Two Eggs Overeasy

"You know who would love it?"
"Truckers."

Direct quote from my wife in response to a blog idea.  Brilliant.

Now, the rest of the story...
We are currently in Austin, TX for a music festival, sitting on the proch of our VRBO drinking coffee. Thinking about riding bikes to breakfast and I confirmed that the place we are looking to eat has good breakfast: Two eggs overeasy, wheat toast, bacon and homefries/ hashbrowns. As I enthusiacicatly announced this- everyone giggled a little uncomfortably not knowing that the only thing that I order when I go out for breakfast is... you guessed it... Two eggs overeasy.

So, to combat the uncomfortable silence due to the borderline OCD behavior, I quickly explained that I eat/have the same breakfast when we go out, so I can compare breakfast places/ diners.
The reasoning:
1. 95% of the places have this breakfast option.
2. It's pretty hard to screw this up. It's just eggs and toast.
3. Actually, this is the preferred breakfast option in diners around the world.
4. Damn, it tastes good.

A while back, a friend had mentioned, coincidently, at the place we are having breakfast this morning, that 'Two eggs overeasy' would be a good blog idea. Stories about breakfast. Good reviews of breakfast places in the areas that I have traveled. Comments on good coffee and beer along the way. A bit of a travel journal. You get the picture.

Thus, as I explained this to Rosalinda, my wife piped in...
"You know who would love it?"
"Truckers."



Oh, the name of the breakfast place in question this morning...
Kirbey Lane
