IHOP's Bacon and Cheddar Hash Brown Stack

The IHOP menu claims the Bacon and Cheddar Hash Brown Stack is composed of "golden hash browns topped with crisp diced bacon, melted cheddar cheese, sliced tomato, an over-medium egg, rich hollandaise sauce, and green onion." Only parts of this are accurate. The hash browns, for example, are not golden. They are white. Friends, have you ever eaten raw potato? Don't eat raw potato.

Snapshots from Jamaica: Breakfast Highlights

My typical morning routine in Jamaica: wake up to watch the sun rise, eat breakfast number one, swim in the ocean, eat breakfast number two. Here are some highlights from both editions of breakfast.

Sunday Brunch: Granola

This recipe reminds me of early mornings on the ski hill, trying to find that balance of something that will keep me (trying) to stay upright on the slopes for the entire morning without weighing me down. Granola and milk seem like the perfect solution.

Video: 'Dr Breakfast,' an Animated Short About a Very Hungry Soul and Some Friendly Deer

You know that story about the soul that burst out of a man's eyeball and flew around the world eating everything in its path while the man's catatonic body was befriended by two deer? You don't? Watch this fantastic animated short by Stephen P. Neary to get caught up.

Sunday Brunch: Banana Bread

We have all had the experience of getting ready to head out to the grocery store and suddenly noticing the bunch of bananas sitting on the counter that has gone brown and wrinkly. Those bananas may not work as a breakfast you toss into a bag before you run out the door, but they have reached the perfect stage to go into banana bread.

Fast Food: Dunkin' Donuts Smokehouse Sausage Sandwich

Dunkin' is pushing the Smokehouse Sausage Breakfast Sandwich pretty hard these days. The SSBS is sausage, egg, and cheese on an English muffin. The sausage's pedigree is supposed to distinguish this from every other Dunkin' Donuts breakfast sandwich. It's from Hillshire Farms, which doesn't mean much to me, and its novel shape—a split link rather than a patty—seems a dubious departure, since "It's easy to cram into your mouth" sits pretty high on the list of positives regarding most DD sandwiches.

Sunday Brunch: Brandy Bran Muffins

To me, muffins have never been the most enticing food. There's something about the overly sweet, sticky lumps sitting in a cardboard box in my office kitchen that I've always found disconcerting. But the lightly toasted bran, and sweet, soft, boozy raisins make this recipe a muffin I crave. Bran may not be the flashiest muffin, but it's the simplicity of the flavors in this recipe that drew me in.

A Sandwich a Day: Breakfast Burger at L'Epicerie Market, Los Angeles

Tucked beneath a loft building on an unassuming corner just outside of downtown Culver City, soccer moms, movie studio execs, Los Angeles Times food critic S. Irene Virbila and schmucks like me mingle in the causal café setting of L'Epicerie Market. This neighborhood joint sports one of the best happy hours in the area—with glasses of French wines and snacks priced at only $3 each—but more importantly, they make one of the best breakfast sandwiches on the Westside.

Cereal Eats: The Battle of the 'Waffle' Cereals

Now, this in no way takes away from my love of cereal, but I have a wild, uncontrollable love for waffles, too. I'd happily eat them plain, or even frozen. Look, I'm also a big fan of made-from-scratch-and-an-iron waffles, but that's another story for another time.

The Best Way To Eat Breakfast at McDonald's

I like McDonald's breakfast sandwiches, my wife loves their Hash Browns, and just the other day I was thinking about how there aren't enough crispy-potato-as-sandwich-filling sandwiches. Putting these three thoughts together I was struck by an idea that could be a) genius, b) stupid, or c) ingeniously stupid. You be the judge.
