My 'Local' list
in DC:
Mount Pleasant:
- Radius Pizza - New York Style Pizza yumm
- Adam Express - Korean takeout - they also have Chinese food under hot lamps (yuck) and sushi (fine and cheap, tho not stellar), but the Korean food is made to order and very tasty. Plus the older couple who run the place are sweet.
- The Taco truck at 17th and Columbia
Capitol Hill:
Aatish - Pakistani food, better than any I had in London
Las Placitas - cozy Salvadoran and Mexican food

What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?
one slice toast with melted feta cheese (inasmuch as feta "melts" in the toaster oven) with an egg on top (cooked in the microwave in a little microwave egg cooker for 36 seconds). Alongside it, a piece of seasonal fruit and a cup of coffee.

Wow, I got some great ideas for my next travel jaunt, hopefully some of y'all can head up north & try my favorites!

You guys need to grow up. Wow, yogurt and toast, I'm sure the highlight of your week is going out for a wine cooler with your coworkers.
I'll usually pop a couple biscuits in the oven, then slice up a potato and get that going with olive oil in a pan. After a while I add onion, red or yellow bell pepper, and garlic. Plate up the potatoes then top the biscuits with a fried egg and a couple slices of American cheese.
After a breakfast like that I'm all set to be bored at work for 8 hours and not get hungry till dinner time.
What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?
Cheerios with 1% milk and a sliced banana or an egg sandwich made with a multigrain light english muffin, with a little reduced fat mexican blend shredded cheese melted on top.
What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?
Two skinless, sriracha-coated chicken legs from the econo-pak I roast on Sundays. Old Weight Watchers trick.
What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?
i get super cranky if i don't have breakfast with in an hour of waking up, so i always have something before i leave home. usually, 2 eggs cooked sunny side up with salt and pepper, and a piece of toast or a tortilla (to get all the yolk yumminess)
when i run out of eggs, i'll have oatmeal with coffee flavored silk (rather than cooking it, i serve it as soon as i get up, shower and get ready, and eat it right before i leave. that way it isn't mushy, which i hate, but its soft enough to eat).
What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?
My breakfast goes like this every weekday:
Coffee #1 (milk, no sugar, brewed one cup at a time)
Whole-wheat toast with peanut butter or cashew butter
Smoothie (banana, yogurt, frozen fruit, flax meal, apple juice)
Coffee #2
I am one of those people who is ravenously hungry in the morning, so I have to eat a pretty big breakfast. And I love sleeping, but I love coffee just a little bit more!
What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?
My breakfast is usually either:
-Kashi cereal with soy milk
-Peanut butter, Nutella, and bananas on whole wheat
-Whole wheat & marmite
-Just an apple
I'll drink either soy milk or tea, or the two combined.
What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?
I have a rotation because I get bored easily. :)
+one egg, cheddar and tomato on toasted multigrain bread
+Greek yogurt with walnuts and honey
+cottage cheese or a hard boiled egg and a glass of vegetable juice (I prefer Knudsen Very Veggie, but V8 will do in a pinch)
+ricotta from Saxelby's with apricots, pine nuts and a drizzle of balsamic
I love oatmeal but I generally only eat it during the cooler months of the year. When I do I dress it up with blueberries and almonds, or butter and sea salt, or a few dashes of hot sauce, or a little grated sharp cheese.
I drink iced Earl Grey in the summer, hot tea the rest of the year. I'll occasionally have coffee with milk instead. And I drink a ton of water.
What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?
Breakfast is half a cup of coffee with half half-and-half and half fat-free half-and-half.
Second breakfast, when I get round to it, is the second half of the coffee with a toasted whole-wheat English muffin, 1/4 cup of 2% Fage (I LOVES my Fage!) and 2 oz. smoked salmon, with some capers, chopped red onion, and/or minced scallion on top.
Alternative is a smoothie with frozen banana, frozen berries, Fage, and OJ, with a scoop of whey protein powder and maybe some flax seeds.
Other alternative is oatmeal (steel-cut porridge oats, thanks -- yeah, the kind that takes 30 minutes to cook. I work at home) with my beloved Whey Low (the only sugar sub I can stand), a sprinkle of coarse salt, and a few toasted walnuts.
I guess my breakfasts vary a fair amount. But lunch is usually either fruit salad (in summer, and if I didn't have fruit in the morning) or lentil and vegetable soup. Fage 2% usually crops up with these options as well.
What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?
Since I love my bed and can barely leave it in the morning, I don't eat until I get to work. I used to keep milk in the fridge there for cereal (my favorite, could-eat-it-for-every-meal food), but that got annoying. So now it's instant oatmeal in a cup. Generic (sorry Quaker, I'm poor!) lower sugar apples and cinnamon costs me about $3 for a month's worth.
What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?
Ed, I'm curious about your Mimi Sheraton comment. I think her book, FROM MY MOTHER'S KITCHEN is one of the best food memoirs.
For breakfast, I like the habitual. Currently that is Organic Valley cottage cheese (would that it were English) and Trader Joe's Greek style yogurt with banana and some sort of acid fruit. My all time favorite, but no longer available to me, was halved, toasted La Brea Bakery multi-grained "baugette" with a mild feta and thick sliced tomato. And always strong, black coffee
What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?
light multi-grain english muffin w/ 2% cheese
or
rice krispies w/ blueberries and milk
always a big thermos of hot tea
What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?
best toaster ever- my breakfast is:
1 egg
1 morningstar farms sausage patty
1 english muffin
1 slice american cheese
or
multigrain cheerios and soymilk.
What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?
Oddly right now it has been bread fingers and soft boiled eggs. Alternately a piece of whole wheat/spelt raisin/cranberry bread toasted with pumpkin butter.
What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?
On weekdays: I always have one a half slices of spelt toast with yogurt cheese. One is too little, two too much! Iced tea in the summer, hot tea with milk in the winter.
On weekends: Scrambled eggs with cheese and leeks or scallions, tomato on the side, a slice of toast and maybe a sausage if I'm in the mood.
What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?
When I have a little time: bagel + cream cheese
When I have less time: clif bar
Usually water to drink.
What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?
I usually have a banana while I walk to the train; and then a Horizon Organic string cheese and a cup of coffee once I get into the office.
What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?
I do yoga in the mornings and i dont have time to eat so I eat protein bars.
I choose ones that have up to 200 calories.
On days when i don't have yoga, I have toasted blueberry waffles with a bit of peanut butter.
What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?
smoothies- chuck everything in a blender and you have an instant brekkie.
Sometimes I enjoy natural yogurt with fruit, nuts and seeds- bring on the full fat. Low fat anything is just plain wrong.
And I'd like to say that I don't just get people who eat only half a piece of fruit- why not eat the whole thing??
What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?
Even if I'm going out for breakfast or brunch, I never miss my TJs non-fat yogurt (or 0% Fage). And most days it is Nature's Path Flax Plus or Barbara's Cin Puffins w/ dried cherries in the yogurt. I am happy to get out of bed thinking about my breakfast. MMmm.
What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?
It's amazing that I can't eat the same thing for dinner within a 2 week span, but I can eat the same damn breakfast every single day. A bowl of cereal, always a combination of two different varieties. Currently, I'm working on Kashi Cinnamon Harvest along with Kashi Heart to Heart Oat Flakes and Wild Blueberry Clusters with soy milk. A glass of OJ always goes along with it. From start to finish, probably 5 minutes, with no major appliances or sharp utensils involved.
What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?
Just ground Pinon coffee, one whole wheat toast & banana or one whole wheat toast with peanut butter. Coffee must be very very hot.
What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?
Ronnybrook Farms Plain Yogurt (not low fat - full blast, baby!) with a spoonful of blueberry jam. I also quite like farmer's cheese with some raspberry jam, but it's only the farmer's cheese that's made my parents' local Russian grocery store.
What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?
A glass of water. Haven't had time to establish a new routine since I've moved. At home, it was hot cocoa and a bagel.
What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?
kashi cereal w/plenty of cinnamon
