Another entry in "eateries Corey and I are trying to hit before he moves," Chaffin's Diner on Broadway is one of my favorite breakfast places. It's one of the few diners I've visited that still has a Monte Cristo on their menu.
A Monte Cristo is a french toast sandwich that layers turkey, ham, and swiss between multiple pieces of bread. Some places prepare the sandwich first, then batter and fry it all together. Chaffin's prepares the french toast first, the method I prefer. The Monte Cristo is sprinkled with powdered sugar and usually served with some sort of jam. Chaffin's accompanies it with a strawberry dipping sauce. Yum yum yum.
Corey ordered the Greek Omelette, which was basically a gyro with eggs. It even came with Tzatziki sauce, which he poured generously over the entire thing. (Oh, and it was Towel Day today, so of course we had ours by our side.)
I can't forget to mention Chaffin's decor. It's very mid-century and it's held up quite well. Record sleeves line the walls in the front room and the back room has lots of modern art. It's effortlessly eclectic. Now if they would only stock their pie case...
