GUEST FOOD REVIEW FROM WEEKLY MAILER ISSUE 04/14/09
Real Men Don’t Eat Quiche?
Ah, the good old fashioned egg. One of the worlds oldest foods. Historically, domesticated hens have been in existence since 600 B.C., providing us one of the most simplistically nutritional, economical and versatile foods that a chef can be blessed with. Perfection in its fragile but natural external packaging, what exists inside the shell is what many cooks believe is the “cement that holds the castle of cuisine together“. Because of their ability to bind, leaven, thicken, emulsify, and clarify; there are over 685 different ways of preparing the egg. From a nutritional standpoint, eggs contain the highest quality food protein known and with its economical availability combined with how they satisfy the taste buds, they are a sure-fired winner . If you are an egg lover, then you already know that a boiled egg in the morning is a delicious start to the day. One of my favorite meals to create consists of six-eggs blended with a splash of milk (or cream), cubed ham, mushrooms and Parmesans cheese. Poured into a thawed deep-dish pie crust and baked on a cookie or broiler sheet at 350 degrees for approximately 40 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Viola! Easy, elegant quiche! Ever heard the old saying “Real men don’t eat quiche”? Well, I’m not sure who came up with that one because I haven’t met one yet!
Places to Visit:
The Wayside
325 South 325 West, Rupert
Hours: Open 24 hours
Take Out: 436-4800
Frequented by locals and out-of-towners alike, this down home staple was originally founded as The Russet Inn in 1965. With Barnwood Classic pictures of Clint Eastwood and Lonesome Dove decorating the walls, the wait staff is friendly and with a pot of coffee almost always in hand. This is the kind of place that when you go often enough they call you by name. Who says breakfast must be eaten in the morning? If your hankering for a breakfast the Wayside serves them up 24-7! If your really hungry give the old “Big Ben” a try. This omelet is packed and if your ready for a challenge then loosen up a belt notch and dig into this hot, fluffy omelet filled with bacon, ham, sausage, onions, green peppers, black olives, mushrooms, salsa and Cheddar, topped with American cheese and served with hash browns and toast. Priced at $7.50. If you have a sweet tooth, try their big, beautiful scones served with honey butter at $3.25, or smothered with apple, cherry or strawberry, and whipped cream for $4.25. They also serve up a Chicken Fried Steak that consists of a thick cube steak, hand breaded at the time of your order and includes three eggs, hash browns and toast for $8.45. If you really want to get full plus bring home leftovers, ask your waitress to substitute the toast for biscuits and gravy!
