2nd Street Grill
Growing up in a farm community there was always a chore to be done, a meal to be made, livestock to tend to...and the list goes on and on. There was no lack of activities to be done. However, when it was chow time everyone came to the table with blessings of the day. They were blessed to have work, food and clothes on their backs. On Sunday mornings it was up early to milk the cows do morning chores then off to church. What came after church was the best part of the week...Brunch and a laid back atmosphere. We looked forward to our Sundays. Especially when it involved good food and great conversation.
Speaking of great food, the honey and I traveled to Frazeysburg, Ohio to try out a little diner called 2nd Street Grill. As you can see it was super small but when you went inside it had a great deal of heart. Only a few booths and stools at the counter where Farmers and town folk sit to relax, gossip and joke with each other. Kim, the cook and waitress was the only one there to wait on the town folks. She was quick and friendly and the community had her back. You don't see that every day.
Looking at the menu my hubby almost always goes for the omelettes. Today was no different. He chose the three meat omelette. This monster of a mouthwatering concoction was savory, and oh so delicious. It was packed full of bacon, ham sausage, cheese with a side of crispy hash browns, toast and sausage gravy. Mmm mmm mmm. He was a happy camper when he was done.
I, on the other hand, went out of my comfort zone and got the Scrambler. It was more than I could eat but oh so delicious. Scrambled eggs covered with crispy, yet tender, hash browns, sausage gravy served with toast and a side of thick bacon cooked to perfection. One happy tummy here.
While we enjoyed our breakfast we couldn't help but listen to some of the locals conversations.
These local people are farmers and town folk that love their community. And, well, unfortunately, after the 28th of January 2019, Wendy, the owner, will be closing this diner down. One of the gentlemen sitting next to us asked if we would like to buy it. I wish I were able to do so but unfortunately we live 2 1/2 hours north and that would be a rough drive every day.
However, if someone reading this blog would be interested in purchasing this wonderful diner it is for sale. Call them and get details. Until then the locals will have to go to a large chain restaurant to do their coffee clatch. We were told that if this diner closes the town will fold up and be a ghost town. So spread the word of how great this small community is and help save this diner. If you get the chance to visit the 2nd Street Grill before the 28th you'll be in for a treat. And...don't forget to tip your waitress. Bon Appetit!
