Yes pancakes are served with your choice of eggs... over easy or how you like them, with choice of bacon, sausage links, ham steak on the side (not piled up on top of each other, disgusting!), there's always choice of hot buttered toast served separately on a warm plate. Waitresses always ask what you want to drink such as milk, coffee (there's always a fresh glass of ice water that's free), tea or milkshake, depends on what each customer wants. Condiments are free and always at every table or booth such as Tabasco Sauce, Ketchup, different kinds of jellys such as Apple, Grape, Berry. If you order pancakes and strips of bacon or sausage links, your food plate will have your pancakes with packages of softened butter, the meat beside the pancakes not on top of them. Sorry but the pancake piled up with everything on top= one big pile was not a representation of how an American Diner serves Breakfast Meals.

Different restaurants present their specials differently from others. The Stack is one way. The other way is to have the pancakes one atop the other. Egg on top. Hashbrowns, onions as a side and sausage and bacon as sides. Real butter always for the pancakes, also called flapjacks. And also as a topping on the hashbrowns, sausage gravy. What they serve as a stack is messy and hard to eat. Ordering all components separately will give you choices and with each choice, a larger portion at times, but most always the pancakes will nearly fill a plate.

Sausage on the side, and I've only seen saugage with cheese when on a sandwich on toast or an English muffin, which is pretty similar to a crumpet sliced through and toasted. Carmelized onions? They take too long, this is America, time is money (insert eye-roll here). Maybe some chopped up onions in the cubed potato hash browns. They might get scorched a bit, but not carmelized.

An American Diner made by a Brit who has never been to one. First, breakfast is served 24 hours and that stuff ?????what????? A typical American breakfast combo plate would be a stack of buttermilk pancakes, choice of sausage (links or patty), bacon, or ham, 2 eggs (any style), choice of hash browns (shredded potatoes fried on a flat top) or fruit, and toast (usually a choice of white, wheat, or sourdough). If there is a steak option there would always be steak & eggs (2, any style). There would usually be a section of egg dishes (omelets, huevos rancheros, Benedict, etc.), pancakes (buttermilk, silver dollar, various fruit, chocolate), waffles. Breakfast would usually be one whole side of the menu. The second side would have entrees (maybe lunch specials), salads, soups, appetizers, sides, and deserts. Often it is a fold open menu with breakfast on the front, a vast choice of non-breakfast on the two center pages, and the back would have sides, drinks, and deserts. Oh and meatloaf & gravy would always be an option. Really, check out the Denny's menu for a large chain diner. www.dennys.com/menu

Haaaaa! Karina, I love your comment. It did taste really good but I accept it was some sort of American food car crash!

I would not necessarily call that “American”, but more American inspired. Personally, I would not have caramelized the onions, but rather diced them along with tomatoes and red and green peppers. The hash browns would have been loose, not formed. It is a commendable effort nonetheless. It's important to know that most “American” foods are just remakes of ethnic foods brought over by immigrants. During the initial period of the influx of individuals, they discovered that a significant number of their traditional ingredients were unavailable, prompting them to substitute them with local ingredients. Eventually, these substitutions evolved into the contemporary creations, akin to the individuals themselves. The TRUE American cuisine comes from the indigenous peoples, and their food reflected the region they settled.

Amazing. Love hearing the evolution of these dishes. 👍🏻

Did you say "steak and truffles"? No American would eat truffles unless he's pretending to be French. And NEVER with steak.

@@captainmeck2752 There are many descriptions and recipes on KZread. It was a staple for the American Military in WWII. They called it Sh-- on a shingle (SOS) It uses the white sauce gravy similar to Sausage gravy, and dried beef flakes.

yeah, idk what that was i saw, but it wasnt american diner food. i grew up in a diner. Salt beef hash??wth and you will never find truffle of any kind in an american diner. EVER, nor eggs benedict of any kind, and we dont call a chicken sandwich a chicken burger, if its a solid piece of boneless chicken its a chicken sandwich, now, if it is a patty made from ground/minced chicken and cooked like a normal beef burger, then its called a chicken burger. that is the difference for future reference.

Diner fail!

That was an american "speakeasy." Alcohol and drinking was illegal at one time in US history. So it was not unusual for an illegal bar to be hidden in the basement of a respectable restaurant. People in the know would give a password an be escorted to the bar. The restaurant staff was not only the door security, but also the lookouts an alarm system. In the event of a raid, a button is pushed. While the upstairs staff is running interference, the downstairs staff has time to send all the illegal booze down a hidden shoot to the sewer. If the raid does find the hidden door to the bar, they walk in to a room of people playing poker or some other slap on the wrist crime, not the federal crime that was actually taking place. Most of the locals knew an looked the other way. This was all to protect from federal cops raiding the place.

Amazing Rebel Cowboy. Thank you for that bit of history!

The food itself - hash browns, eggs, pancakes, maple syrup - is very American, of course. But a diner in America does not spend time worrying about the presentation of a plate. That really is the anti-thesis of what an American diner is. A diner is generally a roadside restaurant that does good, down-home cooking, with no pretention. Pancakes will be slopped on a plate beside a few pieces of sausage, a couple of eggs, and syrup will often already be on the table. Diners are very simple, unpretentious places that just serve good food at a good price by hometown cooks and waitresses. There generally will not be any consideration to the presentation of the plate. For that reason alone, I really would not call this a diner at all (other than the food looks delicious).

I'm still searching. Might just have to go to the States!

If you haven't yet, try making: "Biscuits and Gravy!" Proper American style "Buttermilk biscuits" (not "cookies"! more like scones, just without eggs and sugar, so a bit lighter and fluffier and more buttery / savory, maybe?). kzread.info/dash/bejne/aYtm2pOBo9HKlZM.html Sausage gravy. ("white" gravy, not "brown" gravy [which, contrary to popular opinion we **do** **also** eat!], a thick cream-based gravy thickened with flour, etc. We love it with mashed potatoes, roast turkey, chicken-fried steak, etc. Though in this case with ground sausage added.) kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z5WrucV-ddLMhrQ.html Anyway, the lovely sausage gravy goes on thickly over sliced biscuits (inside squishy bits up on the plate, sausage gravy pretty much drowning it; served hot/warm). Lovely breakfast, o could honestly be a lunch or dinner too... Very hearty and satisfying!

Also, if you're gonna' hit a diner, gotta' get a diner staple: Chicken-fried steak. Also called Country-Fried Steak. Not actually chicken, just breaded and deep fried *like* fried chicken, hence "chicken-fried." But actually an inexpensive tenderized beef steak breaded and deep fried, then typically topped with white gravy, and served with mashed potatoes, vegetables, dinner roll, etc. Alternately there's a breakfast version which is much the same but with hash browns, eggs any style, sausage links, and possibly pancakes or french toast as well. Probably an orange juice or coffee, too...

Ooh, thought of another Americanism for you... S'mores! A camping tradition. Properly made over a campfire. Get some large marshmallows, stick one on a sharp stick (or get some metal pokey skewers, if you must). Hold marshmallow over fire or down near the coals (not too close, not too far)... **ohh shit, it caught fire! blow it out.** let it cool down, then enjoy that one on its own [a bit caramelized / "Cajun-style"], it was just a test. **try agai-- sh!t... that burnt fast too. This gonna' be tricky** Okay, close enough to get warm / hot and get nice and gooey / melty and a little golden brown [How did it still catch fire?? quick blow it out! It's still good!] Ehh, good enough... Now put a square of dark chocolate on a square of Graham Cracker **checks notes: no 'Graham Crackers' in the UK?? not a thing over there?** Okay, put a square of dark chocolate on a "digestive biscuit" (which I hear are similar to graham crackers, sort of? maybe? If not, I dunno, check the internet for the closest thing to graham crackers, or order some from stateside? OR get a box from one of those overpriced "American Stores" or whatever that import candy and stuff and resell it at hyper-inflated prices...) Put the melted marshmallow on top of the chocolate, and another graham cracker (sorry, "digestive biscuit") on top, and pull the skewer out. If the marshmallow was hot & gooey enough, and the dark chocolate was high enough % cacao & cocoa butter, it should melt pretty quickly from the heat of the gooey molten marshmallow. You have successfully achieved "S'mores"-ness... **eat smore** Yes, it's supposed to go everywhere and be one of the messiest and most delicious camping treats on the planet. ;) THE END. Thank you for coming on this journey with me. :P ;)
