The diner triple-decker reworked with a poached egg sitting on top - what an American sandwich shop would call a club with eggs, and what a French brunch menu would simply serve as the house club. Two slices of buttered, toasted bread layered with sliced grilled chicken, crisp smoked bacon, shredded iceberg dressed in mayo and a sharp pinch of onion, ripe tomato brightened with vinaigrette, and the soft poached eggs draped over the top so the yolks break into everything underneath. The pleasure is in the layering: a different texture in every bite, the bread crisp enough to hold structure but soft enough to give. You build it carefully, slice it on the diagonal, and pin the halves together with toast picks so the whole tower stays upright on the plate. Lunch counter at noon, light supper after a long afternoon, eaten with chips on the side and an extra napkin within reach.
Firm green tomatoes slice 8 mm thick. Salt 10 minutes to draw water. Dredge: seasoned flour → beaten egg + buttermilk → seasoned cornmeal + breadcrumbs (this triple-dredge gives the crispiest coat). Shallow-fry in oil at 180°C until deep gold. Drain; salt; serve with rémoulade.

Chicken meatballs represent the healthier, lighter side of Italian comfort food. These tender spheres, bound with Parmesan and fresh herbs, nestle into a long-simmered tomato sauce that builds depth through patient cooking. The combination is less heavy than beef but more refined, with a subtlety that lets fresh basil and oregano shine. This is family cooking at its best.
