The most maligned meal has to be breakfast.
For many years, so-called experts have claimed it's the most “important meal of the day,” but for me, that importance is usually marked by a quick, nutritional breakfast shake that holds me over until lunch – the meal that I personally believe to be the most important meal of the day.
But, I am now trying more breakfast meals and kind of dig the brawny gruff morning vibes they deliver, so I thought I'd stop by Sunnyside Diner – located on the edge of downtown at 916 NW 6th St. – and see what they have to offer.
Even though it was damp and gray outside when I stopped by last Friday, the crowd inside was pretty palpable, omitting feel-good breakfast vibes and soothing background chatter. The cheery Sunnyside mural on the back wall gave the place a post-modern feel, basking the eatery in a new-wave retro aesthetic.
With my steady ladyfriend in tow, we shook off the raindrops and grabbed some seats near the counter. After being delivered a steaming cup of jolting coffee—my main drug of choice—we placed our orders.
