I stumbled on this place after pulling an
all-nighter providing contract transportation in the South Florida area.
My last trip ended in the quaint town of Wellington, Fl., which I
first learned of while researching National Cemeteries for Veterans.
The South Florida National Cemetery is located nearby off State Road
7 in Lake Worth, another quiet town. I dropped off many other riders
in Wellington and thus was able to look the town over after my Internet
research. It was everything that I imagined in terms cleanliness, well-manicured
lawns, pristine shopping areas, and friendly residences. Those amenities;
however, come with a pretty hefty price tag which for the moment is out of my
price range. I am talking about the median price of homes in the $500K
range.
The area is also well known for horse farms
and shows, in fact, I dropped a nice couple off for this really big show off State
Road 7 that I collected way over in Lantana offA1A near the ocean. I forgot where they traveled from but
do remember that it was not the State of Florida. This show was
so popular that they had to employ shuttle buses to transport the guests back
and forth from their vehicles. I love horses but ironically have never ridden
one nor have I petted one. I came close to petting one at the Brattonsville
Plantation in South Carolina but chickened out because of the mean look
that he gave me. Unlike dogs, horses rarely show emotion. Emmy Award-winning
actor Glynn Turman agreed during my exclusive
interview with him at the National
Black Theatre Festival in Winston-Salem, NC.
When I pulled into the shopping plaza I began
to worry that this breakfast meal would be out of my price range which is
typically under ten bucks (minus tip). I then decided to go ahead with my plan
because I was really hungry and the next place was miles away. Besides, it was Sunday
morning and folks were beginning to line up after I arrived at about 8 A.M.
(EST). The interior decor was pretty fancy with marble-looking tables, hard
wood floors, and heavily-cushioned high back booth seats. Even the china was
very fancy and square in shape. I was greeted and seated within just a few
minutes mainly because I was solo. Most of the other guests waiting were at
least two or more. My server appeared in about five minutes and was very
friendly and cordial. I ordered the two egg combo with wheat bread and half ham
steak.
While waiting for my order I did get a chance
to check out the men's room and it was just as immaculate as the dining area.
My order was up in about 15 minutes, due to the large crowd, and my
total came to just $6.95 (without tip) which was much lower than I
expected when I drove up to this place. Low perhaps because I ordered water as
my beverage; but still not bad for such a fancy place. The presentation was
awesome; the eggs perfectly prepared -- not too soggy or over cooked -- the ham
the same, and wheat toast lightly toasted, just like I like it.
All in all it was a very pleasant and tasty breakfast
experience for a very reasonable price. My only criticism is that there were a
few small black ants moving in and out of my table's side molding during my
meal. I prefer them over flies any day.
