I did it again! I've visited another restaurant featured on my fav FoodNetwork show, DDD -- Schooner or Later. I cannot help myself -- I just love a dive!!
What's not to love -- if the food is horrible, you're only out of a few bucks; if it's good, you've found a great, inexpensive, place to eat!! My goal is to visit all of the SoCal locations and one in every city I visit.
Since this one was near my mom's place, I invited her to join me. My mom's sort of the Ethel to my Lucy -- she's usually pretty game for any of my adventures. Funny thing is, she usually thinks I have a plan. Usually, I so totally don't. HaHaHa! Anyway, this one is tame -- it's just breakfast.
The first time I tried to eat here, there was a 1.5 hour wait on a weekend morning. The only thing I will wait that long for is an organ donation. So, I left, dejected. This time, the place is full, but there are a few open tables.
When I mention to our server why we're there, she happily points out the items that were featured on the show. One of them is called, The Mess. My mom orders the half portion. The description says it all -- it arrives all jumbled on the plate looking like (wait for it. . .) a mess! It's not bad. Really. However, even a half portion was more than enough for my mom. I ordered the Eggs Benedict.
The server was nice, the coffee was decent, and the food wasn't bad. I'd eat there again. More importantly, having breakfast with my mom was well worth the $27.
Was this located in Long Beach, near the harbor?
