lunch 8.10: the maine diner.

“breakfast for a diner lunch.”

What do you do when you can’t decide between the best pancakes in the universe, almond French toast that you’ve never seen on any other menu, and a desire to always have vegetables in your life?  When in doubt: order all three and share.  My sister, mom, and I split up these three dishes with sides of real Maine maple syrup, giving our palates eclectic flavor without missing out by choosing just one.

I’ll probably never tire of saying how much I adore sharing food, particularly when dining out.  The atmosphere was as casual as it comes: paper menu and paper napkins, plastic cup of water with a bendy straw [bendy straws makes me feel like a four year old, in a good way.]  This is diner food, but it is the best diner food.  Our three part shared spread was just the way to appreciate it.

My remark midway through my plate:  ”This is just as good as dinner last night.”  Dinner last night was a dimmed lighting, double bottle of syrah, freshly seared halibut, fudge pie with maple ice cream kind of affair.  And still, I stand by my statement.  Sometimes, a diner-style breakfast for lunch is all you really need.
