"We ordered the fried calamari , veggie omelette w cheese and banana pancakes and with strawberries and whipped cream on top. My favorite was the omelette as it is was literally the best i prob had in Binghamton. The calamari was a bit too crunchy and too much for the small calamari they used. The pancakes were okay but they weren’t as soft and fluffy as u would want ur pancakes. They were a bit stretchy almost like a mochi, wouldn’t get again but the waitress was so so nice and offered to add whipped cream for us."

"Sad potatoes. That’s what I want you to take away from my experience. I had an omelette which was tasty, the bacon looked perfect. These poor excuse for home fries.. nope sad af. These are the kinds of foods people like us get made fun of for. Here’s a heap of roughly chopped potatoes, we didn’t bother to add any seasoning (have you not heard of paprika?! Garlic?) nope just salt. They still look raw, they’re supposed to be crisp golden brown, they’re just shy of mashed potato in color. Add onions, cooked until crisp golden brown.
Matter fact, here, I Googled it for you: Home fries are a dish of cubed or diced potatoes that are fried until crispy on the outside and tender in the middle. They can be served chunky or skinny, and are often cooked with onions and bell peppers. Here's an overview of the cooking process: Parboil Potatoes are parboiled to partially cook them through. This can be done by boiling, baking, steaming, or microwaving. Fry The potatoes are fried in butter and/or oil until golden brown and crispy.
Send that to your cook who operates without seasoning. This is what other cultures and races mean when they say white people don’t season their food. Stop doing this to us, some of us enjoy seasoning!"
