Some crepes with a seafood and asparagus filling and some cheese sauce on top. A maple cinnamon roll. A fruit salad. A mug of tea. A glass of fresh orange juice. ---

Small pastry assortment with a fruit cup (berries & citrus, get that flavorless melon out of here!) and jasmine tea. ---

For a lot of these options quality is paramount. If it’s going to be mediocre, just get me bacon and eggs and toast, which is totally mundane and hard to ruin. But if it’s a great restaurant, I’m always up for Asian, and for brunch, nothing beats a great selection of dim sum. And for dinner I’m fine with a sashimi and sushi _omakase_, but only at the kind of restaurant that, sadly, would bankrupt me if I went there too often! ---

My go-to brunch order is eggs Neptune (eggs Benedict with crab cake instead of the Canadian bacon) whenever available. Could be tempted by corned beef hash or a scrapple-lettuce-tomato-fried egg sandwich on white toast. And to drink… meatballs. ---

Duck Egg Bhurji, Lobster, Malabar Paratha. More or less a duck egg omelette with lobster and Indian spices. I tried it at Gymkhana restaurant in London. Divine. ---

There’s a place in Calvert County - I think at one of the marinas - that did (does?) brunch and they made a killer eggs benedict with crabmeat. That and some fresh fruit would set me up for a very good day. Kinda makes the crunchy peanut butter on multi-grain toast that I had this morning seem really sad… ---

I’d just have a regular breakfast, two eggs over easy, buckwheat pancakes, hash browns, bacon, sausage, grits, bagel with lox and cream cheese, biscuits and gravy, melon slices, tomato juice, and Pepsi. If I’m really hungry a couple of slices of ham would help. ---

My go-to order at an omelet bar: one with everything. The person making it usually keeps pausing to look up at me, as if to ask: _really?_ And, over and over, the answer is: _yup._ ---

Inspired by this thread, I took myself out to brunch this morning. Eggs Benedict with asparagus and local ham on a croissant instead of an english muffin. “Cultured Oatmeal” (?) with berries and yogurt. And thick slabs of bacon, of course. > [@The\_Other\_Waldo\_Pepper](#): > > My go-to order at an omelet bar: one with everything. I spent two weeks doing minimal carbs, and I asked the server at our local greasy spoon cafe what he’d recommend. He said “I’ll just make you the omelet I make myself when I’m off carbs. Our awesome corned beef, sausage, Canadian bacon and American bacon. Spinach, broccoli, tomatoes, onions and mushrooms. And pepperjack cheese.” The thing was huge… the second half was dinner. I’ve had five of those omelettes since May 19th, and I’ve lost 10 lbs while doing so. ---
