If you live in Raleigh, N.C., take a good look at the diner waitress asking if you'd like white or wheat toast with your breakfast.

She might be Kate Gosselin.

The reality-TV matriarch was spotted Tuesday morning without her 8 (and, of course, without her former mate) taking orders of pancakes and grits at Finch's Restaurant in the southern city.

But alas, Kate doesn't have a new full-time gig. She was shooting a "test segment" for her upcoming solo reality show with TLC.

"The show is in development and the shooting was part of that process," a network spokesman tells E! News.

Not surprisingly, the megamom was accompanied by bodyguard Steve Neild, who was quick to shoo away local news crews and directed employees at the greasy spoon to close the blinds, according to WRAL's report.

Remember that other show Kate was on with that dude?
