). But they are booths nonetheless and mostly filled with seniors passing the time with friends. Sukie only employs real waitresses (quick, efficient competent staff) who’ve been there for years. It is always a great time.
This time was no exception. 3 of us headed out in search of an individual ‘splatter’. Take a close look at E’s lunch (above). There must be a new cook, because you can SEE the food. The previous ‘splatters’ have been absolutely swimming in white country gravy. Here we can clearly see the hash browns and fried eggs. Oh and look, you can see an edge of the steak. Neat. I don’t know which is better, but I know Eric cleaned his plate pretty darned well each time we’ve been.

Here’s my spiffy lunch plate of love. That right there is a nice chicken breast club sandwich with tater salad. I was really quite amazed to find the chicken breast juicy and tender. Huh, who knew?

Mr. Head had a hamburger club sandwich that he lovingly dredged through some A1 steak sauce. Oh what fun!

And lastly we give The Clean Plate Ranger award to Eric for his vacant Country Fried Steak Breakfast!
