With our new
Cereal Eats column in full swing, we've been spending more time eating and opining about cereal around the office. Dry or with milk? What kind of milk? And do you drink the cereal-stained leftover milk after? Are you still coping with the emotional issues associated with being raised in a sugary-cereal-free household? How has it affected the rest of your life? Because it clearly has. Hear from all of the SE staffers what cereals, both hot and cold, we like best.

There is something so magical about those mini box sets—no need to make one heartbreaking, game-time decision on a single kind of cereal, but instead a variety, spread over several days. But they present another problem:
Which pack to choose? (Even the memory of this is stressing me out).

Forget
one a day, in Los Angeles, you could easily eat three sandwiches a day. And in this alternate universe of hero, sub, and panino bliss, each day would start with a breakfast sandwich, that eye-opening combination of egg, cheese, maybe a little meat, or a few vegetables thrown in for good measure. Here are eight that are up to the task.

I don't think I'd ever been to an eatery famous for its toast, but that's why locals and visitors crowd
Toh Soon Cafe, a Chinese coffee shop (or
kopitiam) occupying the better part of an alley off Campbell Street in the city of Georgetown.

You can always recognize a fellow cereal lover. Well, perhaps "lover" isn't strong enough. Cereal obsessive? Cereal junkie? You know who you are. The conversation could really go on for hours: likes and dislikes, childhood favorites, discontinued and hard to find varieties. We never got sweet cereals as kids, we got Kashi and unfrosted shredded wheat, health-food brand O's and Fiber One. It's finally time to have that conversation here.

We've talked about having a breakfast cereal column here for a while, and one of these days we actually will, but in the meantime we'll just report on new ones as they come in. These two are from
Bear Naked, the granola company that has a line of whole-grain, preservative-free, HFCS-free 'nolas. They recently came out with two "Cluster Crunch" cereals in Honey Almond and Maple Nut flavors, which, we've decided, are somewhere between Smart Start and Honey Bunches of Oats.

I like breakfast, but I don't like it more than sleep. And sleep wins 99 percent of the time. But during my week in Sweden I woke up early almost every day for breakfast because Swedish breakfast is pretty great—at least, in the form of the complimentary breakfast buffets at the hotels I stayed at. If you're looking for platefuls of hash browns, syrupy pancakes, and bacon,
you won't be happy, but if you like the sound of cereal, yogurt, dried fruits and nuts, and a make-your-own-open-faced-sandwich bar featuring a spread of breads, colds cuts, and cheeses, this is for you.

I was told that
the thing to order at Camellia Grill is their
"nutty" pancakes, a term of endearment the waiters use for the pecan pancakes. On my first visit, the pancakes were very good but not exceptional; on my second visit, they won me over.

Art Cliff is a diner through and through, but chef/owner Gina Stanley (who gave up a career in haute cuisine to move to Martha's Vineyard and buy the diner) creates a menu that is anything but average. In addition to all the short-order classics—omelets, fluffy blueberry pancakes, thick slabs of brioche French toast, all of which are executed perfectly just about every time—she's known for her more offbeat specials.

As Dunkin Brands, the corporate parent and franchisor of many Dunkin' Donuts locations,
prepares its upcoming IPO, there has been no shortage of new products released by the company lately; following on the heels of their
Big n' Toasty, they've just released the Blueberry Waffle Sandwich: egg and cheese with sausage or bacon on two blueberry waffles.
