Greasy spoon goodness at Mom's Place in Tampa

Several hours after having eaten, I am left with the feeling of having a heavy lead brick in my stomach, gently pulling down on my diaphragm. In somewhat of a grease coma, I can think of nothing better than lying on the living room floor and dozing off to the sound of golf on the television.

Don’t get me wrong breakfast was good. It was filling. It was fairly tasty. I had the country steak (i.e.: country fried steak) covered in white gravy, with over easy eggs, hash browns, and a biscuit. You get what you order, and I ordered a lead brick. My husband David's breakfast of pork chops and eggs appeared less heavy. How they managed to slice pork chops that thin, bone and all, is beyond me. Alas, his meal managed to weigh him down, too. Maybe it was because they allowed him to get pancakes instead of toast at no additional charge? David summed our breakfast up perfectly after we left: "We are well on our way to 300lbs." The meal was very reminiscent of similar breakfasts we have had at Nicko’s or Pot Bellies.

Had we gone on a crazy adventure last night, this breakfast would have been great hangover prevention.
