WEEKDAY BREAKFAST
Every top-scoring restaurant here understands that a great weekday breakfast is a combo of stellar food delivered expeditiously (because the clocking-in time at work looms for many of us) and competent service. Our winners seem to have it all: Blue’s Egg, where monkey bread and stuffed browns are close to heaven (317 N. 76th St.); Engine Company No. 3, whether doing maple honey French toast or Colombian patacon con huevo (217 W. National Ave.); and Mad Rooster Cafe, which has made homemade Greek yogurt into an incredible morning “dessert” (4401 W. Greenfield Ave.).
WEEKEND BRUNCH
While sister restaurant Blue’s Egg dominates in the weekday category, Story Hill BKC (5100 W. Bluemound Rd.) has its hands on the top weekend prize. Might be the combo of Turkish shakshouka and crepe monsieur. Bay View’s Honeypie Cafe (2643 S. Kinnickinnic Ave.) took second with an extra order of brioche French toast and biscuits and sausage gravy; while Comet Cafe (1947 N. Farwell Ave.) scored third, leaving no crumbs from its chicken in a biscuit, with hash browns. A round of bloody marys for all!
