No. 60: Breakfast in a Pot from Tom Sawyer Restaurant and Pastry Shop
Sure, the 25 year-old breakfast and lunch joint also serves up the traditional eggs Benedict that's worthy of some Saturday morning attention. They also offer a croissant French toast topped with powdered sugar that reviewers on Yelp even admit to traveling across the state to chow down on. But it's the homemade jumbo biscuits with a brush of butter, doused in sausage gravy and topped with a 4-egg omelet and cheese inside of a small pot that weighs 1.5 pounds. Unless you're a growing teenager or a professional fighter, finishing the pot is damn near impossible. Either split with a friend or plan on bringing it home for a second round later. Nine dollars worth of breakfast is well worth the portions of two meals.
