I ate a McDonalds Big Breakfast.

The breakfast of champions.

When my grandfather was a young man he lived in a multi-ethnic neighborhood on Detroit's west side.  Every Greek immigrant his family knew had a restaurant; so he assumed that every Greek owned a restaurant.  He wasn't too far off in Detroit; the typical family restaurant and the ubiquitous Coney Island serves Greek food.  CB and I went to one yesterday; National Coney Island.  I had their Coney Dogs, a hot dog topped with a meat chili; the chili is flavored with typical Greek spices like oregano and garlic.  CB got the Gyros with chicken lemon rice soup (soup avgolemono, but no one calls it that in Detroit.)

The other common dish most local restaurants carry is a Greek salad.  The salads I had in Athens were simply tomato, onion and feta with an oil and vinegar dressing.  In Detroit a Greek salad is iceberg lettuce, salad peppers, feta, onions, beets, garbanzo beans, and black olives.  The dressing usually an oil and vinegar dressing with feta, oregano and garlic.  This is so common in Detroit that many bar and grills will carry it.

Made a Cuban breakfast this morning.  Cafe con leche, fried ham, eggs and rice, tostadas, and tostones.

Yesterday I ate: prime rib , potatoes au gratin, green beans with almonds, a really good green salad with some pickled onions, more potatoes, and a sampling of about three billion desserts, including ice cream sandwiches made with homemade chocolate chip cookies.

If this is a restaurant in Portland, spill it....I might visit the area in the Spring.
