John's Country Kitchen - Charlotte, NC

If you are looking for blue-plate breakfast or lunch in Charlotte, you can't beat John's Country Kitchen. We were taken there by Carolina cuisiniere Heidi Billotto, whose "Charlotte Weekly" story about the place described the portions as large and the prices as "unbelievably reasonable."

This trio of livermush tiles have a crisp surface and creamy-rich insides. A fine match for eggs, biscuits (on the side), and the grill's fine fried potatoes.

Our guide Heidi suggested having the biscuits grilled. It diminishes whatever delicacy they started out with, but adds a good measure of wicked, oily crunch.

Brains are supposed to be high in protein and so, when mixed with scrambled eggs, practically health food. It may be the smart choice, but to my taste, not the most delicious!

We arrived at John's before dawn, a which time any self-respecting diner is already perfumed by the smells of bacon sizzling and coffee brewing.

John's charm has everything to do with the sense of community people feel when they come here for breakfast and lunch.
