We know we're not alone when we say that breakfast is the only reason we get out of bed in the morning. With all the pancakes, bacon and fried eggs, how could we possibly sleep through this meal? It is clearly the best meal of the day, and not because it's the best for us. Just because it's got the best options.
While lunch has sandwiches and dinner has mac and cheese, all we really want all day is breakfast. And not just any breakfast, but the best. Just like with pies and cakes, breakfast has some dishes that are so much better than others. And some that shouldn't even dare make an appearance at this meal. Behold, the best and worst breakfast dishes, in order (first being the best).
