You regular Jeff Eats’ readers should know by now- that Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats are huge fans of “mom & pop” diners. Trust me when I tell you that “America Runs On Mom & Pop Diners”- your favorite joint maybe called Joe’s Diner, or Lou’s Diner, or Tom Sawyer’s, or Ronnie’s Breakfast Lunch, or- Dixie Belles Cafe…but unless you’ve been living under a rock somewhere- mom & pop diners are joints where you get loads of reasonably priced no frills- no drama delicious food, bottomless cups of coffee, waiters/waitresses/and owners who work their tails-off taking care of business, where you go to relax- put co-workers, bosses and pain in the ass neighbors on hold, unwind and take a deep breath and in Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats’ case- discuss family business with our family!

Enough philosophizing…

Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats, Daughter Jeff Eats and Son Jeff Eats did a recent late breakfast/lunch at Dixie Belle’s Cafe and all four of us really enjoyed the joint. For the curious, the family business discussed included new car lease, health insurance policies, upcoming Labor Day trip to New York City and a Delray Beach apartment lease!

One last thought, that sweet potato muffin at the top of this tale- is off the chart shout out delicious!
