Mood lighting breakfast time at The Breakfast Club in London, England. I got apple and cream pancakes and questionably named huevos rancheros that were delicious but were only rancheros in the sense that there were black beans. My companion got eegs benedict. We split chocolate-banana-bacon pancakes.
Result: Victory!
I may have gone a little overboard at Stack & Still in London. My companion and I split pesto egg pancakes, spiced pear pancakes and coffee-cookie butter pancakes. I also got oreo-banana pancakes and shakshuka pancakes that my companion wanted no part of.
Result: Failure. I couldn’t quite finish my shakshuka cakes.
Another English breakfast, this time at Cafe 21 in downtown Colchester. This time I got a proper English Breakfast with scrammbled eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, bacon, sausage and baked beans. I also added some hashbrowns. My companion got and egg and lox breakfast sanwich. We also split banana-walnut waffles with ice cream and Welsh Rarebit- the king of cheeesy toast.

I almost didn't post this breakfast at The Hello Kitty Cafe at The MGM in Las Vegas. because it isn't really too much, but it is too cute. My companions and I got doughnuts: Batdz-Maru, Kitty Bow and Kerroppi; cupcakes: Gudetama and Kuromi; a Hello Kitty cookie; and a Chococat brownie.
Result: Victory! If there weren't limited quantities I would have gotten more.
Sad news: There was no cream in the Kerroppi doughnut.
Another fabulous Las Vegas breakfast at the Bacchanal Brunch Buffet at Ceasar's palace. I can't list everything I had, but know that there are 10 different stations and over 250 items. You can see my companions with their very resonable one or two plates, and me with my less resonable 7 plates. There were also follow-up plates.
Result: Victory? There was just no way to try every single item, but I did eat everything I took and didn't feel like I wanted to die afterwards. I cannot say the same for my companions.
First of several Las Vegas breakfasts, this one at Hash House a Go-Go in The Linq hotel. My companions and I got a waffle with scrambled eggs and bacon, a pancake with more scrambled eggs and turkey sausage, blueberry-lemon waffles, a bananna-brown sugar pancake, and the massive sage chicken and waffle tower. Oh, and of course we started with a bowl of donut bites and fancy lattes.
Result: Failure. Even four people can't counquer the chicken and waffle tower
Last big breakfast of 2023 at the American & Mexican DIner in Hartford, CT. My companion and I spilt a breakfast quesadilla with homefries, banana split french toast with ice cream, apple pancakes, and a chilaquiles omlette with refried beans.

My comanion and I split biscuits and gravy with smashed potatos, fried dough huevos rancheros, banana-blueberry bread, peanutbutter pie french toast and chocolate-vanallia-blueberry-banana pancakes.

Time for a return to the fabulous Pancake Pantry in Nashville, TN. My companion and I split banana bread pancakes, Caribbean pancakes, Sweedish pancakes, rolled peach pancakes, and canolli pancakes.
Result: Failure. I left one banana bread cake and one Caribbean cake. Don't worry, I ate them later.
It is hard to find a place that doesn't cover your breakfast in strawberries on the Fourth of July (I get it, I do). Luckily, Crepes Tea House in Southwick, MA had me covered. My companion and I split a breakfast crepe filled with eggs, bacon, smoked salmon, avacado, asparagus and spinich; pancakes stuffed with blueberries, blackberries and bananas; a masked potato chiburekki; and nalesniki with rasberries and blueberries. I also got a lavender matcha latte, while my companion got a white chocolate macadamia latte.

Every day is Cinco de Mayo at the Mexican America Diner in Hartford, CT. My companion got chilaquiles with green salas and poached eggs, while I got huevos rancheros with eggs over medium and churro pancakes. We also shared banana split french toast.
Result: Failure. My companion couldn't finish the chialaquiles, and I was too full to help. I did eat all of the decorative chocolate sauce and sprinkles, however.
Did you know big Yemeni breakfast is a thing? Well, I do now thanks to Dellah Coffee & Brunch House in Dearborn, MI. My companion and I split spicy fasolia with malawah bread, ashta and pistachio pancakes, and fatteh with dates. I had to get myself a chocolate and peanut butter waffle, because of course. Please excuse, the already-in-progress second photo, the fatteh took a while to come out, and I just couldn’t wait.
Result: Failure. My companion didn't actually eat any of the fatteh, but that is no excuse. I'll just have to try again.
