What I don't really get is why the Robs put this as 'news' in NY Mag this week. English or Irish breakfast has been available in the city before this - check out Kinsale's among other places, although I'm not vouching for the quality as it's been a while since I tried theirs.

A nice fry-up as actually quite useful for handling that 'just off the plane' feeling in the morning having taking the overnight flight from the U.S. to the UK. All those carbs and fat, plus a nice large dose of the caffeinated beverage of your choice, really take the edge off of jet lag.

English don't eat chips with breakfast? HA!

You don't get more British than "Little Chef", and the standard Olympic Breakfast includes chips:

Sotto Cinque annual Thanksgiving Wine & Dine Home-made Feast ($32/adult; $10/child 10 & under).

Haven't tried but it's in the hood 84th + 3rd.

Look at that pathetic giant puddle of canned Heinz baked beans.

How are we supposed to take this seriously when half of the plate are cheap sweet beans right out of the can?

Would you take an American breakfast seriously if 1/3rd of the standard plate was Skippy peanut butter?

And what's with the quality of most English sausage? Often more filler than meat. They are obsessed with only "quality" cuts, yet fill it with rusk. Give me snouts, ears and tails any day over bready filler.

And fry bread? It's plain white bread dunked in the deep fryer. Mega high calorie, and blah. More like a giant unseasoned crouton for the sea of canned beans than proper toast.

I don't see the problem... Bacon, sausage, eggs, beans, tomato and toast... No, this is a perfectly acceptable English or Aussie breakfast. Sure some may say a FULL English breakfast includes black pudding, and surely fried mushrooms and hash browns wouldn't go astray, but this is fine.

Heart Attach on a plate

The Papaya King in Philly closed down a few years ago.

Whoever did this list, you do realize Philly has a Papaya King too, right?

@NYminknit if you associate great food with a high price tag you're probably not a "foodie" in the first place.

BTW, I despise the word "foodie."

And I agree, let's here some of the other options out there!

I doubt that is a Chicago dog - a true Chicago dog has relish, sport pepper, pickle and tomato

There's Sylvia's and Veselka, for cheaper options. Soul food/southern food places in general offer more family-style meals for less for Thanksgiving.

But @QueenAlli, the recession option is cooking at home--it's rare that NY higher end restaurants offer a la carte on Thanksgiving. (I should know, I have eaten out every Thanksgiving in New York since 1996.) I am sympathetic to the recession issue (totally in need of money myself) but I think that for "non-foodie friendly" options you should go to a non-foodie site. Like Yahoo.

@simon: hot dogs are hardly bourgeois dining. Besides, North Jersey beats both cities when it comes to hot dogs. Sabrett originated in Jersey City, N.J. and was usurped by New York. We also have Best's, Thumann's, Schickhaus, and others.
