#28 Find the ten best breakfast places in Edmonton

Background: Breakfast is the best meal to eat out. It’s usually edible even if not brilliant cuisine, can be nuanced which makes the possibilities for good creative fare endless, is affordable and feels like a luxury. I have found some mighty fine breakfast places on my journey. Favorites include Dot’s Diner in Boulder, The Yankee Doodle in New Haven, Demitasse in Victoria and The Antik Café in Ankara. Road-trip wise the best breakfast I ever had was in a café in Farmington, New Mexico. I can picture the restaurant in my head and taste the green chili sauce but cannot, for the life of me, remember the name of the place…maybe I can convince SV to drive south first on our way back to Edmonton this summer…

I love a good cup of coffee, clean silverware, friendly servers, food that elicits “so good!”s and a relaxed atmosphere. I have been in Edmonton about 8 months and I will be here for at least two more years so this is a feasible undertaking.

Status: So far, I have enjoyed a number of contenders in town including Sugar Bowl, Barb & Ernie’s and brunch at Murietta’s. I want to be systematic about this however, so any place is fair game from here on out.

Plan of Action (POA): Recruit people to go to breakfast with me and solicit suggestions for candidates for the list.
