Three Little Pigs is certainly not comparable to Picadilly. How offensive to Three Little Pigs!
And if you are testing southern staples….shouldn’t you be eating the biscuits with gravy and the grits with either A) sugar and butter or B) salt and butter or C) cheese????
Come on! No one eats grits plain!!

Thanks for throwing 3 Little Pigs into the mix. I think if a place is filled with elderly men, that says something about the place. And sorry, but it ain’t no Picadilly.

I love the breakfast contest, but I can’t say I agree with one aspect of the scoring. If 3LP doesn’t have pancakes on the menu, it should get a 0 not a 5. No pancakes, no points.

Everything you’re judging is a breakfast staple (at least in this part of the country). If a restaurant doesn’t bother to offer something on your list, it should be penalized.

I love the Arcade, haven’t been there in years though. I always thought the service was a little spotty, but I guess that is typical of diner type places. The food was always fantastic.

I’ve eaten at The Arcade many times in both centuries and it is still in my top 3 places for breakfast in Memphis. Three Little Pigs is more “Picadilly” and I’ve found the food to be over-salted and eggs runny (which to me is gross).

A definite “thumbs-up” for The Arcade.

PS – When I was at The Arcade this past summer they had an “Elvis booth” – is it still there?

Side note to The Arcade.

I had the Country Ham, a fairly standard Southern breakfast item that normally consists of a cut off the butt part of a pig partially fried to give it some heat. It should be cured, and salty without fear of sending the consumer into immediate cardiac arrest.

What I got was, well, best described as a bit of overly thick bacon around a bone. It was painfully salty for my tastes and more of a brownish color than the pink I’m used to in a breakfast ham.
