It will open at 7 and go to probably about noon. I don't know how
many will be cooking the eggs. I hope at least six. The hash browns
will be pre cooked and reheated in the oven. Then put in large pans
for serving after they get their eggs cooked to order. Choices will be
O/E, O/M, O/H or scrambled. The meat, bacon or sausage patties too
will be cooked and reheated. Just glad I will not be cooking eggs. I
have a hard time flipping eggs for an O/E style.

Will be a busy day.. I don't particiapte in clean up. I will have done
enough.......
