Best of Metromix Detroit 2013Breakfast Joint
Morning, noon or night, they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. We believe a productive day begins (or ends) with a party in your belly, preferably gourmet style with a unique and creative twist on classics like French toast, omelets, pancakes and more. And hash (browns), man - can't forget them. If you think we left out a deserving nominee, let us hear about it!
And the winner is…
