In fact, about the only cooking show I can stomach is the show by that name, "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives". As much as I love the food and the great variations on the PEB theme (pancake, egg, burger) at the local place, there's something that those joints could learn from a national chain.Coffee refills are too slow almost everywhere. Perkins on the other hand gets this right. If you order coffee, they give you the pot. That's what I'm talking about. They brew small pots, directly into this air-tight carafe so you can enjoy fresh coffee during your stay. Today, I spent about 2 hours in a Perkins and finished the pot. It was diner-coffee, that is to say, not great, but not bad. But I never had to wait for a refill and I never had to deal with the dregs at the end of the pot, nor the regular/decaf problem.
Perkins, you get a gold star.
... maybe it's just me.
PS - this is post number 99 on Brian-Food. I'm going to have to find something pretty good for #100. Stand by.
