Over medium. It tests the chef since there's about a 30sec window for them to come out properly once they are flipped.

 
Honesty, I like scrambled eggs the way I make them more then anywhere I'll buy them. I'll eat breakfast out once in a blue (although it is usually as brunch), but of all the meals, this is the easiest and the one I'll make at most home most frequently.

Also, Denny's is like a downgrade from a local diner, who eats there besides middle school skateboarder kids?

 
Why am I at Denny's?
Because IHOP was full and there is no nearby Waffle House. WTf is wrong with Denny's?
i have a dining rule. If I can make whatever I would order at your establishment better, cheaper, and at least somewhat easily then I am not eating there.
Interesting. My dining rule is that if I'm too hungover to cook or clean but desperately need grease and a way to push the embarrassing bar tab further down my check register then I'm eating there.

Plus the coffee mugs at IHOP are perfect. Perfuxkingfext

 
Over Medium especially with hash browns/grits to absorb the yolk.

If you order the scrambled egg, you have a good chance of getting the processed egg stuff.

always have bacon, pancakes, and some kind of cooked potato in the fridge. If I have to have eggs it takes like two minutes to cook them throw that sum##### between an everything bagel smothered in cheese.
 
what's the difference between scrambled wet and dry? I like em scrambled but I didn't know there were a bunch of different types of scrambled.

Do you order them to test the chef griddle cook or because you like them that way?

I have no favorite. I order em depending on mood. Sometimes scram, sometimes sunny, sometimes poached, sometimes soft boiled, sometimes over easy.

In NJ you can't spit without a diner so Denny's is out of the question.
Yeah but you have to live in New Jersey...
Where do you live?
Central Texas.
Do you have Jim's Restaurants, or is that strictly a San Antonio thing? I spent many a Sunday morning at the bar at Jim's.

 
How about this....I love a good omelette, but I don't think I've ever ordered an omelette I didn't create myself. Like I've never ordered a "western".

Usually I go swiss, onions, tomatoes, spinach and ham.

 
In high school I worked at a 24 hour restaurant. After a month I was a expert at the flip. Over medium was my go to for myself. When people ordered over easy and I would serve them all runny it made me gag.

We used so much butter that the flip was easy. You would never make them that way for yourself at home. The best thing about that job is that is I can still make great eggs any way.

man if I could find a good omelette place. Everyone I have ever had is way too much egg.
 
Denny's? No thanks.

The Elmer Diner in South Jersey would be where I would go growing up if I wanted some kind of breakfast.

Too much butter is the key to all eggs so sez those french chef that cook things so good.

What? Dude ...eggs get hard and bouncy when overcooked. Some heathens like them like that - but they almost always like good meat well done. So there's that.

Part of the trick is to not leave them in the pan until they are at your desired consistency. They continue to cook a bit, take them out a bit early and they will finish on their own. :2cents:

Runny or firm.
I believe you mean scrambled eggs or over-cooked scrambled eggs.
I think over-cooked scrambled eggs kinda smell like a dirty dog.
Absolutely. I've tried to explain this to so many people that just don't pick up that smell (smells more like "wet dog" to me, but same idea)

:lol: I had written wet dog first, but changed it to dirty, because I thought people might get the dirty dog smell concept better. Anyway, I agree it's wet dog smell.

Good posting. I always order it but rarely get it. And rarely pull it off at home
Use plenty of butter, tilt the pan and spoon the hot butter over the white close to the yolk. When you flip - go no more than 30 seconds. Have to judge based on how much of the white you have cooked by spooning it over with the hot butter.

You will have a lot of butter left in the pan - but you don't HAVE to eat it. :porked:
