Oh dear, this will be out of order from our trip, but as I (Pat) am food obsessed, I have to add this.
On the trip from Salt Lake City to Reno we stopped at Elko, Nevada for breakfast. This has a history for us. When we drove this journey 4 years ago, we ended up by chance at this restaurant that was the best omelet and breakfast I have ever eaten. And I am not a breakfast person, so this really was good! I have thought about this place for years, and was looking forward to returning there on this trip. Dan of course kept preparing me for the possibility of it not working out, and I of course was determined for it to work out! (typical of us!) Of course, we couldn't remember the name of it, only some of the details of where it was and what it looked like inside. Well, Dan thought he spotted it, I was very skeptical and unsure that he was right, until I saw the menu, and then Yes! it was the same place!
The omelet was as good as I remembered: fresh delicate eggs, fresh slices of avocado, crisp bacon, good white cheddar cheese, and slices of hot pepper. And the biscuits--ummm, homemade, flaky, warm.
We didn't take any pictures, we were too hungry to think about it since we'd not eaten since we'd left Salt Lake City. But we did buy a coffee mug! The name of the place is "The Coffee Mug." A treasure!
But here's the calamity, the only calamity on the trip out here----the mug broke, as you can see as we completed our travels. Oh, woe is me! (but valentine's day is coming, hint, hint, hint to Dan)
