This popular Fairmount neighborhood café's good eats are complete, now that chief cook and bottle washer Peter Schroder has added breakfast six mornings a week. His beer-batter biscuits are served hot out of the oven, flaky, fluffy, and butter-meltin' scrumptious. Slathered with jelly or drowned in peppery cream gravy stirred up from pan-drippings, they are a morning meal all by themselves. But if you're really cholesterol-crazy, add Virginia ham and eggs, hashbrowns made from scratch (that means, children, they aren't those frozen, stringy grated types), or grits. And then there's the pancakes. "Really filling" declared the 6-foot, 2-inch grandson with the size-13 feet, as he mopped up syrup with the last forkful. That's the equivalent of a four-star rating from this 17-year-old of few words who takes a lot of "filling."
