Guava and cream cheese in French toast?? And a cornflake crust??? Oh my--no wonder they beat Flay. I'm down for a French toast crawl.

I love the California burger at the Palo Alto Creamery, and have never had room for dessert, unless sharing or taking out. Oink

A French Toast crawl could easily be done in <<<Hoboken>>> NJ!

La Isla has a few sinful additions...including a version that won the stuffed French Toast Battle on Throwdown...with Bobby Flay.

Gracious!

It looks like the Woolworth's of Palo Alto!

I'll have the corned beef hash (hold the eggs) & a Belgian waffle.

If we get non-Breakfasty I'll have the "Bubbly" Fountain Burger...with Parmesan truffle fries....& key lime pie.

CC - I'll have the Cinnamon-Amaretto French Toast at Elysian, please!

Here's another local place I like a lot: Palo Alto Creamery and Fountain in Palo Alto, CA. It's good for breakfast, and it has baked goods, ice cream, and good burgers (okay--not so breakfasty). You can also buy whole loaves of bread they make, and they're huge. I like to get their brioche to make my own French toast. This is not an imitation diner--it's been there for decades, although the menu has undoubtedly been updated.

I'll take Brunch vs. Breakfast and leave Dinner on the table most of the time.

We are blessed to have some of the best Brunch options in the area (including NYC) in Elysian Cafe & Amanda's in beautiful <<<Hoboken>>> NJ (of course).

I frequent a breakfast/lunch only place here in Mission Viejo. They are called Paul's Pantry. They make an excellent CFS. The highlight, though, is the cinnamon roll you get with breakfast. Sometimes you have to wait a bit because they run out on busy breakfast days, but they are huge and completely made in the restaurant. Awesome!

On the San Francisco peninsula, I love Stacks! http://stacksbreakfast.com/

Famous for their "Blue Germ" pancakes, they have many other great choices. Here are a few:

Italian frittata:

Banana-Pecan Waffle:

Granola pancakes:

Chorizo, salsa, green chili, egg, and potato skillet:

Banana, coconut and macadamia nut pancakes:

Crispy bacon waffle:

Everything I've ever had here has been excellent. And I'm picky about breakfast!

Went to a really neat little breakfast joint in Nashville. I'll say it differently. A neat little joint that was good for breakfast because they're open all day. The Pied Piper at 1601 Riverside. The owners are the Piper family and they apparently love music. The place reminded me of Lynn's Paradise cafe in Louisville with the 50's tables, but it had a music theme. The breakfast menus were printed on what was meant to be vinyl records, the regular menu was in an album jacket and the walls were decorated with posters of music concerts, etc. Really well done, fun, and the food was really good.

This place is in Uxbridge Massachusetts, called Baker Boy Town Grill Diner on 146a, (775 Quaker Hwy).
I've been there many times, because I know the owners pretty well, also there food is pretty good.
The typical lunch there is $6.99.

It's been awhile since I've heard anyone talking about the Toddle House. My parents met at a Toddle House in NC in the 40's. They were married in 1948 and were together until last month when my father died. My daddy had 5 Toddle House's that he managed in Mobile until around 1964. He transfered to Greensboro, NC, and then to Richmond, VA. He was contacted by Joe Rogers, Sr., who had been with the Toddle House, to come to work with him in the Waffle House. He went to Atlanta for a few months and went to Anniston, AL and opened two Waffle Houses there.

I read some of the entries on the forum, and they did have some of the recipes correct except that the hash browns were not browned in oil, they were browned in butter. That is why they were so good. Everything served at the Toddle House and the Waffle house were all from scratch...pies, waffles, steaks...Daddy told me how he made the filet's wrapped in bacon.

Needless to say, I was raised on some mighty fine cooking...mama and daddy were both outstanding cooks. My mama made homemade pies... chocolate, strawberry, banana, pecan, etc, my entire life. They were the Best.

Wow! I am surprised I haven't already responded to this thread. So, my choice: "Deli-News" in Dallas. By far my personal favorite Sunday brunch restaurant. Great smoked fish and wonderful breakfast egg dishes with those really good large, thick pork sausages in the natural casing along with wonderful home fried potatoes. Also, terrific bagels and Danish. Including my favorite Danish: poppy seed. Best of all, they know us and they know what we like. We don't even get menus. They just bring our regular favorite dishes to the table. Now, that's service!

For the record my breakfast places are here with pictures of course.

http://www.roadfood.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=22052

No pictures but if you want a unique breakfast experience Hell's Kitchen in downtown Minneapolis is the place.

Michael, not ever being a smoker, I am finding it much more pleasant now.

I forgot to mention a local chain in Columbus called TeeJay's. Huge breakfasts with everything from creamed beef on toast or biscuits and sausage gravy and biscuits to hash and eggs, homefries and potato cakes, to omelets and the Barnyard Buster, which will leave you waiting till the next day to have room for another meal.

Of course, it's not as pleasant as it used to be before they banned smoking in public places in Ohio.

Quality Deli in Piscataway NJ has a few great breakfast specials. Eggs, potatos, toast, jelly, coffee for 2:50, to go or stay in. Nice people, fast, good service. Old school deli worth the stop.

Rascal house is still there for now- Condo plans cancelled as MIami is way overbuilt w/new and in progress highrises- smart money is pulling out and cutting losses- we will take years to absorb current inventory- but it will happen eventually-IMHO

Hello all,
We just returned from a trip to Wisconsin and I have two places to pass along to the readership. They are both in Baraboo.
Jenn's Alpine Cafe is a great place for breakfast. It's the middle of apple season and they serve wonderful apple pancakes. Slices of fresh apple dunked in pancake batter and griddled. No need for syrup on these jewels. The other find was the apple cider donuts from the Sky-Hi Orchard. They have an on premises bakery that put out these soft cake donuts that have to be tasted to be believed. (They also bake a variety of pies which are outstanding.)

Kuppy's Diner in Middletown, PA. It is located downtown Middletown, behind a bank. Anyone there can tell you exactly where it is. It's small, friendly, family owned and operated. It is an original old diner. Service is very fast and friendly. Breakfast favorites for me are the dried-chipped-beef and gravy over biscuits, the eggs over light and home fries. Coffee is very good too.

They are open from early morning until 7pm on weekdays, and until 2pm on Saturdays. Meals for dinner and lunch are very good too.

Just got back from a trip to Chicago where we went to Lou Mitchells. The line on a Sunday morning moved quickly and we were given fresh donut holes while we waited. Once you're seated eveyone gets a monkey dish with two orange slices and a cooked prune.

The omelettes were served in a skillet-delicious Greek omelettes with Greek sausage, feta, tomatoes and thinly sliced home fries. Greek toast with sesame seeds was a nice change. OJ was freshly squeezed, the french toast was delicious-reminded me of baba without the rum. We were stuffed for the whole day-really a great breakfast.
