Hi Dave,

 DD> As far as I am concerned there is no such thing. The phrase "good
 DD> grits" is an oxymoron in and of itself.

After being raised on cream of wheat and oatmeal, with the occaisional
maltex thrown in, I like grits. You can do so much more with them than
the above mentioned hot cereals to make them appealing. I never eat
grits plain, if nothing else, they get butter and salt. On a good day,
it'll be cheese or bacon, usually the former since Steve didn't eat
bacon for so long. Otherwise, I'll scramble an egg and put it in. BTW,
Steve doesn't like grits that much either, but probably more than you
do. (G)

So why don't you ask the waitress to have the grits put on his plate &
hash browns on yours? If you're there often enough, you should be
recognised as the duo that do the trade off. I'll go for either or,
depending on what I'm wanting more. Last December we stopped overnight
in Savannah, breakfast was included in the room price. It was 2 eggs,
any way you wanted, choice of toast (white or whole wheat); I think a
biscuit was also an option. Hash browns were standard, couldn't even sub
grits but did have tea instead of coffee. I guess they figured since
they were right off of I-95, they'd get more business from northerners
who didn't want grits. Still, I think they should have had that option
available.


 DD>       Title: Huddle House Western Breakfast Wrap
 DD>  Categories: Five, Breads, Eggs, Cheese, Vegetables
 DD>       Yield: 1 serving

 DD>       1    (10") flour tortilla
 DD>       2 sl Yellow cheese
 DD>       2 lg Eggs; scrambled
 DD>       2 oz Huddle House signature
 DD>            - Western Mix *

 DD>   Heat Western Mix. Scramble eggs. Place tortilla on round
 DD>   plate and microwave for 10 seconds. Place cheese slices at
 DD>   the left edge of the tortilla. Place Western Mix on top of
 DD>   cheese so that meat is in a straight line from the edge of
 DD>   the tortilla through the center. Place scrambled eggs on
 DD>   top of mix. Fold right edge of tortilla over, then fold
 DD>   bottom edge of tortilla so that the fillings are just
 DD>   covered. Roll tortilla from top to bottom to top, so that
 DD>   fillings are completely enclosed.

 DD>   Serve.

 DD>   Huddle House signature Western Mix:

 DD>       8 oz Diced ham
 DD>       1 md Yellow onion; diced
 DD>       1 c  Bell pepper; diced
 DD>       1 c  Diced tomatoes

We do varients on the theme. Personally, I'd throw in some cheddar or
swiss cheese after the eggs were pretty much set. I think the Savannah
HH was where Steve first had sweet potato fries.
