Grams Diner's menuzine is a really fun read. Cheeky, unabashed and doesn't come up with a gazillion synonyms for mouth-watering. World Famous? Really?
So despite every single article I've read about Gram's recommending their Famous Beef Tapa, I ordered Riddles from the Griddle. I had mine with waffles (4) instead of 12 Silver Dollar Pancakes, scrambled eggs and 2 strips of crispy bacon. I did read about someone commenting that their pancakes seemed a bit dry and I thought the waffles would be different, and well, they are still dry and a bit tough. Scrambled eggs were a bit bland which suited me fine and the bacon strips were so crispy they stood out like a pair of rulers.
And I might not have the most sophisticated of palates, but I can almost swear the bacon tasted like crispy chicken skin. :P
The other orders weren't particularly stellar either. The Breakfast for Winners is a burger patty swimming in gravy with 2 eggs and fried rice. My friend just gave me a non-committal shrug when I asked how it was. So nothing earth-shattering there.
The other friend had the Breakfast for Titans, which is US roast beef, 2 eggs and fried rice. We sort of had a different roast beef sight in mind when we ordered. What came was a mound of thinly-sliced beef that hinted of curry spices. It wasn't half-bad, only it was served to someone who hates anything curry-ish. The beef was succulent and not overdone, but really tasted like curry.
So overall, nothing stellar. Maybe we should go back to try what they offer for lunch or dinner, or even give that Famous Beef Tapa a try. Or Eggs Benny? (Yeah, like they said, NOT BENNY'S EGGS!) *me-thinking-really-hard* Anyone with a compelling argument for us to give them another chance?
