Biscuits and Gravy at the Denver Diner
B&G at the Denver Diner
After the 4 plus hour flight from NYC to Denver at 8:30 in the morning, all I wanted was the comforting taste of home and travel. So, naturally I talked my father into stopping by the Denver Diner, one of my favorite late night haunts (cheese fries with enchilada sauce anyone?) ever since I was a teenager going to clubs and wasting hours drinking cheap black coffee here or at Denny’s.
Now biscuits and gravy is not the thing to order at midnight, but they are perfect for noon. I ordered the Lonestar Breakfast ($8.49), which comprised four flaky biscuits slathered in heavy, white, sausage gravy; two round, greasy sausage patties; two fried eggs, and a pile of salty and savory golden hash browns. This, this is a breakfast to come home to.
The best part? There is no way I could eat all that, though my eyes greedily ate it all up when I was served, so I took half home and had it again the next day. Yup, some how 24 hours in the fridge made it better. Though at home, I was forced to down the rich flavor of Lamborghini coffee instead of my usual watered down diner brew. It’s good to be home.
