Dot’s Diner
"This greasy spoon is a family staple for me. Growing up, my dad would take my sister and I there for breakfast every Sunday morning. I would always order Texas Toast with extra powdered sugar, and they would get Huevos Rancheros (extra well done). Give it a try. I'd recommend going earlier in the day, as the death metal starts blasting around 3pm when they are trying to get the brunch stragglers out." -Rodes Rollins
