“ Mmm escaped my mouth as a hot and heavy breakfast was set before me. Land of Lakes butter instantly became one with grits and toast. I began to visualize grandpa butchering a winter hog while savoring the smoked bacon . The atmosphere was a little dark as ceiling fans spinned like windmills. The waitress was attentive and brought food in a timely matter. Breakfast is best meal of the day. ”
