Well...It's me, Alien. 

 

 

f:id:alientravel:20150315161409j:plain

Alien love pancakes. 

 

 

 

 

 

Spring has come.

Alien went to Springfield in Illinois since it is spring.   

 

 

Let's eat first.  

f:id:alientravel:20150316052805j:plain

The American sign welcomed Alien. 

 

 

A baracca-like building was standing in a parking lot. 

f:id:alientravel:20150316052804j:plain

Alien can't see its inside since it has no window. 

What would inside look like? 

 

 

 

 

Alien found a fansy restaurant inside. 

f:id:alientravel:20150105085435j:plain

It was a good traditional American diner. 

It was busy with elderly, probably steady, customers. 

 

 

 

 

Let's order. 

f:id:alientravel:20150316052807j:plain

They offer many American dishes. 

 

 

Well, this "horse shoe" is this restaurant's favorite. 

f:id:alientravel:20150316052808j:plain

Horse shoe is a local dish.  

Alien order a pony shoe, which is smaller than horse shoe since Alien have another dish to order. 

 

 

 

 

 

Let's wait for foods. 

f:id:alientravel:20150316052809j:plain

Excited. 

 

 

Alien take a seat on the other side. 

f:id:alientravel:20150316052811j:plain

Cool interior. 70's America maybe. 

 

 

 

Poney shoe! $7.29.  

f:id:alientravel:20150316052819j:plain

Alien heard horse shoe is a sandwich. 

Tater tots and creamy cheese sauce are on sausage between bread. It is like throwing sides onto the sandwich. 

You can choose ham, bacon, etc. for meat, and fries instead of taer tots. 

 

 

 

Let's eat. 

f:id:alientravel:20150316052820j:plain

A nice harmony of cheese sauce, sausage, and freshly-fried tater tots. 

Yum yum. Let's forget salt and oil contained. 

 

 

 

 

And another dish... Giant pancake! $5.29.  

f:id:alientravel:20150315153247j:plain

Huge. 

The pancake laid on a pizza tray. 16 inches. 

 

 

 

Alien will eat all of it, of course.

Let's eat.  

f:id:alientravel:20150316052821j:plain

It is a standard American pancake (thin and not sweet).

Yum yum with butter and maple.  

 

 

 

 

Oh Alien already ate a half of it since it was yummy. 

f:id:alientravel:20150316052823j:plain

Alien think Alien can eat it all for sure. 

 

 

Alien put free jam on the pancake since Alien get a bit tired of the same taste. Yum yum. 

 

 

 

1/4 left! 

f:id:alientravel:20150315161336j:plain

Well... Alien am full already... 

 

 

 

 

However! Alien do what Alien decided to do.

Don't stop the folk. Stand up, Alien.  

f:id:alientravel:20150316052826j:plain

...Phew. 

Alien ate 7/8 of it. Let' eat the 1/8 with fighting/eating sprit. 

Stop is defeat. Keep eating. 

 

 

 

 

Almost there. 

f:id:alientravel:20150316052835j:plain

...Grab the folk, Alien.  Eating sprit is with Alien. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Phew~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

f:id:alientravel:20150316052836j:plain

Alien am very full. 

 

 

 

The owner talked to Alien after Alien had finished the pancake. He might be impressed by Alien's eating spirit.  

 

 

 

The owner let Alien take a photo with him. 

f:id:alientravel:20150316052837j:plain

Same hair style. 

 

 

 

 

Alien was happy with the taste and amounts of the foods. 

It was fun to talk with the owner too. Nice place!
