I just want a normal breakfast Damn it!

In L.A. it is hard to find a place to have a nice normal eggs and hash brown breakfast.

1) the lines are just too long to eat. (See Doughboys (3rd Ave. might still be closed because of some"issues"), Toast, Griddles)

2) The food often starts out normal, but gets a weird L.A. twist. For example, american fries with a tomato consomme, wasbi infused hash browns, omlettes covered in vegan chili.

I thought I finally found that place that I was looking for in Eat Well, a local Los Angeles chain of diners. I really love diners for some reason, maybe because they are no nonsense, in and out places to eat.

Eat Well has a great menu. It has something for everyone from the breakfast traditionalists like myself to the vegan set. I was very impressed by the food, but there were other things that didn't sit well with me.

Visit 1: On her first day of training and little menu knowledge our waitress began to take tables only 45 minutes into her very first shift. It took a long time to get our food and our poor, nice server looked like she was going to burst into tears at any minute.

Visit 2: Fine, nothing happened out of the ordinary

Visit 3: Our waiter had over half of the restaurant because during out hour and a half visit, a cook left a waitress left and so did a cashier. Odd.


I think I am leaving this place alone for a while. It doesn't seem like it has its act together yet and the management seems to be on the fucker side.

As a side note, if anyone thought of franchising Hell's Kitchen in Minneapolis here in Los Angeles, I think it would do really really well.
