Pio got me thinking: What's a great breakfast in your town?
In CoMo go to Ernie's and order the #7: A seasoned hand cut Kansas City Strip, two eggs to order, hash browns. They'll offer you steak sauce, but if you use anything more than a couple shakes of Worcestershire, Don Faurots ghost shall arise to cleave your skull with a clipboard. All the sustenance you need to spend the rest of the day with adult beverages.

The Waysider in Tuscaloosa is probably the most well known breakfast in town, mainly because it was where Coach Bryant read the morning paper and ate country ham with red-eye gravy and biscuits.
quote:
Built in 1906 as a residence, the Waysider was the favorite breakfast place of legendary Coach Paul “Bear” Bryant.” There remains a table in the front corner of the Waysider where he ate.
Heavyweight boxer Deontay Wilder, a Tuscaloosa native, is a frequent diner.
When national TV networks come in town to cover major games, the staff usually eats at the Waysider. Rece Davis counts it among his favorite stops.
This past season, on the day before University of Alabama students went home for their Christmas break, members of the Crimson Tide football team ate a Southern-style breakfast there. That visit is a pre-game Tide tradition.
But with the Rose Bowl game on the opposite side of the country in Pasadena, arrangements were quietly made to have a mainstay fly to California with the team. Roll biscuits at the Waysider.
So far the Alabama entourage has closely guarded the unique biscuits, as there is an unspoken fear that Michigan may try to steal the recipe.

Starkville Cafe is a staple and been in business since 1946. My pledge brothers family has run it and he now runs it
And yes the sign below the check out counter is something you’d expect to see in a small town Mississippi diner

Breakfast has been ruined by moms. Everything is a mimosa flight, etc. Waffle House until I die.

Athens just lost our's in the last year, it was called the Mayflower. Oldest restaurant in Athens. Cash only, seriously old school kind of place downtown. It's under renovation to become a Chipotle. Very sad. Outside of fancy brunch (many in downtown Athens) there is no longer an old school diner-type breakfast place there. But there are six Waffle Houses.

In Knoxville, I would lean towards Pete's Coffee Shop. It's downtown Knoxville about a mile from Neyland Stadium, and has been a fixture in the area since the mid-80s. The day they opened, they had 3 employees...a cook and two waitresses. The cook quit the first day...one waitress retired in 2022...the other is still working there.
In 2019, Food Network named Pete's the Top Diner in Tennessee. It isn't fancy, or pretentious. Pete's is just a place to go for awesome food and a relaxed diner atmosphere.

I don't think if I can ever forgive Tennessee for fried bologna.

Drydock, there's a truck stop a few miles west of Nevada, MO before you get to the Kansas line.

Call me the next time you're riding through west Alabama on your bicycle, and I'll treat you to the Waysider and a Yellowhammer or three.

Still open in Red Stick?
Love the place, my kind of joint but they are closing doors as the older generation retires and the kids don't want the work.

as an aside, I've learned to make ground turkey sausage that you CANNOT tell is turkey. Tastes just like regular Jimmy Dean or whatever pork sausage.
I've always wondered why ground turkey "sausage" sucked so bad. It's because they were probably getting paid by food producers to not try very hard.

I'll need to check that out. I go right by there every year on my way to a buffalo gun match in ks.

No joke, had turkey burgers last night and was raving about how unusually good it was.
Didn't do anything different except add Montreal Steak Seasoning this time (which I love anyway).
Maybe turkey just really needs the perfect seasoning, especially in a sausage, because the fat content is really low, right?
We probably need ArHog in here to school us on this. Do you ever catch the stuff he makes on twitter?

Jennie-O hot turkey sausage is fantastic.
