Since we were staying in New Jersey on Monday, we’d decided the night before to go to Shut Up and Eat with Tricia’s Aunt Margie for breakfast. That morning, Tricia and I searched through all of her Aunt’s pajamas looking for a matching set. The waitresses at Shut Up and Eat wear pajamas, and the diner gives 13% off to customers who make the same effort. I actually called to find out if nightgowns satisfied the requirements (sweats or pajama pants with an old T-Shirt do not). Tricia ended up in a glamorous green nightgown with matching bathrobe, and I found red and pink pants and a red and pink top that may or may not have gone together. But it worked.
The crazy restaurant is filled with old books, toys, kitchen-ware, skeletons (there were more than one), funny signs, and pretty much everything else you could possibly display or hang from the ceiling. The menu has crazy prices where everything is misspelled along with hand-written inserts of daily specials. I ordered the Strawberry C.C.C.C.S.F.T. which I highly recommend. This is Strawberry Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip Stuffed French Toast. Amazing. Tricia ordered the Sloppy Mess, because it’s a plate of everything piled on top of each other, which is how she usually eats. J It included home fries with meats and cheeses with eggs and toast. It was less good than the French Toast, but still good. Aunt Margie gave the waffles with bananas and walnuts two thumbs up as well. And, if you’re trying to do breakfast on the cheap, bring them a dinner plate and a coffee mug. They will trade you a pancake and a cup of coffee. This is why none of their dishes, silverware, or salt and pepper shakers match.
