Word on the Smith St.

If you have not discovered the joy that is Smith Street Diner, I feel for you. The rapture that is the signature Smith St Diner biscuit can only be compared to other masterpieces like the Mona Lisa or perhaps her smile; that mysterious smirk that greets you from the corner of your plate. So fluffy, so buttery, so CHEAP! But I digress.

I've eaten at many diners but this place is a legend. Especially amongst college students here in the 'Boro. On my last excursion to Smith St, this happened:

It was a Saturday, around 11am; the place was packed. Mama Dukes and I found a table rather quickly and were immediately greeted by a smiling waitress. Loved her! She promptly brought us freshly squeezed o.j. (yes, I said FRESHLY squeezed orange juice; like a little glass of liquid sunshine) and coffee (the best diner coffee this side of the Mason-Dixon line). I ordered the three egg omelet with cheese, peppers, onions and turkey sausage, a side of grits and ... oh yes, a biscuit. Not just any biscuit but THE biscuit. Mama Dukes also ordered an omelet but opted to get the home fries (which I snitched at) in stead of grits. (I left her biscuit alone, I'm such a good daughter.)














OMG, as my brothers would say, it was amazingly delicious. The service was impeccable and I'm going back on Saturday! Come join me! Oh and yes, that's hot sauce on my omelet... don't knock it til you try it people.
