OPEN ALL NIGHT.......
One of the big things we missed when we moved from Jersey
was the Open All Night diners...
Jersey is known as the "Diner State"....and there really is a diner on every corner...
Us Jerseyians love to eat no matter the time of day...
Me and the Boss often frequented the O.B. diner at the Point Pleasant Circle down the shore.. It was not unusual for us to drive down there at 2:00 in the morning
for a bite to eat......
We love diners....
We really miss the diners.....
With their bad food in the middle of the night....Like Fries with gravy....
And our personal favorite from the O.B.Rice pudding....
But we don't have "Open All Nite" diners down here in the South....
and if there are any we haven't found one in the past
24 years....
There is the Marietta Diner....
but we ate there once and despite what Guy Fieri said about it on
Diners Drive Ins and Dives....
it was not a Jersey diner...
So what does the Boss and Wife do when they have a
Hankering
for diner food late at night.....
We fire up the much used JennAircan you see the clock says
"1:06"
That would be A.M.
and
we have breakfast.....
What's breakfast in the middle of the night without some bacon...
And ofcourse you have to have pancakes....From Scratch I might add....
and even half asleep I was able to make perfect round ones....
The Boss prefers his with fresh fruit....
And so that is what we did tonight....

And so that is what we did tonight....kitchen was cleaned by 2:30....
And I heard my father's voice saying....
"I have never seen anyone make such a mess so fast....and be able to
clean up just as fast"....
and speaking of the folks....
My mother would have been 95 today....
So Happy Birthday Millie...
Now get to bed.

It's so ez to make a mess in the kitchen. Nice when the hubby helps w clean up!
In NJ in the early 70s, we used to go to the bars until 2 am on Wed.(Ladies Night)then off to the diner! Can't imagine now!!!!!! Eddie & the Cruisers was filmed at the Jersey Shore...& the famous Tony Marts.
Enjoy your trip!
That looked delicious - but can you eat that late and then lay down - digestion wise?
Love,

My mom would be 97..and would have had fits if we messed up her kitchen..anytime!
Have a good weekend..we are celebrating our 40th..I posted the wedding pic..I remember yours!
Hugs,

What about I-Hop, Sue? They have eggs, and they will clean up for you! LOL!
I loved this post.
XO,
Sheila :-)
Now we love Cobb salads :-)
Your impromptu late night breakfast looks so good!
Happy bithday in heaven to your Mom!
I saved a booth for you!
This is a NJ rite of passage. When you are old enough (or at least have convincing ID) to go out to the bars afterwards there is always the trip to the diner! Now if you were in Pt Pleassant, I have no doubt you were coming from Jenkinsons!
Once a Jersey Girl, always a Jersey Girl! (And we don't pump gas!)

I suppose you could hit the chain diners in desperation. (What in the world are you doing up those late night hours?!)
I have a friend who makes late-night trips to the 24-hr. supermarket for ice cream. She calls 'em night runs.
Joyce
Her favorite is when we boil eggs and make egg salad.
But I do think she would love your late night (early morning??) treat...
Not too many late night diners here, save for old Waffle House, and I have yet to see Guy Fieri visit one of them...oh but how I wish there were...
Love,
Sue
There's just nothing like a good old Jersey diner! Like Mastoris!
The only places i can think of that are open all night are Waffle House and Denny's, probably not what you are thinking of.
My husband would think I was nuts if I decided to cook breakfast at 1am. But then he thinks I'm nuts anyway.
UN SALUDO.
