Glad we recently stopped into Winnie & Ethel’s Downtown Diner, about a mile east of the Arts District on Charleston. Thanks to expanded hours (until 10:00pm Wednesday-Saturday) at this new quaint-meets-modern eatery, you can now order breakfast (and, well, lunch, too) for dinner in addition to the rest of their menu.

I had their egg salad sandwich with red-hot pickled eggs, tomato, chopped bacon, and red onion. It gets in there and does the job quick, served with cooked-just-right shoestring fries. Their sweet brown sugar ham with hashbrowns also keeps the breakfast-is-the-new-dinner vibe going strong. Wash it all down with the 25-cent bottomless coffee (with entrees $8.00 or over).

Winnie & Ethels is “modeled after the iconic, round-the-clock American eatery of the 1940s,” say married owners, Chef Aaron Lee and CEO Mallory Gott. They named it for Lee’s “grandma Winnie and her great-grandma Ethel, whose warm, loving kitchens were always open.”
