Breakfast things

The Breakfast Connundrum: It's January and my time is being swallowed up by that awful beast called "The Busy Season". With Saturday being my only free day I want to be able to sleep in, lounge around, eat a good breakfast and dinner, and catch up on little things in life, like maybe reading a few pages in a book or maybe trying to write something. I'm not even considering being social. Is that too much to ask? Apparently. Saturday brunch poses a problem. I am not going to haul myself out of my apartment at 9, even 10, to get a good table. I will take my time. Which means that by the time I am ready to go, brunch is in full swing and finding somewhere to eat will mean waiting in line. But free time is at a premium! I don't want to wait! Hence - the breakfast connundrum. Andrea's friend Maya recommended Dr. Generosity (2197 Bloor St. W) in Bloor West Village. Andrew and I were in the area, and decided to give it a visit. Unfortunately, we were impatient and despite the teasing menu (crab and spinach eggs hollandaise! cream cheese and strawberry stuffed french toast!), we crossed the street and decided to just get a greasy spoon meal at The Sunset Grill instead. The lineup was even longer. Desperate, hungry and short on time we gave in to our dirty mistress: McDonalds. It was good. When we walked in, on the radio the Zombies asked us, "Who's your daddy?". I'm sorry :/

The Dr. does sound good!

My favourite breakfast place is Boom, although Maya apparently doesn't think it's that great.

I love Benny Boom...

You GOTTA try Dr. Generosity! It's worth the wait. And I'm impatient.

Teri, that's my hood!

I have had the Sunsent Grill breakfast and would probably rate it about a 6/10. I've had better, much better, and it is CRAZY busy in there on Saturdays and Sundays which slows down the service and thus hinders the overall experience.

I have only been to Dr. Generosity for dinner, but it was so so good. Their roast chicken breast stuffed with spinach made my 2005 Year in Menu Review. You might be able to make a reservation, I know that's we did for dinner. If you decide to go back let me know how breakfast/brunch was!
