A breakfast favorite of Ed's - in the skillet before the flip
2019-02-01 - Adair County, KY - Photo archive photo by Ed Waggener
Ed Waggener was a good cook, an artful cook, and always wanted to have a restaurant like Lainey's, for those who remember the little restaurant that was once Coomer's and then her's. He said he'd serve only what he wanted to, keep it to just a few basics and only open a few hours a day, mostly around breakfast. On the occasion of this photo last winter, he carved out the centers of his favorite rye bread, put lots of butter in the Robert-Flowers-recommended iron grill, on the cook top we bought from Marsha Walker after one of her remodels, and then gently placed an egg in the well of each piece of bread. He patiently tended them, just as we'd seen Olivia Dukakis do in the movie Moonstruck, turning only after the eggs were fully cooked on one side and were ready for the flip - a very tedious part of the process. He had already cooked the bacon and it was ready to be put on top and served with wildly strong coffee. - LW Comments | Permalink
