[...] I usually don’t include diners in this blog since my other blog, Diner Cakes, is solely devoted to the subject, but this diner is exceptional – and in Jersey. We had two of their specialty pancake wraps: Country Breakfast Wrap = Scrambled eggs, pork sausage, potatoes and american chz rolled into a large pancake and Downtown Pancake Wrap = Scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese and sour cream stuffed into an over-sized pancake. They were delicious, especially the Downtown whose creaminess perfectly balanced the doughy pancakes. Considering that the Brownstone’s motto is “need pancakes!”, we also tried the German with apple compote and the and the Honky Tonk with peanut butter chunks and bananas, which were of course very good. While we only had pancakes (and grits), you could just tell that the other items on the book-size menu were going to be interesting and delicious. This place is a great find, and if you don’t believe me, you can ask Guy Fieri, because he visited here on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. No pics, but check out the video clips. [...]

Blair, IF you do end up adding crab cakes someday, you’ll have to come back to Delaware!

Thanks Joyce! You always leave such nice comments. I definitely think a crab cakes episode is in our future, I know Blair would love it. The diner in New Hampshire sounds great. Thanks for the (not sneaky) tip. Scott

Hi Guys!! Wow! A road trip! I was amazed at the table overflowing with pancakes…..they all looked so good. It seems that you are stretching to other “cakes”….ice cream cake, cheese cake, now pancakes….are crab cakes in your future?
There is a diner that we need to take you to called Live Free or Diner in New Hampshire. The state motto is Live Free or Die…get it? Ha Ha….
You two looked like you were having fun…loved the tee shirt Blair!
Bye for now!
