Why eggs?
“All happiness depends on a leisurely breakfast” – John Gunther

This is a blog about breakfast. More specifically, it’s about my ongoing search for great eggs.

Rather than just annoy a close circle of friends with my views on who does the best benedict in town, or whose scrambles rule the roost, I’ve decided to share these views with anyone silly enough to listen (or read, in this case). I figure there’s at least a handful of breakfast nuts out there who, like me, will welcome some tips on where to find the best breakfast spots in town.

So, why eggs? Why not pancakes, or toast? Why not porridge? Because eggs, for me, are the best test of a good hot brekky. They’re quick to cook, easy to compare, widely available, and, in most cases, a pleasure to eat. Although eggs will be the focus, I won’t totally ignore non-egg subject matter, like muesli, fruit salad, and the like. No point alienating the health freaks. But who’s ever craved a nice-healthy-bowl-of-muesli the morning after a big night out?

My plan is to blog my way through breakfast at two levels. First, I’ll do reviews of breakfast venues – good and bad – and rate them according to the eggs, the extras (sides, seasonings, sauces), the coffee, the rest (other food), the help, the price, and the buzz (crowd, venue, atmosphere, etc). Second, I’ll dish out my own set of gongs for “best whatever”..

I’m not a breakfast man myself. Usually I confine myself to a cigarette and a cup of cappuccino. However occasionally I fancy a nice Egg Benedict. And the ones Breakfast Blog offers us are really yummy.
