I have not had any breakfast today, and am starving. What are your favorite breakfast foods? Where is your favorite restaurant breakfast food, or fast food breakfast? What is your go-to?

I love one egg over-hard with a slice of bacon, on a piece of toast as a sandwich. Perfect amount of food. Add chili garlic Cholula.
 
Our local small town diner makes a bacon cheeseburger omelette that I get every time I go. Beef, bacon, cheese, pickles, onions. Damn good

I have never heard of such a thing, but that sounds fascinating. I'm a huge fan of pickles in foods you don't expect them - Downtown Deli's salad with dill pickles in it is the stuff of dreams.
 
Breakfast typically is coffee. Fast food which is pretty rare, would be a sausage McGriddle. Restaurant (brunch) would probably be french toast with some bacon if I can’t find anything interesting. Usually for brunch I pick something creative and atypical they’ve come up with. Not an egg person.

Chicken and Waffles from Provisions in Ames if I want to sit down and enjoy something.

Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Bagel from McDonald's if I want fast food.

Toast and Over-easy eggs if I'm at home.

Eggs are a general go-to but if I can get into a full on breakfast burrito I'm in a good place.

When I used to eat at diners occasionally I'd go for a skillet of some sort.

I'm the only person that I've met that pretty much hates all breakfast foods. I hate waffles, pancakes, french toast, cereal, toast.

I am OK with eggs, but prefer them mixed with plenty of stuff that isn't breakfast food. So for example, I'll eat a skillet breakfast but want one with lots of veggies or a southwest style one. I'll eat an omelet, but it has to have everything in it.

The Original Pancake House in Edina has a Southwestern Omelet that I love.

My normal breakfast is avocado on half a toasted multi-grain English muffin and half a banana. Saturdays usually consist of bacon or sausage with eggs in some fashion.

Noting beats a good breakfast buffet. And one of my my favorite breakfast foods is goetta, which can only be found in Cincinnati, and I can only get once a year.

I rarely eat breakfast.

But waffles, eggs, and ham was always popular in our house growing up. I will make this occasionally for myself. Thin waffles, not the thicker crispy ones most common at breakfast places and hotels. We had a wonderful waffle iron made by Black and Decker. Unfortunately it was lost to a house fire about 12 years ago and it being old was no longer in production. Parents found a decent replacement, but not as good. Earlier this week someone listed one of the black and decker waffle irons for sale on the facebook. Bought it and will replace the very average waffle iron I currently own. Store bought syrup is not good unless it's pure maple syrup. If you want some good maple syrup make simple syrup (2 parts sugar dissolved in 1 part water) and stir in Mapleine (best brand of imitation maple flavoring)

Eggs are best over easy.

We have a chain of a breakfast/lunch place here in MSP called "The Original Pancake House." They have an item called the fresh berry waffle that I get every time. Belgian waffle, raspberries/blackberries/strawberries, whipped cream, and berry sauce. It's like 950 calories, but damn is it good. I think the key is that they make their own whipped cream.

OMG, I thought I was the only person in the world who orders this. McGriddle - sweet with eggs/bacon=not good. Biscuits are fine but dry so need lots of butter to make them suitable. I can't believe McDonalds doesn't offer a Bacon Egg and Cheese McMuffin (I've had them special made but most won't do it.) So that leaves the bagel sandwich, which fortunately is delicious!
 
A local legend in Jensen Beach for breakfast is Jan's. Downtown. Everything is delicious but I usually get a Southwestern Omelet substitute Bacon for Sausage. Comes with onion, pepper, cheese, avocado, mushrooms. Sour Cream and salsa on the side. And they have delicious marble rye toast. Throw in their home fries and they offer a HUGE glass of fresh squeeze OJ that is amazing.

I always skip lunch after one of those.

If we're talking fast food, pretty much any breakfast item from Hardees. -- Sausage, Egg, Cheese Biscuit is good; cinnamon raisin biscuit is good too.

A fresh slice of Casey's breakfast pizza is pretty awesome, too.

My favorite breakfast is pretty simple. 2 pieces of thick sliced homemade bread - toasted - and dripping with real butter on a plate. Then place 4 eggs - sunny side up but cooked just barely enough to turn the egg whites to white - right on top and then eat with a fork.
Runny/creamy deliciousness!

I could add countless breakfast food references from Parks and Recreation, but I will refrain and just add one.
