A few years ago, I desperately wanted to try the much-mythicized Good Gravy! Diner at 8014 N. Western, but real life got in the way. Or, in other words, the damn stroke got me waylaid.
Recently though, I saw a recommendation pop up online that reminded me of its existence. So, just a few days after we settled into our new stomps off N. Penn, my girlfriend and I headed that way for our first Sunday morning breakfast as loving cohabitors. We even brought a friend along for a good gravy measure.
Truth be told, I had been wanting to try Good Gravy! Diner for a while because it was home to one of my culinary bucket list items – chocolate gravy.
It's one of the many accommodating gravy selections the restaurant provides, including other exotic concoctions like chorizo gravy, maple bacon gravy, and jalapeno onion ham gravy.
Good gravy indeed.
Going with a zig while everyone else zagged, my girlfriend chose a gravyless selection from the Local Favorite section of the menu – the Chorizo Egg Platter ($11.99). It was an egg scrambled with chorizo, cheese, tortillas, and hash browns.
