February 27, 2008

When I was a kid, my father used to ask, “do you know the difference between a good haircut and a bad haircut?” and of course the answer was, “about three weeks.” Considering my father was also my barber, it wasn’t the type of joke that inspired confidence.

Restaurant Review: If you are ever in Deming, NM and was to have a fantastic breakfast, you don’t have to go any further into town than the diner at Grand Motor Inn. It is actually a hangout for the older crowd of Deming, where they can gossip and joke and laugh over a cup of coffee – it doesn’t hurt that that motel proprietor Ed Khanbabian is running for Municipal Judge and is constantly working the room gladhanding. That doesn’t take away from the delicious Spanish omelet (I choose green rather than red sauce) with hashbrowns and sourdough toast. While it comes out as an indistinguishable mass of eggs and vegetables and starch and melted cheese, the contrasting textures and flavors of the smothered omelet against the hashbrowns. The mother daughter waitress team is never without a coffee pot leaving the patrons never without fresh hot coffee.
