Running and Laughing through the Golden State
Taste Cafe in Half Moon Bay borders on that is it a diner or not. There aren’t many diners in the Half Moon Bay area. It’s mostly open for breakfast and lunch and serves all of the typical diner staples. Recently, they started opening on Friday and Saturday for dinner too.
Located in the heart of downtown Napa, I decided to take a trip to Jax Diner. Unlike many diners, Jax Diner is located in high traffic, walkable area, next to a couple of other restaurants. It’s rare to find a diner on the main street so that is always fun.
The Jax Diner is also called the “Jax White Mule Diner.” It took me a few weeks to realize it is the same diner.
I haven’t been to a new diner in a month, so I was excited to get to Bette’s Oceanview Diner after running at Wildcat Canyon Regional Park. When I arrived at Bette’s Oceanview Diner, it was busy. Indoor seating is still not allowed, and every table was taken. Luckily I ordered takeout.
I didn’t think I would I would make it to a diner in Idaho. I couldn’t seem to find any along our route that was open when we stopped, after stopping for the night in Twin Falls, Id. We stumbled upon Choate’s Family Diner in Jerome, Id.
When in North Dakota, I knew I wanted to go to a diner. It seemed like the logical choice was Kroll’s Diner. Kroll’s Diner has four locations in Bismarck, Mandan, Minot and Fargo. Side note, I think Minot wins as the worst pace to be stationed in the Air Force.
We headed to Kroll’s Diner in Bismarck for brunch. We planned to get take out and I’m glad we did. Since masks are not required in North Dakota, not a single person in Kroll’s Diner was wearing one. I was the only one and I stuck out like a sore thumb!
