"What's the best place to eat in Samford?" I asked my Twitter friends.
There were several contenders, including the back deck on someone's home, but Ya Ya Bar & Eatery in Samford's Main Street, was a clear winner.
So that's where we headed early on a beautifully clear Sunday morning to meet with friends and then head on a motor cycle ride out into the hills.
Yes, I am revealing myself as a motor cycle rider. Our 'gang' has of weekend warriors been dubbed 'Sons of Arthritis' and takes to the road for short and longer trips around the countryside. There are a few rules - no leathers (so last century - we are all outfitted in high tech gear), no pony tails (except for the women) and no Harleys - however that could all change at a whim.
Some of our group are nearly locals and agree that Ya Ya Bar is a top place for breakfast and also doubles as a great bar at night.
It was good to see a breakfast menu that went beyond the ordinary with deviled duck livers but no one from our group was that brave.
Here's what we did order.
Breaky sarnie |
Grilled field mushrooms |
Bacon, creamed corn, poached eggs and sourdough |
Potato bravas |
Croque Madame |
Bottom line: Breakfast is priced between $15 and $18.
Best tip: Be braver than we were and try the deviled duck livers.
