Like practically identical wherever you go. I think they all use the same supplier and cook everything exactly the same as each other. Got one delivered this morning and it was indistinguishable from any of the others. Same bacon, same eggs, same sausages. More genericised than the humble Chinese takeaway.
Thereās definitely greasy spoon places that do better or worse versions of the classic CB. The margin is relatively small, granted, but I just canāt agree with your take here.
In fact I donāt think Iāve EVER had a takeaway from anywhere that wasnāt. Always find it bizarre when people make a point in reviews about the food being hot, when is it ever not??
I used to live a few doors down from a greasy spoon, but could never make good use of it because it was only open until midday or something, and I never actually want to eat a cooked breakfast at breakfast time
In answer to the op - I went to a famous touristy greasy spoon in Pimlico in lovely London last time I was there
The fry up was very good. Beans bacon eggs and all Thad all spot on, but fairly standard taste-wise
Two things stood out - the sausage was amazing, but the best thing on the plate was the toast?! Iāve never had such perfect toast, it was incredible.
I think Iāve been there and I remember the breakfast being good. Also an old dude behind the counter got in an argument with a load of brickies who were trying to violate his āno claiming a table until youāve got your foodā policy.
