Southern Breakfast (almost) out West

Breakfast at Mel's Drive-In in San Francisco. For those that don't recognize it, it is Southern Biscuits and Gravy. Some southerners would wonder what that green stuff is that is on top. That is parsley for those who can't identify it. No self-respecting southerner would ever put anything green on biscuits and gravy but it brought a nice flavor and eye appeal to the fairly drab colored meal.

The biscuits were tender and flaky and the gravy was of perfect flavor and consistency. My only complaint was with the sausage pieces which were a little uniform and not the rustic style of mine which I tear off the tubed breakfast sausage.

In all the breakfast was great, especially as I added crispy hash browns and good coffee. The price was fine at just over $12 for the entire meal. As an aside, I went back for cherry pie at lunchtime. It was good, too, warmed up and flavorful but not eye-worthy of taking a photo.
