Chicago Diner. Unbelievable. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves:
Blue corn pancakes with "bacon":

Breakfast "Sausage" Pizza:

Biscuits with "Sausage" & Gravy:

Chocolate cookie dough and chocolate peanut butter shakes:

All of this was in preparation for the overnight bus to Minneapolis. Let's just say it was as horrible trip as you would expect from an overnight bus journey - stopping, lights on and loud announcements made seemingly every five minutes. We arrived at 7 am in the morning, so not much was happening. We couldn't check into our hotel until 11 am, so we walked around in a sleepy daze until 12 pm when we saw Burn After Reading. I thought Brad Pitt and George Clooney were very good, but I did find the story a little empty.
That night we checked out Pizza Luce in Lynlake. We had to wait for about 30 minutes to get a table as it was so busy, and while the pizzas were ok, Plush can still not be beaten. We stopped in at the Bryant Lake Bowl, a combination bowling alley, restaurant, bar and theatre. It was straight out of the 50's and super cool:

And that night, we slept on a cloud (otherwise known as the bed at the Aloft Hotel):
