Made in America

COSTA MESA -- In Orange County CA on a business trip for several days, and this morning partook of something quintessentially AMERICAN---the $10.95 all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet. There is nothing better, IMHO, to start a long and when-will-I-have-time-to-eat day than with a huge breakfast spread: coffee, juice, pastry, scrambled eggs, fried potatoes, pancakes, and yes, a couple (O.K., THREE) strips of bacon. I'm good now till 3 or 4:00 p.m. easy. Really, you load up on the morning buffet and you don't NEED lunch. It's a great deal, a nice splurge, and yes, I'll walk off all the calories and such throughout the rest of the day. Life in Costa Mesa, at the Orange County Hilton, is very good today.
