I hate when that happens. Also, in this time of staff shortages when I
have been "tasting" the lunch special at a particular venue and arrive
to find that they have closed due to "staffing" issues.

No, it doesn't but then one of the least common things in this world is
common sense. Bv)= I did fill my tank in that 30 miles away town last
might for le$$ than I'd have spent "at home". But, I was there working
and getting paid mileage to make the trip. So, for me it was a win-win.

Title: Charlie Parker's Diner Breakfast Horseshoe
Categories: Pork, Breads, Cheese, Sauces, Potatoes
Yield: 1 Serving
1 English Muffin
2 lg Eggs; cooked as desired
4 sl Thick-cut bacon
6 oz Cheese sauce
6 oz Sausage gravy
12 oz Shredded hash browns
Butter and grill both halves of an English muffin to a
light gold appearance.
Place both halves of the English muffin on a plate,
buttered side up.
Place 2 strips of cooked bacon on each English muffin
half.
Ladle 6 oz of cheese sauce on one English muffin half.
Ladle 6 oz of sausage gravy on the other English muffin
half.
Cover entire plate with freshly cooked hash brown.
UDD Notes: I've et this critter. It's good. But, there
are better (I think) breakfast shoes in Springfield.
Nearly every breakfast joint around here has a version.
The secret (if there is one) is in the cheese sauce and
especially the sausage gravy.
