Yesterday for date day the HH I headed to Becky’s Diner in Portland, Maine to get to the bottom of the why won’t they serve a fruit bowl after 2 pm mystery.
I’ve been curious about it ever since our first trip there last month. And well…. Now I have answers for everyone who’s been wondering the same thing.
Prepare to be amazed! Are you ready?
The fruit bowl at Becky’s Diner comes in two sizes. You can get a small fruit bowl for $11 or a large fruit bowl for $14. I decided that if we were going to get into the car and drive all the way over to Becky’s I was going to go all out.
So I ordered a large fruit bowl and really hoped I wasn’t going to be let down and be served a large can of cocktail fruit or something.
Well it turns out I didn’t need to worry at all. In fact I was in for a big surprise!!
Check out that fruit bowl!!!
Holy cannolis people! Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to get served this glorious bowl of goodness!
It’s like the whole produce section is in that bowl! Can you believe it!?
Now that’s a fruit salad!
Bananas, kiwis, grapes, strawberries, apples, oranges, watermelon, cantaloupe, blueberries… Did I miss anything?
They even took the time to cut the grapes in half! This is not your Grandma’s fruit salad, that’s for sure!
As it turns out, the reason why you can’t order the fruit bowl after 2 pm is because that’s when they make the change from “breakfast” to “dinner” prep in the kitchen.
Apparently the work space is super small back there and they have to use the area where they cut the fruit for dinner things.
And now we know. Mystery solved. 🙂
Carry On,
