Best Breakfast

I ate my face of in Saratoga this past weekend. Although my Roma's sandwich exceeded expectations, I think the best meal of the weekend award goes to the breakfast I ate Saturday morning. I went with my friend Jen. We had a couple of ideas in mind, and headed towards Phila Street. Our first choice was Beverly's, but I'd heard that the owner got arrested and we weren't sure if it was open. We parked on Phila across from Ravenous...which happened to be open for breakfast. I think this is a relatively new thing for them, and a lucky discovery for us.

Knowing I was going to Roma's for lunch, I didn't want a huge breakfast. I was also slightly hungover from my margarita intake the night before. I don't think I could have made a wrong choice, though. I chose the Rise 'n' Shine: crepe filled with scrambled egg, bacon, and gruyere. Amazing. It was the perfect size- about the size of a slice of bread. The thinness of the crepe allowed for a good amount of non-crepe ingredients, so every bite was perfect and I still had room for Roma's a couple of hours later. It was also not at all greasy, which is a problem I sometimes have with breakfast foods. My meal came with a side of Ravenous's famous pomme fritte, and my chosen dipping sauce was pesto mayo. I also put some of the mayo on the crepe, and this was pretty great.

I really think this was the best breakfast of my life. A close second was the breakfast I had Sunday...chocolate chip pancake from Country Corner, anyone?
