Nikkis

Well its been a while, since last blogged, and frankly I was gonna skip this one.... but I guess any new place deserves a comment or two.   My Buddy Tim,yes the very same Tim from "Tims to go" catering. one heck of a cook! His girlfriend Sara were at Nikkis, the former 272 in Covington,for dinner and from what they said,had a great meal, Tim said the bfast menu looked good,so what the heck lets give er a go shall we? So we had a few more with us today, not the usual FF trip, so along with Ken and Val (Hot T and Smoj) also in attendance, were my daughter's Jessica and Cassidy! yay! and of course Cassidy's boyfriend Brian.       Cassidy ordered the Eggs Benny, Brian, the Taco omelette. Jessica ordered the Eggs Benedict, with a few variations, Egg scrambled well done,.... but please only 1 egg split between the two muffins... Really?  Sound familiar? apparently the Tomato doesn't fall too far from from the bush ay? Ken had a sausage and egg scramble.  The name of what Smoj ordered escapes me, but it consisted  of a couple eggsters, slab o ham, and biscuits and gravy,and I'm pretty sure she walked right through it , for her plate was as empty as a Mariners box score!          Msue ordered one thing ,then changed her mind and received Bacon and eggs instead,(eggsscrambledwelldonesideofsalsa)  not exactly what she ordered but stayed with it any way. Along with his meal Ken,  ol Hot T had the Hot Tea, weird huh? Water for Smoj... Ice Tea for MSue.   Coffee, (I think it was coffee) for the rest of us.     Cassidy's Eggs Benny was good, tho not spectacular, Brians Taco Omlette was really good, he stated, and as with most men his age (22?) really gone, Brians a good eater! Jessicas funny order of eggs benny arrived with two eggs insted of one,( no sh--) and both girls only ate half of their food .  Hasbrowns on all plates were crispy and good! MSue said the bacon was good! ( she does love her bacon).       I, as is my usual, a new place always dictates I order CFS, this I did, it arrived with the same crispy browns and eggs over medium, most was pretty good...... yep I said most, the Chicken fried Steak was probably the worst Ive ever had, while it looked good , it was tough, overcooked, and the gravy was tasteless , not a happy eater Jim...although the coffee was plentiful, I think it was made in the same pan as the country gravy, it had no taste as well.      Some of the food was good, we really should go back at some point, not sure we will, If Im going to Covington for breakfast, I'll go to  "Draft Choices" the home of the best CFS around!
