The Farmers Market down here used to be the best breakfast in Town. By far. Not even close. Country Cooking. Southern Country Cooking. Grits, Ham Hocks, Pancakes, Country Ham, Grade AA eggs (oh yes, they are) Biscuits and Gravy, (the best in the known Universe) smoked sausage and -- Lots of all of it. Made from scratch. Every last bit
But the whole thing was Farmers. Actual, you know, REAL Farmers. The Wife and I would tool in there and sit down, it was loud, noisy, the smell of fried food was everywhere, the customers were a mix of working people including a lot of Black People. Jeans was dressed up.
But the food was great. They didn't serve one thing that came in a can. Nothing. None of it. And the morning drink was always Sweet Tea.
It's all gone now. New roads, new construction drove everything out and there's nowhere worth re-doing it. There's some new places but I fear they would be like what the OP is talking about.
