It's been too long since I've had a great breakfast. Since breakfast is the most important meal of the day, this is a problem. I make a mean omelette and breakfast sandwich, but they're getting old. It's definitely not the same as going out.
I look back a couple months ago to a fantastic breakfast I had with a few buddies at Compton's on Broadway. If you're looking for a gourmet breakfast, this isn't the place. Compton's is an unattractive diner type of restaurant, that offers the basic breakfast foods. Unless you live under a rock, you know that these are the hidden gems for breakfast. It's cheap, fast, and pretty damn tasty. I should really go here more often; next weekend, I'm suggesting this to my friends after a night of hanging out.
While Compton's is a solid choice, it doesn't really compare to Max London's. I went to Max London's last semester with my family, over parents weekend. If you're looking for a gourmet breakfast, this is the place. Great coffee and fresh squeezed OJ is placed on the table, and they have choices from breakfast pizzas to topnotch waffles, salmon, and caviar. This place is definitely awesome to go to once in awhile; it's too crowded, expensive, and time consuming to go everyday to.
If Dhall didn't have such a terrible breakfast, I wouldn't need to go out. Hopefully, I'll take a trip out in the near future and satisfy this craving.

Chipotle > Moes
Mexican food is one of my favorite types of food. Even though I don't like spicy food, I still manage to enjoy a good taco, quesadilla, and tortilla chips. It's hard for me to enjoy Mexican food as much as I enjoy Tacos de Pueblo, a Mexican food stand at the farmer's market right near my house. This place is outrageous. These four guys from Mexico hand make corn tortillas, put them on a stone over a fire, and grill them. They then offer beef, chicken, and pastor. I always get the tacos de pastor; this has unbelievable pork freshly cut from the spit, delicious mozzarella cheese, and pineapple. My mouth is watering as I write this. Anyway, now that I've had tacos from this place, I set the bar pretty damn high.
The two Mexican food chains, Chipotle and Moe's, are about as close as they get to Tacos de Pueblo. I've mostly been to Chipotle, and always get their tacos. You can choose to get the tacos with any meat, and toppings. They also do a great job on the taco shell. I like how they keep their menu simple; you can choose from a quesadilla, burrito, burrito bowl, and tacos, and then you tell them what exactly you want in them. Moe's is different in this way. The first thing I noticed was how confusing the menu was; I felt like a dumb ass trying to order because the menu had names for meals, without explaining what exactly they were. I just asked for tacos and told the guy what I wanted in them. The meal however came with chips, which is a huge advantage over Chipotle. The tacos were good, but I'd say I'm more of a Chipotle guy. It's hard to beat Tacos de Pueblo, but Chipotle will never let me down.
