darn. neither dunkin donuts nor stake 'n shake have grits it seems.

not only that, no sign on the stake 'n shake menu of those yummy fried biscuits i used to have. and no sign on the dunkin donuts list of croissant thingies of the spinach ones i used to get. there were only 4 kinds at the time. and i could swear there was a spinach one. well there is still an egg and cheese one anyway. but you don't eat cheese. hmmm. they maybe could hold the cheese, lol. but still no grits. oh well.

Skeeters had grits. but when i googled skeeters - there were soooo many restaurants under that name, and i couldn't tell whether ours was one of them or not. also, since we always went in the middle of the night or very early morning (4-5 am) i'm not sure if they served breakfast in the evening. i know they had a menu change at 4 am, since we would sometimes go for hot wings but in that case we had to get there by 4 am becaue they stopped serving those at that time. so i suspect breakfast started then... and probably stopped some time in the day time.

anyway, i couldn't figure out which one our skeeters was, and the locations wouldn't help because it closed a long time ago. so maybe the whole chain closed or it wasn't a chain.

with denny's and ihops both, i had ones that i liked a lot and ones i cared less for, as far as seating arrangements. and i mean MAJOR differences in the setup. so, if you don't like one you might try another. there were lots of denny's in my area and all but one were 24 hour. fewer ihops. then again i used to drive a lot... and didn't mind night driving. i know the driving thing is a bigger deal for you.

good luck checking out the mom and pop shops. often better food than chains anyway.

Hi, I love breakfast for all meals. But I have been seeing just what local
places do breakfast, and most of yours do.

Especially with the way the economy is right now. They have learned people
like it for all meals.

So go around and check them out. That way you will know if you like
the way they sit people too.
