| - Take a drive down Madison Avenue in Cudell, Ohio, and you eventually end up in the industrial district where you are surrounded mostly by abandoned buildings and rough roads and empty lots. Lost in all of this, in a small building that looks equally rough, is a small diner called A Tasty Affair. Though the owners need to invest in some signage out front to make locating the diner easier for potential drive-by customers, our GPS unit found it without issue.
The interior is a stark contrast to the exterior. Impeccably clean, bright, and simply but tastefully appointed, it is a homey and comfortable place to have a quick bite. My best friend had eggs with home fries and a sausage patty. The sausage patty was hand formed and as big a burger! The eggs were perfectly cooked, the home fries were crispy and seasoned well . My country boy skillet, with layers of scrambled egg, home fries, bacon, cheese, and sausage gravy was delicious and filling. The coffee is Red Cedar brand coffee, local brand from Berea, and was a perfect compliment to the savory notes of our breakfast. As a bonus, we also bought some homemade cranberry granola and some French waffles to take with us!
Down the street and around the corner by just a half mile, you can drive right into Lakewood, Ohio. My point is that this little place is not out in some inaccessible spot. Take the time to find it, go eat, support this young couple in their attempt to bring tasty, quality home cooking to an area that seems to desperately need it.
