24 Diner

It was our aunt's birthday yesterday so we were searching downtown for a great place to go.  We stopped at Woodrow's for the atmosphere but they only had a taco truck for food so we had a huge 23 ounce beer each and moved on.  We read a few other menus on west 6th and the bouncer at the Dogwood ended up pointing us in the right direction.  He suggested 24 Diner, insisting the veggie burgers and sausages were great and it was a hip and posh place.  We walked into a sort of modern, "hip & posh," tiny diner.  The server and hostess seemed very knowledgeable insisting that their food was so good even they crave it.  Miguel ordered the veggie burger, made of mostly beets and also various beans and seeds, with a side of fries.  He then added a fried egg white on top and a side of macaroni.  Shannon ordered the vegetarian platter, a breakfast dish with egg whites, homemade veggie sausage, toast, homefries and fruit.  The veggie burger was really good but likely only because of the strong flavor from the sundried tomatoes and goat cheese because the sausages were made out of the same thing and they tasted like grainy beets.  The rest of the vegetarian platter was really good, the eggs were the best, the home fries were alright.  The french fries were pretty good but fried until they got crunchy.  The macaroni was OK but it was a little off like it was either frozen or refrigerated at some point.  Overall it was pretty good and we may go back and try the waffle sandwich or vegetarian po' boy, our aunt said her burger was the best she ever had though so at least that worked out.
