It’s been said that I enjoy the same restaurants that tend to attract an “older” population. A population in which the most popular job title is likely to be “Retired”. A population that might just contain an inordinate number of grandmas and grandpas. A population of senior citizens, if you will.
My friends, the old folks and I share a common interest in places like Bob Evans and Cracker Barrel. I know why I like them–breakfast at any time of the day. It’s absolutely glorious. Anybody who disagrees just dropped a rank on my list of friends.
Now, this is all well and good in most parts of the country. But in Washington? In Washington there just aren’t any Bob Evans. How weak is that? All I want at the end of the day is a delicious Sunshine Skillet. But where am I supposed to get one now? It was a sad realization that my days of Sunshine Skillets and Pot Roast Hash have all but come to an end.

yeah, i’ve generally noticed that when you pick the restaurant we go to, there tend to be many people with oxygen devices, black socks, and sandals hanging about…i think you need a change since there aren’t any bob evans, and try out some brunch!

There’s definitely a nice brunch place a few blocks from my place with some good omelettes and hash browns. As far missing food chains, there are no Steak n Shakes in the city. None. It’s unfortunate since I’m a fan of the frisco melt. There are also no Wal-marts, but I’m okay with that.

no walmarts or steak n shakes here, either… at least, none that i know of. maybe they’re just averse to cities, heh.
