DOUG ON THE GO

Everyone always says breakfast is the most important part of the day so lately I have been trying to eat more breakfast.  My friend Pie called me yesterday to go to breakfast when I got off the air, so I of course I did... I wouldn't miss out on a meal!  I always enjoy going out to breakfast with Pie, he knows where all the little restaurants are off the beaten path.  This time we hit up Gina's, in the Riverside area of Jacksonville.

 

Walking into Gina's there isn't much there, a big menu lines the building and a walk up counter. My first impression was like a little sidewalk cafe or diner.  On the outside window they had a morning special in big letters. Eggs, Bacon, Grits and Toast for 3.99. Hell of a deal! So that's what I went with. 

With a drink and meal it was like six bucks total and worth it. There isn't any table service at Gina's, when your order is up they will call out the food and you pick it up. They also use all plastic ware for the plates and utensils which I would do if I owned a place.  It wasn't over the top excellent but I had no complaints.  

Gina's is only open til 4 pm so they much do decent volume so they don't have to stay open for dinner. 

 

After breakfast (10 AM), I went home and couldn't sleep to save my life (story of my life) so I started watch TV shows that I couldn't believe I found myself laying there watching... Keeping up with the Kardashian's, Girls Next Door and Martha Stewart. Oh and the reason I couldn't sleep, I had 5 glasses of sweet tea for breakfast. Smart one, Doug!

 

Do you have a favorite breakfast spot?
