Maybe not gourmet food, but one of my favorite things for breakfast, and breakfast is my favorite meal of the day usually. I've had them all over the US for 30+ years, and much to my surprise the best IMO are not in the South as I expected. In fact, with rare exceptions it has been hard to get even decent ones in the Dixie states. Nice flaky buttermilk biscuits with sausage gravy..mmm. So, where do they do it best? Gasp! The Pacific Northwest! Oregon and Washington, with California slightly behind. Arizona, Nevada, and Colorado - not bad either.

So, for any and all B&G aficionados out there, Where are the best served?
Specific restaurants that excel would be great too.

Even though I rate CA at 3rd overall, the best I have ever had in my life can be found at Katrina's Cafe in Auburn, CA. (wish I still lived near there) Second best would be Le Peep in CO.
