Nice menu. A bit pricey, but worth it IMO if they can consistently do it right.

I'm usually not a fan of chain restaurants, but I love the breakfast at Crack Barrels. Eggs, english muffin, homefries, bacon, sausage gravey...the works! Also another thing that's great about Cracker Barrel is their store. You can rent books on tape from one Cracker Barrel and return it to another. I did this when I drove cross country.

The South German Bakery/Café Konstanz in Beijing serves a variety of such breakfasts and they insist on packing up the leftovers for you to take along. It is a nice little corner of home in a far away place. If I am making my own breakfast my choice is a slice of 'grey' bread (rye bread) with unsalted butter (see butter thread) and a poached egg just runny enough to let the yolk soak slightly into the bread. |

Still no place like this in Shanghai or environs?
Another vote for Barney Greengrass from up thread - it was there that I realized that the 'black and white' that I heard about on Seinfeld is what we call an 'American' in German. |
Lunch.
I believe in waking when 10:30 rears it's ugly head over the horizon... :cool: |

Where did you have your best ever?
Mine was at of all places, in Wells, NV at the Peppermill Casino breakfast buffet. Happened to be there right when they brought a fresh batch from the kitchen. I think I ate 4 of them and some potatoes and skipped the rest. They were perfect. Second place goes to the Le Peep chain, but it's been several years now. Other than those it is extremely hit and miss, even at the same place, and the price point doesn't seem to matter at all. We make an excellent version at home about once a year, and it requires two of us and full attention for a good 15-20 minutes just for 2-4 people. Second best (or perhaps even THE best) are when I make them myself from scratch. Used to make them about twice/month when I was with my ex gf. However, we usually had them for a late night ‘snack’. And yes, making the hollandaise does require undivided attention. Probably took a good 30-40 mins each time to make them. |
I love cereals with fresh fruit. Or something sweet from the bakery. But eggs, sausages etc... only if I had enough sleep and after 10am :-)

Mrs Showbizguru always enjoys what she calls her " whore's breakfast " - a cup of coffee and a cigarette.

I remember them well. Except that I assumed that they were the intellectual's breakfast, or the graduate student's breakfast. Still the best breakfast, if only I could have cigarettes again. :D |
I rarely eat breakfast unless i'm on holiday, my favourite is eggs sunnyside up, bacon and pancakes, i rarely get it unless i'm in the US :( but only 68 days to go :D

At home, I eat one of four breakfasts (which is diversity for me...a year ago, I only rotated between two), but on the road, I'm a big believer in "When in Rome..." I'm happy to eat salad, seafood & rice for breakfast in Japan, dim sum in Hong Kong, broiled tomatoes, beans, limp bacon and toast in England, etc.
I completely spaced out when one of my Dutch friends came to visit recently...I stocked the kitchen with oatmeal, eggs, fruit, etc., and the first morning she asked if I had any whole-grain bread and cheese. Oops! |

London for me - Novotel
I don't know why, probably because I love London, and probably because I like Novotel Hotels when traveling in Europe. I enjoy the breakfast buffet at Novotel. So:
#1) I enjoy the breakfast buffet at Novotel. It's just perfect. #2) Fairmont Hotels breakfast buffet. I think both are listed as "Continental" but they are a FAR cry from, say, the continental buffet at Comfort or similar hotels in the U.S. |
'Continental Breakfasts' seem to vary from place to place, in France that'd be crossiant and baguette with jam and butter, in Germany you could hope to add eggs, ham, salami sausages, fruit and yoghurt and in Poland you could find several varieties of cake :-) 'Continental Breakfast' seems to have an entirely different meaning in the US..
|
I'd add: Gotta love countries where adults eat chocolate for breakfast! The first time I sat down to breakfast at my ex's house in France: Cereal with shavings of dark-chocolate. On a recent trip to Holland, the hotel's breakfast buffet included chocolate sprinkles and dark-chocolate curls to put on your toast. (Though I'd take a savory Dutch pancake over chocolate for breakfast any day!)

Luna Park in West Seattle, WA...BEST BREAKFAST!! The place is super funky inside and the waitstaff is covered in tattoos but the food is excellent and very generous portions. The giant mimosas were delicious as well!
|
i thought the whores breakfast included a centrum as well, for all your daily needs...
|
Corned beef Hash and eggs for me
Best i've ever had was at a little diner in Santa Rosa CA. called Carlos Country Kitchen. |
YYC.. Belmont Diner .. Crab Cakes Benedict.. mmmm
|
For me, fresh fruit in season, a croissant and a good coffee,
|
1) Fish Congee with Preserved Eggs, dried beef and chopped Chinese Doughnuts (Yau Tiu)
2) Omelette with spinach, sausage and a little bit of cheese 3) Nasi Goreng (Indonesian style fried rice) with sunny side up egg. |
When I lived in London there was this little Spanish place literally right next door. They used to do an "Adalucian breakfast" which was really just a full English with a chorizo added, but that chorizo was just oily fatty goodness. You knew you had eaten well because everything had a nice orange tinge to it. Walk in with a hangover walkout cured.
Otherwise good sourdough thick cut, with liberal amounts of butter, and, wait for it, vegemite! That's a proper breakfast. |

Perhaps tilted by the homemade marmalade, but the "Irish" breakfast at the Carrig House Hotel, on Lake Caragh, just west of Killorglin, Cnty Kerry, Ireland, stands as the best breakfast in memory. Bacon, sausage, black and white puddings, gently cooked eggs, broiled tomatoes, house-baked Irish brown soda bread and a crusty 'white bread" which toasted to a turn, plus a buffet over-laden with sides, very traditional and fat/calorie laden, and needing two pots of tea to get through anda nap afterwards, that was a breakfast!

http://dinersdrive-insanddives.blogs...?q=schellville Like many have stated, I too also don't eat breakfast all that much but when I do I tend to lean towards Eggs Benedict. |
Imagine if MacDonalds' served breakfast 24/7..
that would really rock Denny's world.:) |
