I sat down at a table where, strangely, meat was available and I was offered a portion but did not take it because I felt that they were doing it just out of...

Traditional menu, well cooked up market from the greasy spoon model, lots of local faithful customers, a waitress who is business like and with whom you do not mess. We saw a man and his son eating breakfast. The son was being very difficult about his food, he must have been...
