Diamond in the Rough? Nope, Federal Way!

The waters are a risin in Federal Way, but that didn't stop the Famished Four, {FF} from their weekly AM Nosh. Todays Venue de Chew, Diamond Jims in Beautiful, all be it soaked F Way. To be clear, The Famished Four was minus one, MSue is in Baltimore, Delaware and Wash DC till friday. Smoj and HT Ken picked me up bout 9:00 and we sloshed our way out. We had been to DJ's before but not for a while, It's kinda funny tho, when in Federal Way for breakfast, you seem to run into familar faces, It Seems all us folk who live out that way eat breakfast at the same 3 restaurants, Black Bear Diner, Village Inn or Diamond Jims , they sorta go in a circle, you know visit one place for a while till they screw up something then off to the next place untill they in turn cook your eggs to hard... then to the next, we however dont eat at any of these places all to often, dont get me wrong now all three are decent,quite frankly I think they all make their coffee in one giant urn and share it between the three of em... Sigh... such is my quest. But nuff said bout that, Diamond Jims is pretty good, no waiting , good service and the food arrives hot and fast. we were seated immediatly, asked what our Bev o choice would be, Coffee for me, just water for Smoj, and Hot T for ol HT , didn't see that coming did ya? so Ken got his tea, Val her water, Coffee ?....... musta forgot. Our Server arrived and took our order, and assured me the coffee would arrive soon. Now I know the coffee in these places kinda sucks but doggone it I still want it,and just when I was gonna say.. Scuse me, my Breakfast arrived along with my first cup of Cafe de Mediocre. DJ's Eggs Benny for me, their rendition is a triple egg affair along with browns, pretty good Hollandaise. Tho my eggs were runnier than perfect { better than too hard}, Thats Not what she said! I am talkin eggs here, kinda had to get my own ketchup.. oh well I shouldn't really whine to much it is what it is right? Smoj had had a Ham and cheese scramble, browns and toast, she was a good eater this morning, almost all gone . Ol Hot T along with his namessake, had the Waffle breakfast, Two eggs two links... He said it was good, what was good was the price ,mine was 12 bucks out the door! I'm sure Ken and Vals was equally thrifty! We will I'm sure at some point go back.. not sure when, Lucky for me there are many Starbucks close by! ...... P.S Like I said earlier,bout runnin into folks, we ran into an elementary teacher of both our daughters Jess and Cass! she's one of the people we see at these joints, always great to see her, dressed all Chrismassy, Mrs Muscutt! yep one of the good ones for sure. Still got the lipstick on my cheek to prove it!
