Welcome to the diner. I'm Helene, your waitress. What'll ya have?
Two eggs over medium, sausage, grits, whole wheat toast, coffee. And then I will pray silently for a mixed fruit flavor jelly container in the basket of little containers of jelly because a0 I love those containers and b) mixed fruit is not only the best, rarest and weirdest flavor, it's a great transparent reddish color, too.
I'd like to start with coffee and water, please.
...
Ok, umm, two eggs over easy and a short stack. Could you serve the eggs on top of the pancakes please? That bowl of seasonal fruit sounds good. What's in it?... Yes, thank you.
Diet Coke to drink, cheeseburger w/extra cheese, bbq sauce and grilled onions, order of extra crispy fries unless you have battered onion rings - I'll have those instead. For dessert I'd like a hot fudge sundae with extra fudge and extra cherries.
Do you guys do a Greek salad? Is it...you know? Yeah, exactly, that's what I meant. That'd be great! And iced tea, if you have it, and also an enormous glass of water. Perfect. Thanks!
Coffee, leave the pot please. Greek omelette (feta and spinach), bacon, and those nice crispy potatoes fried up with onion. And a slice of coconut cake, from the rotating display out front.
French toast on challah bread, turkey sausage, no English muffin. On the side I'd like hash browns (not home fries, real shredded hash browns) and could you please put two eggs, over easy on top of the hash browns? Glass of cranberry juice and coffee, and do you have the Sugar in the Raw? Awesome, thanks.
*dashes in for a cuppa and a slice of pie* Helene! You're a life saver! No, I don't have time for my usual. Work's kicking my ass today. But what's life without a little dessert instead of lunch?
