By Isadora Pennington
hey say it’s the most important meal of the day.
Breakfast, which literally means to break the fast of
the night before, has been posited to be immensely
beneficial to your health beyond being tasty.
Researchers at Harvard found evidence that links regularly
eating breakfast with maintenance of a healthy weight and
reducing risks of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
Logically, it makes sense that eating a well-rounded meal in the
morning will help to curb hunger throughout the day, but it
also can regulate your energy which helps cognitive function.
Now, to be fair, I’ve never really been one of those die
hard breakfast fans. I have been known to eat burritos or
pizza upon waking in the morning, and it has taken me
many years to come around to an appreciation for traditional
breakfast foods. My husband, on the other hand, would eat
breakfast three times a day if I didn’t fight him on it. When
I mentioned that I was going to tour some of my favorite
breakfast places for this article, his eyes glistened as if it was
Christmas morning.
The hardest part of compiling this list is without a doubt
the immense plethora of options from which to choose. I
would wager that there are hundreds of places in this city
where I could go to get a tasty breakfast. And Atlantans
surely do love their brunch, don’t they? It’s not uncommon
on the weekends to find that your favorite local restaurant
might have a wait that’s an hour or more, and we all dutifully
stand about until our table is ready, wistfully dreaming of
fluffy pancakes and savory bacon.
For this piece, I opted to take a slightly more nuanced
approach in deciding where to visit. While there are plenty of
popular and impossibly hip restaurants to choose from, there
are also some real gems that fly just under the radar. Listed
below are five of my personal favorite — and in my opinion,
underrated — diners and restaurants serving delectable
breakfast foods.
