Saturday morning, up early and on the road to welcome another day into existence — at least until my stomach takes control and zeros the Vespa towards a place for breakfast. In addition to fine roads for riding there are a lot of small, locally owned eating establishments to are a perfect addition to a fine ride.
On this morning my mind is set on The Naked Egg Cafe in Pine Grove Mills, Pennsylvania.
The Naked Egg is situated along PA Route 26 as you enter Pine Grove Mills coming from State College. It’s in the place that for years was occupied by Watkins Dariette. This is my second visit since they opened about a month ago and I have to say I’m about ready to make the place my go to eating establishment. They’ve done wonders transforming the interior space into something special, the food choices are extensive, and it tastes great.
You can see menus on the Naked Egg Cafe website.
I ordered a simple steak and eggs breakfast. Sitting here writing I wish I could have it for dinner but they closed at 2pm today (Sunday). Oh well, next week…
The toast, eggs and home fries were perfect but the steak, a luscious 4 oz. filet — I told the waitress it was the best steak I’ve tasted in years.
So, if you find yourself in central Pennsylvania and need a good place to have breakfast or lunch, try the Naked Egg.
Never been much into steak and eggs but that sure does look good!
Canajun: I’m not a regular steak and eggs guy. Bacon is my usual choice. But I’m really glad I made the choice. Looking forward to trying some of their other fare…
Mmmmmm, steak and eggs…..my favorite.
As to the Egg being Naked, do Eggs clothe themselves in PA?
Thanks for the tip. I had no idea . . .
Wow! The menu looks good.
Charlie6 (Dom): In the East eggs cloth themselves in a hard shell. I think in the West they drop loose from birds while in flight or perching. I think I saw a lot of it when I was in Colorado!
Poppawheelie: It is a nice surprise isn’t it? Let me know what you think when you visit.
Steve…
given your expertise finding superb
eating establishments in your vicinity have you ever considered making either a short list or even a carry it with you notebook which could be on line and updated as required?
In years past before the turn of the century I too enjoyed travelling stateside, in my case both on two and three wheels
and four wheels to photograph railways. Was reviewing images taken on my first trip, with a friend in 1965; that dates me eh?
And found, the smaller eating establishments were often far better in many ways than the so-challed chain establishments.
One of these days I too shall return, on four wheels, sadly however that of itself shall make no difference to the journey itself, and the on-the-road eating establishments. Also want to attend the Creamery at State College as illustrated in one of your very early postings.
Steve:
I think I would like the Naked Egg Cafe. I love eggs . . . and filets too even though I usually order Bacon.
I could also try a philly cheese steak too. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it
