Foodie Interlude - Yelp.com and biscuits

Cracked Egg Cafe, Kernville


A morning routine while my coffee is brewing, is to check what is trending on Yelp.com, a social media site with ratings and comments on local businesses, for top breakfast spots in towns that we are passing through.

Like this morning, we were driving mountain roads through the Sequoia National Forest and I picked Cracked Egg Cafe, a gem in Kernville, a diner with locals meeting for coffee, catching up on their news, waitress back and forth with coffee pot refilling my mug, local newspaper for soduku.

Classic counter chairs and an old black and white tiled floor. I could picture Jack Reacher sitting back to the wall and watching the door drinking his hot, black coffee.

Lovely.





Eating twice a day is a good strategy when faced with breakfast here in US. I decided to be a bit more adventurous this morning and ordered the biscuit side, as opposed to the standard sourdough bread.

It was a light and quite delicious scone.

Think I will pass on the gravy though.
Its good with marmalade.

And the O'Brien's turned out to be hash browns with bell peppers and onions, we learn.
