Washing Up
We stayed in Burnsville because it was less expensive than Edina for the art show. And OH BOY!
Jensen's Cafe in Grand Market Square. It's open only for breakfast & lunch, 7AM - 2:30PM, but you can get breakfast *or* lunch any time during those hours. For some reason I really like Country Fried Steak (CFS) for breakfast so I was pleased to see it on the menu. I got it with scrambled eggs, which were cooked perfectly (moist, not dried out). The CFS was not breaded ground beef; it was the real deal; a large slice of sirloin or maybe round steak yet very tender. The sausage gravy was excellent. The whole wheat toast was thick sliced, toasted nice and crispy. I got the impression it had been freshly baked that morning. Homestyle potatoes. It was really too much food!
John ordered two eggs over-easy, and they really *were* over-easy! No food police in this place telling you they must be cooked longer or you'll die. He also had the aforementioned wheat toast. He didn't want the potatoes so he asked if they served grits. I started chuckling. The server had no clue what grits are so she suggested he substitute the Swedish pancake. Maybe you folks know this but we had no idea - a Swedish pancake is essentially a large, thin crepe. It was the size of a dinner plate, lightly sprinkled with confectioner's sugar and served with a big blob of butter and a ramekin of warmed ligonberry jam.
I recommend Jensen's if you ever find yourself in Burnsville, MN (which is a hop skip and a jump outside of Minneapolis and another hop over to St. Paul).
