Breakfast in Covington? Hell yea!

Ok, so let me paint the picture for you faithful blogomites. My sister has a BBQ party every year,right about this time every year.They started having this wingding years ago so their kids and their friends could get together,and they as parents could see their kids friends yada, yada.Well its turned into quite the deal, the kids are older now some of their friends have kids of their own ,other people ,neighbors, friends of friends, all seem to be welcome.Lots and lots of good food and fun! So my nephew Troy ask's "Whats on the Breakfast Blog Menu for tomorrow?"{faithfull follower that he is} Of course MSue says back,dont really know most times we just figure it out on the fly. Well you get enough people together,and you start to drink a bit , it seems every body has their fav B-fast joint . To make a short story a bit longer, after numerous suggestions Troy and his lovely wife,Krystal along with their close friends Dave and Krista said we should try "Draft Choice"in Covington, they all raved about it! So Having all the respect that I do for Troy's opinion on such matters,ie; liquor and food and what not ,we decided Why not? Troy and Krystal and Dave and Krista say heck if you go, we'll meet you there.. alright then its a date. So ol Hot T and Smoj Val show up at our place round a bout 8:30 and off we go! Rag top up this trip... Raining in August.. oh well, the restaurant is a little bar/lounge right on the Kent Black Diamond rd. the cross street is Thomas rd I believe. Well sir We walked right in just like my niece said we would, sat right down, not crowded at all ,got our drink on ,so to speak.. MSue and Val had Bloody Caesers, I of course had coffee, ol Hot did not dissapoint ordered Hot T, He asks "Do you have English Breakfast?"The waitress says nope.. Lipton it is! Troy said this place wasnt't fancy ,kinda divey, My kinda place!Well we din't find it that way at all, what it is is small to medium size, nice neighborhood Watering hole that happens to have a really kick ass breakfast! MSue and Val both again ordered the same.. Eggs Benedict.. Cept for Msue had hers with egg scrambled well done, Home Fries instead of the usual Hashbrowns, Cuz my Niece and Krista said order the home fries, I think they both would have preferred the browns! They said they were good but nothin special, But they did really like the Benedict, the sauce was mildy lemony and rich, Canuck Bacon an all and no leftovers.. Mustodelicioso!!! ol Hot T ordered the" Farmers Scramble"; sausage, bacon assorted veggies and cheese and a mix and match of taters, half browns, half homers, Big platter o grub for ol Hot T he could not finish. He did however like it!! Troy says to me , you gotta have the CFS, Uncle Jim, its the best! Well Troy I gotta tell ya.. Hell yeh ! It was damn good, crispy with just the right amount of greasy goodness that I find appealing in a cfs! I also had the Homers, stead o browns They were fresh red spuds cooked perfectly, I liked em a lot! course with Eggsters over medium and wheat toast, mmmm ,I
really should have taken half my steak home , cuz it was hugeormous... noper I ate it all,I did !and sopped up the remaining gravy and yolk with my last piece of toast!! Nice Recomendo Troyo! Cept for one thing... YOU GUYS DIDN'T SHOW UP! Lucky for us the Waitress and the cook did, it was one of the best breakfasts I've had , pretty good jo also, basic but strong and plentiful! I dont know where our travels will bring us too next week Troy, you guys are welcome to join the crew, tho I wont hold my breath! Yep Yep, "Draft Choices" Covington was the right choice for Famished Four on this sunday.. we'll be back!
