Breakfast at Rennebohms

Image

A waitress serves ham and eggs to Steven O. Kimbrough at an unidentified Rennebohm Drug Store restaurant. Chuck Patch, Kimbrough's breakfast companion, has gotten up to take the photograph, leaving his camera bag on the seat. Patch and Kimbrough were in the midst of a personal project to eat breakfast and photograph all of the Rennebohm restaurants. An unusual feature at this restaurant were booths with pass-through access from the waitresses' work area.
