I eat there far too often, but their eggs do kind of wierd me out. I’ve never seen such a perfectly round egg with the perfectly round yolk in the precise center of the white, all exactly the same size. I always wonder if many eggs are combined into one giant Log o’ Egg and sliced up like a log of bologna. ---

[QUOTE=Azeotrope] I always wonder if many eggs are combined into one giant Log o’ Egg and sliced up like a log of bologna. [/QUOTE] That would be the Gourm-Egg, invented way back in 1968 by clever or crazy people at Ralston Purina. ---

I’ve long thought there should be a prize for the Doper who uses one of the wondrous bon mots invented in the Pit that week. If I was flush with cash, there’d be a $1000 Savings Bond for the first one of you to use “Log o’ Egg” in a conversation.
