San Diego is the biggest breakfast city in America

breakfast

I'm really bad when it comes to eating breakfast. I know, I know, it's "the most important meal of the day" and it gives you a good start and all those other slogans, but I find myself grabbing just a cup of tea in the morning and that's it. No oatmeal, no juice, no fruit, nothing. This is probably something I should fix.

Maybe I should move to San Diego. According to this survey conducted by Jimmy Dean, more people in San Diego eat breakfast than any other city in America. The whole list is here so I won't give away the rest of the top ten, but I will say that Detroit is #5, Pittsburgh is #14, and Atlanta is #22.

By the way, I haven't mentioned it yet, but February is National Hot Breakfast Month.

- Mystic Mocha - a coffee shop that, among other things, has things like a Butternut Squash/Thai Red Curry/EGG breakfast burrito and muffins and scones like Sweet Potato and Coconut

- El Zarape - Mexican food join that has all kinds of breakfast items

- Park House Eatery - New American great food

- Gulf Coast Grill - New Orelans/Creole/Cajun/Latin American brunch

And that's just one small neighborhood just outside of downtown. Makes living in San Jose that much harder.

Now that makes sense. I can't imagine living in Nebraska and saying, gee I feel like a half a grapefruit this morning!

The food concession is operated by the world class Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs WV, about 50 mins away.

But, Mmmmmm fresh baked goodies, and a killer breakfast. Also, Fried Green Tomatoes on the menu!
