E and I have an unwritten rule if someone wants to go someplace, we tag along and not criticize. So, when E said she was hungry for breakfast the other day and said she didn’t want to cook, I suggested we try Fat Nats that moved into St Anthony next to Cub and the liquor store. E said OK let’s see what NAT has to offer us.

It was about 10:30AM on Saturday when we arrived and were seated immediately. I’m a believer in little things. Take me to an Engineering Lab and I can tell you within fifteen minutes how good of engineering they do. That extends to other businesses. When I saw lead solder threw into regular trash at 3M I was amazed and not so much when they got sued for environmental issues. Yes, I fixed the lab I ran.

So, when I looked at the leg of our table and saw a NAPKIN to keep it from rocking, I knew we had trouble. Fix the damn thing, it looks terrible and what ELSE are you letting slide?
Other than that, the place was full so it must be ok.

We are Perkins people. They are number one in the area for a number of reasons. Perhaps the best reason is they figure out what people want and have it an option on the menu. Like McDonalds, I’ll take a number six.

Though we go to a lot of different types of restaurants yet I don’t try things too exotic. I’ll take a Ham & Cheese omelet, that’s a four in Perkins language. A ham & cheese omelet was not an option. I was TOLD by our server I could do a Build Your Own Omelet for a few schillings more. I don’t want to spend a few schillings; I just want a Ham & Cheese Omelet. Well, we made no scene but none-the-less we got in our order.

Did you ever play the restaurant game: Married, Dating, Friends, Workmates? We had that going next to us. They sure did cover a lot of issues. It was possibly because of this. That we had not right away noticed it was thirty minutes since we ordered and no food.

So, we flagged down our waitress, checked on our status and it only took ANOTHER ten minutes to get our order in a now mostly empty restaurant. Maybe our order was a bit complicated we DID order: French Toast and a Ham and cheese Omelet. Was it the best Omelet I ever ordered, not by a long shot. Was it the worse, no it didn’t make THAT length either of course letting drunk Jimmy cook camping breakfast while drinking a beer and smoking a cigar was perhaps a good choice.

The bill for breakfast was $33.54, the breakfast was at best passable. We did the review, we won’t be back!
