Northern New York. You're thinking of the other one with real home fries, that was about half-way between Jande's and WSI's places... Either in Milan, or the town just north of it. What was that one called? That had good food, even though it wasn't up to the standard of the Old Tymes Cafe and Restaurant, which boasts a real 60's soda fountain, salvaged from another cafe.

Lafayette was on the way home, off the I81. But that was definitely the ABSOLUTE BEST greasy spoon I have EVER BEEN IN!!!!! Totally old style, totally home-cooked. Real biscuits, several different kinds of REAL gravy!!! Oh, it was SOOOOOO good! Mmmmmmmmmmmm.....

They sold artistically hand-painted saws and goose eggs there, too. That place was real, small-town "country flavour" (sorry, "flavor") all the way through. What a beaut!

So, when are we going to visit Jande again, eh?
