Hi, I'm ann, inviting you to follow along on our tour as we eat explore and enjoy inglewood. It's been a local favorite on south broadway in downtown for more than 30 years. Let's grab a quick bite to eat at the breakfast queen.

B

Breakfast queen has been around for many years. It's a local um like mom and pop diner, great food, great prices. The service is great good food, excellent service, very old school. You know we don't put sprigs of parsley and stuff like that on our plates.

A

Every time I come here whatever I pick, it's.

B

Good, my father has a clothing store, a couple doors away. We grew up in the town here, we've been here, for you know, 30 40 years he had a store over there and when the place came up for sale over there, we just you know, decided to chomp at the bit and said you know: let's do something for ourselves: does it have that like chain feel when you go to other places? Ingo has been very good to us. The customers are most local people that I've ever met.

B

So it's got that homey vibe, you know it's a homey feel, first and foremost the service. You get the love factor in there. We want the waitresses to sit and visit with the customers. We want them to learn their names. What brought them here make sure they come again.

A

Okay, so tell us a little bit more about the food. We know it's big. We know it's delicious.

B

Most the customers here they don't come here for health food cake, we're going through 300 pounds of potatoes a day three cases of 30 dozen eggs a day, and it's just massive amounts of food that gets schlepped out of this place. I wasn't expecting this much food. You got to try something with green chili on it. Our green chile is homemade family recipe, not.

A

Always, but something definitely with green chili. Why do you like doing what you do? I'm.

B

Greek heritage right, the greek people, you always want to help other people, you always want to feed other people. You want them to smile. You want to take care of them. We know 90 of our customers here on a first name basis. We see the same people for breakfast and for lunch. You know it's like a family. It's a family lifestyle.
