I was getting hungry reading the other thread on this board and got thinking about one of the best meals ever --- a slinger. Biscuts, tatertots, scrambled eggs, gravy, melted cheese, and chili Try one of these next time you're hungry at 3am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good

Red you're close. the offical slinger as served at the Eat Rite Dinner & Hodges Chilli Parlor (Hodges is where it came from)is hash browns, covered by a hamburger pattie, covered with two eggs sunnyside up topped by chopped onions & cheese and finaly a nice serving of chili poured over it all.

guys it's a 3:00am beer food like red stated. there's another version sold by Erv's (don't know if it is still open) down on Vandaventer or theres about and they call it a Nightmare. personaly i think Nightmare is a more true to life name. Red. you'll love this one it sums it all up. we went to the eatrite on fathersday one year because us dads got to pick the breakfast place. anyway i ordered a slinger and the waitress asked me how i wanted my eggs? i looked at her and said" you've never asked me that before". she laughs and said " you've never ordered one sober before, when you come in at 2:00 am and drunk you get what i give you because i don't want to have to try to understand what you're saying". the wives all just laughed.

I've had my slinger before at 3am and it would take me a whole 30 seconds to eat it (you know how that is). Then I go in sober and get a slinger to go and I couldn't eat but a few bites it b/c it was so disgusting. lol

Jim, LOL!!! I had one this weekend at the little cafe we ate at! I ordered the Beef in the straw but had Deb put chili all over it! AWESOME!!! My mother in law thought it looked gross but my father in law said he was gonna do that next time. Love the egg story LOL!! Thanks for the chili on top tip! I told Deb that was how I wanted it every time. As it is now She just starts brewing coffee and cookin my order when I walk in wearin my bird huntin clothes. Gotta love a place like that!!! Hope you guys think about coming up again this fall, Maybe a little earlier this year though so we don't get our butts kicked by the weather!

Jim, I had my first experience at the Eat Rite Diner last night. It was my cousin's birthday and we rented a party bus. Now if you don't know what a party bus is, it's a greyhound on ectasy Now the bus was suppost to show up at 1030pm at the knights of columbas hall. Well we all were waiting and I was getting pretty thirsty so a few of us went into the hall were there was some kind of reunion, aniversary, something going on but there was tons of people there and I figured there would be free drinks. and there was for about 20 minutes until everyone figured out they didn't know us... So we ran outside... And a few minutes later we saw the sherrif pull up...and I swear to God not 100 yards behind him was the party bus being drove by a 80 year old black guy named lenoard who was wearing a old yellow stained shirt with a tie about 1/2 way up his chest ;D ;D ;D So anyway, we went over to PT's and I got thrown out because the stripper got mad b/c I didn't tip her for a couch dance - because I was just minding my business sitting down when she came and danced all over me. That's nice, but I didn't ask for it So there was like 5 of us that went back on the bus since we got thrown out of the nudie bar. We told lenoard just to drive. Well we stopped at this stoplight and this homeless guy banged on the window and asked for change. Well some idiot told him to come on in and have a few beers. Yeah, we let a homeless guy aboard in Downtown St. Louis and I was NOT HAPPY about it But on to the food story We told the driver to get us food and he took us to a diner. Little did I know it was the eat rite (or don't eat at all) diner. But it's 3am and there was like 5 black guys in there just staring at us. And the workers...one was an old lady and the other was the hunchback of Notre Dame. Well we sat down for like 15 minutes and still didn't get served...and I was NOT HAPPY about it I grabbed Quasimodo by his apron and yelled "I want some ******* chili" And then it was time for us to go...quickly... So we wanted some more free passes to some of St. Louis's bars, so the driver said he'll call his boss and get some. Well we pulled into this empty parking lot and stopped. And all of a sudden a St. Louis city cop pulled up and walked right into the party bus. Well my younger cousin was 19 and on coke, and was going to completly out of his mind The cop yelled "Shutup, I'm the owner of this bus and you are my clients and I my only concern when you're on this bus is to have a good time." So I needed some fresh air from our little scare so I stepped out of the bus onto the rainy, dark completly empty lot and the cop yelled "get back on the bus or I'll arrest you for drinking in public" So I got back on the bus... Well I almost got thrown in jail 4 times in two states on the same night and made it home in one piece at 6am and took a 3 hour power nap. Well the point is - I went to the eat rite diner

red, there are several eat rites in st. louis. go to the one in south county on south lindberg next time. you will feel right at home at that one. good folks run it and know how to cater to the drinking idiots as long as you are somewhat polite. the late night drunks are their bread and butter. my wife's cousin is a city cop (her uncle too but has retired since last spring) and they will usualy give you the benifit of doubt as long as you don't smart ass them. also one of the captains happens to be a southeast mo state graduate. aand one fine irishman at that.

They had something similar in Hawaii when I was there in the NAvy called a Loco-Moco. Rice, burger patty, fried egg covered in Gravy.
Heart attack in a bowl. Very tasty though.
