Green Eggs and Ham

I did not make Green Eggs and Ham. Not in my kitchen, not in my house. Not outside, or sitting with a mouse. No, I did not make the Green Eggs and Ham - but I did  eat them up, yum. Even though I didn't make it, I wanted to share my favorite breakfast spot, The Fly Trap Diner in friendly, fashionable Ferndale, Michigan. It's a funky little place, that probably seats less than 40 people, including the counter, but the food is all fresh and prepared in an ecclectic style. I first went there two years ago with my friend Melissa and her daughter Jenna and it was love at first bite. The green eggs and ham are really an egg scramble with pesto and cheese, three pieces of grilled ham (hmmmm ham, almost as good as bacon) and some fried herbed potatoes. It also comes with a side of toast and their sourdough bread is to die for. And good coffee, how could I forget that?  They also have a dish called the Cowboy Curtis, a little salute that any Pee-Wee Herman fan will get. Ah, now you know why I like the place. It exudes kitsch right down to it's retro salt and pepper shakers (mostly vintage and mis-matched) and the music is always good, usually late 70s early 80s underground, punk, ska type stuff. Now you are saying to yourself, that sounds like your house Joan. And yes, I will say in response, I feel very much at home there.

There is no recipe, why are you even looking down here?!
Note: if you go on the weekend, be prepared to wait in line ( and do wait, it is worth it). They were featured on Food Network's Diners, Drive-ins and Dives a few years back.
