If someone told me it was okay for me to eat eggs 10 times a
week (and that person would cut the toppings and wash the pan for me), I
would. Easily. Basically there are three great foods
in the world. They are: lasagna,
Thai food, and breakfast. If you
are one of those people who doesn’t like breakfast, I don’t get you. Seriously, what is your deal?
While I am strangely okay with standing in line at
Huckleberry, even on a Saturday at 9:30am, and I enjoy the poshness of brunch
at Joe’s, to me, the single best breakfast in the greater Los Angeles area is
found at Wendy’s in El Segundo. I
realize most of you won’t make the trek out there just for breakfast, but think
about mixing it into your schedule next time you are going to LAX in the
morning (mere minutes away!).
Wendy’s isn’t “old fashioned” or “classic”… it’s just…
old. Like it was erected
mid-century, and literally nothing changed about it, except for the waitresses
who are youthful and adorable. Check
out these dishes.
And these Rockwell prints, like, from Rockwellian
times. (The wall décor is all
Rockwell prints or Rockwell puzzles,
laminated and framed. Awesome.)
If you’re looking for a unique breakfast menu, don’t come to
Wendy’s. There are, like, four
omelet choices, which I think are just some variation of eggs with cheese
and/or bacon and/or vegetables.
(But seriously? What else do you want in an omelet?) Then there’s the option of pancakes or French
toast or just eggs, cooked to order.
Nothing fancy, but it’s all done right, and in an environment you simply
can’t find in Los Angeles (or at least no where that I’ve found).
So check it out.
Order the Spanish Omelet or Jose’s Favorite, with hash browns (with
peppers and onions) and an English muffin. You will love it.
Cash only.

But enough about Wendy's... What are your favorite LA breakfast spots?
Wow, I've never heard about this place. I like that place near your old digs in We Ho. We had Mexican eggsy breakfast there.
