Best Breakfast

I just read on Eater that the current issue (July/August 2010)  of Food Network Magazine listed the best breakfast in every state. This is not a magazine I subscribe too and I have not read the article so I am unsure how they determined where the best restaurant breakfast is. To pick one winner in each state would be a difficult and delicious task.

For my Nebraska readers the Belgian waffles at Petrow’s Restaurant in Omaha was the winner. I have never eaten there before so I can’t comment on the quality of the waffles. BUT if you do want my opinion on one of the best breakfast meals I’ve eaten in Omaha it would be the red beans and rice omelet from Dixie Quicks. Dixie Quicks is a small comfort food style restaurant. Their menu is on a giant chalkboard and items get erased when they run out. If you want to try Dixie Quicks reservations are recommended during the week and are required for Sunday brunch.

OK breakfast eaters, do you agree with the results that Food Network Magazine came up with? If you were in charge of writing that article what restaurants/breakfasts would you include? Where is your favorite breakfast served in your city or state? Please share in the comments.

Comments

  1. Breakfast is not my specailty!! My family thought the souffle omolets at Original Pancake House in Minneapolis were great along with the pancakes(gluten free ones too!).

    I prefer homemade granola or fresh juice!!

  2. The biscuits and gravy at the 11-Worth Cafe are the best breakfast dish in Omaha. I love everything on their breakfast menu.
