I guess going to a restaurant that does things their way can be good or bad depending on what they do. Another place that pretty much does it their way is Vito and Nick's Pizza. All pizzas are cooked well done. I happen to want my pizza that way so I'm happy. But I also prefer a medium rare burger, so if a restaurant won't do it, I'll either deal with it or get something else. As you said riddlemay; that's the "contract" I entered into by eating there. And for me - always scrambled (easy to medium if asked).

I had breakfast at Walker Brothers in Highland Park today. I ordered 'The Continental' with two eggs, hashed browns, toast or pancakes, and orange juice.

"How do you like your eggs cooked?"

"Sunny side up, please."

"The Health Department won't let us serve those. You can have basted eggs."

"That's bullshit. There are no restrictions on sunny side up eggs." (Sometimes words fly out of my mouth without control)

I can't believe I missed this thread and I can't believe this happened.

I just completed my annual training for our health department license for the Taste of Melrose Park and this was reiterated to the vendors as part of our training. Sunny side up eggs yolk does not reach the required temperature and should not be allowed in any restaurant that is following the guidelines of their health license on a city or state level.

I am not saying I agree, but it is put out there as part of their training.

Egg in the hole = breakfast with the bride.



Egg in the hole, count me a Fan!

Cook bacon in pan.
Remove bacon.
Crack egg into pan.
Spoon hot bacon grease continually over egg.
When yolk becomes opaque, remove and eat.
There is no second way.

Not sure what the correct term is for how I like my eggs cooked, but I want the whites set, and the yolks runny to barely runny, preferably the barely runny, but not "hard". The yolk should still be orange and not the "hard" yellow.

Now, I've been told that "over medium" should get that. Ha. One place here in Salem Oregon, which I will never go back to, the white was still clear. I don't think that even counts as over easy.

Sigh, then my friends tell me I'm just too picky.
