Feature: Jenny's


Jenny's Restaurant, Empire Colorado
Small Towns like Empire Colorado are packed full of local jewels. Today brought us to Jenny’s for breakfast.
The front door creaks as we arrive out of the wind and single digit temperatures into the warm country style diner. Immediately the smell of fresh brewed coffee, bacon, eggs and pancakes got me thinking about my breakfast and not the high wind advisory on the highways. The waitress is buzzing around with coffee in hand. She is friendly, fast talking and sits us immediately. There is antique crap all over the walls as well as many old photographs. This morning's light complements the warmth of the place.
Jenny's is the quintessential small town Colorado Breakfast diner. The people are friendly, the food is excellent, and the prices leave enough cash to park at the resorts (usually about 20 bucks). Yes, parking at the resorts costs more than breakfast.

2eggs, 2 sausage links, home fries, and 2 pieces of wheat toast,
Coffee
Strawberry jam on Toast.
$7.00 + tip.

…Food Comma ensued, lucky I was not driving.

Jenny’s is awesome, cheap and fast.
A perfect fuel up for a deep day on the mountain
