Breakfast is indispensable. Not only does it provide essential early-morning nourishment to people of all ages throughout the week, it’s also becoming more and more trendy for both business meetings and social gatherings. Any time families and friends want to get together in a relaxed setting, they consider breakfast.
Why? Because the meal has a universal appeal to all ages and all pocketbooks.
Low-carb diets also have brought once-forbidden breakfast foods back into favor. Egg consumption has risen steadily in recent years. "In 1993, it was 234.6 per capita; in 2003, the figure was 254.1," says Linda Braun, director of consumer education for the American Egg Board.
Miss Braun attributes some of this to dietary trends but says a more compelling reason is that eggs offer some newly identified benefits. "The yolks are rich in choline, a nutrient that shows promise in early studies for preventing memory loss in later life, and lutein, known to combat age-related macular degeneration and cataracts," she says.
Whatever the rationale, steak and eggs and a barnyard full of other egg dishes from frittatas to huevos rancheros are being devoured with gusto.
At home, omelets and toast have always been popular, in the week hours after a night on the town or when you’re alone and want to curl up with some comfort food, a blanket, and a good book.
In restaurants, the meal once was pretty much over by 10 a.m. Today, that’s no longer true. With changing lifestyles, people are enjoying breakfast fare at all hours of the day and evening, too. Numerous restaurants across America, including the most fashionable eateries, serve traditional morning foods well past noon.
At the Stamford, Conn., City Limits Diner, one of three diners by this name in the area, manager Margaret Callanan says that within the past few years, breakfast business probably has doubled.
"The first segment to arrive in morning are the ’suits’, competitive lawyers and businessmen who use the hour to treat clients like guests rather than serving them bagels in their office," she says.
Typical of many diners, City Limits offers an enormous menu. Along with waffles and pancakes, it serves refined dishes that are surprising at a place in this category. A great favorite is Maryland-lump-crab-and-lobster cake Benedict. (If you leave out the English muffin, the rich combination is even low-carb-friendly.)
The most popular item is the country breakfast. It includes eggs, house-made hash brown potatoes, sausage, bacon and ham, plus multigrain toast from bread baked on the premises. At $7, it is a bargain.
