  • 2010 | Best Breakfast

    Breakfast is not a leisurely meal. Breakfast is not a social hour. Breakfast--says it right there in the name--is when you wake your arse up and put something in that rumbling tumbly of yours so that you can get your day rolling. If you want to spend four hours languishing over eggs that got cold three hours and 57 minutes ago, fine. But that's called brunch. If you want to eat some basic, tasty grub that will satisfy you and not be bothered while you read the paper, head to the... More »

  • 2006 | Best Hangover Cure

    When you have a hangover, you don't want to cook. Nor do you want to shave, shower or have to be fit for human contact.

  • 2004 | Best Greasy Spoon

    This Lakewood hole-in-the-strip-center-wall is, now that Dan's Lakewood has shuttered, the finest hangover breakfast in town, which means that by its very definition it is the best greasy spoon around. They are one and the same. You wake up after being overserved, you need eggs, bacon, pancakes, sausage, hash browns, et. al. In fact, we may tie one on tonight just so we can have an excuse for eating a plateful of this tomorrow. Our favorite, actually, is the huevos rancheros, eggs and... More »
