Last weekend we decided to take advantage of the good weather and head out west of Madison for a nice drive in the country. Once you get west of Highway 78 there's all sorts of beautiful back roads with great scenery and fun turns, although with my wife riding shotgun I can't get too crazy.
Anyway, we hit up Schubert's for lunch and ended up having breakfast at 1:30 pm, because breakfast all day is never a bad idea. We had the Mexicana Haystack and Hash Brown turnover, both of which were basically big huge piles of hash browns with assorted toppings and eggs on them.
A couple minor quibbles: I like my hash browns nice and crispy and browned and these were a bit under-done for my liking. My wife asked for poached eggs and they brought out two poached eggs in a little side bowl that she then had to put on top of her dish. The yolks were more like medium done than fully runny, probably had been poached ahead of time. Those things aside, it was a big ol' hearty diner breakfast for 9 bucks each. Not bad.
Best part was I saw this guy walk by with a GIGANTIC piece of some kind of cake with chocolate that had been drizzled over the top, so I went up to the bakery case to check it out. I asked for a piece of chocolate strawberry shortcake. The "piece" was the size of an entire small cake, and fantastic.
So fire up your sports car, pick out some back roads on google maps, and grab some cake. Just try not to have it fly around the car when you take a turn too fast.
