Feeling in the Mood?

Much like my eggs, the winner of the Breakfast Bake Off is scrambled.

For a number of reasons, I think you will agree it has been far too difficult to decide which fast food restaurant has "the best breakfast known to man kind."

I have eaten more fake eggs in the past week than I have my entire life. I have studied service styles, taste profiles, and thought about this long and hard. I would be lying to you if I told you one restaurant out of the ones I tried was the best. Therefore, much like your life, there is a "season" for certain breakfasts and I have selected the best restaurant for your season.

Below I have outlined different breakfast moods and the obvious selection you should make when in this mood:

In the mood for: Champion's Breakfast
Thought Process:"I want the ultimate. I don't care about calories. Give me good food, amazing coffee and lots of choices. Oh, and I don't want to spend more than $5."
Restaurant: McDonald's
Why?: They have amazing coffee. By far the most selection of good tasting food and the prices are moderate.

In the mood for: The All American Breakfast
Thought Process: "Just give me something classic and original. I don't need a special egg burrito or a fast food attempt to re invent the egg. I want something pure, just and wholesome. I want a plain bagel toasted with plain cream cheese."
Restaurant: Dunkin Donuts
Why?: They have bagels with cream cheese that could change you're life. Their coffee is one of the best and America runs on Dunkin.

In the mood for: The Rich and Fabulous Breakfast
Thought Process: "I make enough money to spend $8 on fast food breakfast. Jealous? You should be because I'm going to get a unique breakfast creation and you can't afford it."
Restaurant: Einstein Bros.
Why?: They have some of the best premium breakfast choices out there and they're different from everywhere else. Did I mention that their coffee is better than Dunkin and McDonald's?

Use this guide to help you decide where to go eat when you're feeling in the mood.

The Breakfast Bake Off has consumed my life for the past week, and it was worth it. While there is no obvious winner to this week as there was the Sandwich Smackdown, I still hope you have gained something. Even if it was just the knowledge that Panera stops serving breakfast at 10:30am.
