Denny's Dilemma

One of my favorite pleasures in the states is an occasional breakfast out with the boys.  Of course this was also an excuse for biscuits and gravy and other fattening fare that doesn't make it too often to the breakfast table at home.  Still, it was always fun to solve the world's problems with another couple of guys as we consumed plates of sausages, hash browns, scrambled eggs and, of course, a fresh glass of orange juice.  It occurred to me that I should try and spark a similar breakfast meeting here in Pohang.  All I needed was a good American style breakfast place serving ham and eggs and all the other favorites.  I soon learned about what the local expats refer to as the Denny's Dilemma.  Korea has not yet discovered the joys of the calorie and cholesterol laden Southern style breakfast offerings like biscuits and sausage gravy with a side of bacon and scrambled eggs.  The closest offering (and this will show how desperate the need is) is the breakfast menu at McDonalds.  You seldom read anything critical of Korea in this Chinn family blog - it is a wonderful place.  However, it is not paradise, and any hopes of attaining  that status will require a solution to the Denny's Dilemma.
