 NB>> I hear you...  yeah, I've seen that too...  And where we think it might

 NB>> We tend not to get noisy...

 DD> I usually don't get noisy .... but, there have been moments. Mostly

And a good manager should be grateful that someone is concerned enough
to let him know...  :)

 DD> I noticed last week that the kitchen staff at my favourite 6 until 2
 DD> "workingman's cafe" has been changing more often than I change the

Sounds like fun...  ;)   Hope he gets a good steady staff soon... :)  

 DD> To see the reviews of the place -
 DD> http://www.mrbreakfast.com/r_display.asp?restid=5820 and ignore the
 DD> single (of five) grumpy a$$hole who wouldn't know a converted gas

There's always someone that has to be grumpy...  ;)

 NB>> There was a sushi place in a local strip-type mall that we had thought
 NB>> to try... we walked in, were assailed by a rancid fishy smell... and
 NB>> walked right back out...  Even had the product been faultless, the pong
 NB>> was undeniably bad...

 DD> The other aroma that makes me suspicious of food quality is
 DD> disinfectants or floral air "freshener" to the point it makes my
 DD> eyes water. 

True that.  

 DD>> moved downtown and called itself "Garden of Eatin'" before moving to
 DD>> the fringes of the state capitol complex as "Holy Land Diner" once
 DD>> more.
 NB>> From cutesy to dignified again... ;)  I presume that they get a fairly
 NB>> steady clientele of state office workers, at least for the lunch
 NB>> hour...?  As long as they keep up a good quality standard, it bodes
 NB>> well for them...  :)

 DD> They seem to get a fair dinner crowd, too. Parking is pretty easy and
 DD> the location is centerish city instead of out with the lunatic fringies
 DD> on the far west side.

Easy parking counts for a lot.  :)  Good food makes it worthwhile... :)

 DD> I was going to post the cinnamon-apple omelette from Mr. Breakfast.
 DD> But, I think I remember you mentioning an allergy to apples ... this
 DD> one is good, too. And if it wasn't you allergic I'll post the omelette
 DD> recipe at some future time.  Bv)=

You remembered correctly... sadly, I am allergic to apples...  sigh....

 DD> This is known as German Farmers Breakfast. It's very filling
 DD> and very good.

Does look quite good... eggs and potatoes and bacon/ham all together...
