Cheap Eats 2006

With a definite nod to big portions, this classic breakfast diner wants to make you just as fat as Albert. Although it's not all that fancy, it does all the standards right. And, man, does it load them up: Biscuits & gravy ($4.50), French toast ($5), and the bottomless bowl of oatmeal ($4) are all hefty-sized. The fluffy three-egg omelettes ($6-$8.50) tip the scale, too. The Salad Eater omelette is laden with fresh spinach, tomatoes, red onion, mushrooms and real, flavorful Swiss. And the friendly staff won't let your coffee ($1.50) go dry, either. (JL)
