Forget the rubber chicken circuit, there’s nothing quite as good as a lazy Sunday brunch and a hearty plate of eggs and bacon to match. Some may enjoy sitting down to a heap of lunch options. For others, the best thing in life is simply dinner for breakfast. First Awakenings has it all, and then some. Endless classics come in big servings, but the menu gets creative, too. There are Hawaiian, Californian or turkey dill “crêpeggs,” chicken or tuna salad with fruit, BLT with melted cheese and eggs, and even a tortilla burger.
