It can only be the best of the best when it comes to the most important meal of the day.

Let's face it, in theory, breakfast seems like it should be the simplest of meals to prepare and cook. It should be easy, and breakfast should be great to eat at any restaurant, right? Yeah, not so fast. It is just not that simple.

Whether it is whipping up some scrambled eggs with home fries and bacon, putting together the perfect omelet, or creating sweet delights like pancakes and waffles with the perfect toppings, putting together a great breakfast is an art form in its simplicity. If you are a breakfast restaurant aficionado you know exactly what I am talking about. There is no better way to start your day than with a great breakfast, and when it is done poorly there is no meal that will leave you more unsatisfied than a breakfast that just doesn't cut it.
