Reviews

"Biscuits, grits, and migas all appear in this ode to great restaurant morning meals."Entertainment Weekly

"I made the mistake of reading America's Best Breakfasts early one morning. The temptation was to board the subway and go straight to Russ & Daughters Cafe on Orchard Street. The book includes their recipe for potato latkes along with an appetizing photograph of the crisp latkes together with small bowl of pink salmon caviar pearls and creme fraiche. Indeed, I'm growing despondent with hunger just writing about the dish."Ralph Gardner, Jr., TheWall Street Journal
