Welcome to the country
On the way back home from visiting my family (my grandma's in rehab now! yay! another step closer to coming home), we met my dad for lunch at this hole in the wall called the Hi Neighbor Country Restaurant. Let me help you with that pronunciation. Hiiiiiii NAAAAY-buurrr.
The lunch special: "Hot dogs with sauerkraut" Huh? There was another one listed, but I didn't get that far.
For less than $20, we had:
Dad: double order of white beans with cornbread
David: steak and cheese sub with fries
Me: side salad, vegetable soup and cornbread
And that cornbread? Um. Yeah. SO GOOD. I wanted to bring some home, so dad asked for some to go. The waitress brought a container full of it, six pieces. Actually, those are not pieces. They're hunks. You know you're in the country when you get all that for $1.75.

Oh man, I love places like that. You should try McLean's for a good, old-fashioned country breakfast, or Karen's if you'd like to slip into a food coma. Also, you don't have to be in the country. We ate breakfast every morning in Jersey City at a place called The Flamingo, where the breakfast entrees were so big they made the table buckle. So good, too. And cheap! (The only thing that was cheap in that part of JC).
The worst things about those places:
1. You never really know what you're eating. I mean, the hidden stuff. But you can probably be sure that it's a ton of butter.
2. You end up smelling like the place for the rest of the day. ICK. I hate that.
But yeah, lots of food. For cheap. Hi Neighbor was actually really good. The food didn't taste greasy and I didn't smell bad when I came out. What a combo!
