It's a long Metro journey from Foggy Bottom to Bethesda, but Ryan and I chose to make it today when we went to brunch at Tastee Diner. We'd been there before, so we knew it would be worth the journey.
Sausage gravy. Fresh drop biscuits. More gravy. Three enormous blueberry pancakes stacked on a plate. Home-fried potatoes with onions. Big slices of ham. Fried eggs lacy from the grill. Draft root beer. Brewed iced tea.
We did breakfast food today, but it was a hard choice....the blue plate specials always sound so good, with classics like chicken-fried steak, turkey and dressing, meatloaf, and on and on.
We ate more than we should have. It's hard not to, though, since the food is all so good (at least from a home-style diner perspective). Have I mentioned their sausage gravy? It's worth a trip up just for biscuits and gravy. Ryan, once again, ordered too much food and had to bring a bunch of it home with him in a go-box.
If anybody has a favorite diner, take me with you! I'm always up for a good meal and classic Americana.
