CLAYTON – “Fox and Friends,” the Fox News Channel morning show, met with lots of their Johnston County “friends” on Tuesday morning when the news channel’s morning super-star, Lawrence Jones, stopped in to the Eggs Up Grill in Clayton.
According to Grill workers, “a crowd was waiting to get in at 4:00am!” Starting at 6:00am, the New York based FOX commentator interacted with the mostly conservative crowd of at least 150 breakfast guests who had packed the popular eatery.
The smiling faced TV star even stepped into the kitchen to cook eggs and pancakes and to help serve tables as he alternately spoke with guests in the restaurant and with the Fox and Friends hosts based in New York City.
Jones, who claims to be a Libertarian, said that he found the energetic North Carolina crowd to be greatly concerned about present Washington DC leadership but enthusiastic about upcoming elections and desired changes in direction for the nation.
The restaurant was filled with Trump shirts and hats worn by Fox and Friends fans who the well known TV host referred to as “family” as he walked among and talked with the Johnston County residents.
Fox News contacted the local restaurant to schedule the visit several weeks ago. A senior staff member and part owner of the Texas based chain restaurant, flew to North Carolina to join the local staff greeting the many guests, taking orders and even cleaning tables.
Eggs Up Grill is a chain of independently owned and operated franchised restaurants.
