do they glow?

Breakfasts.....I can remember driving my brother from Memphis to Utah for his freshman year of college. We stopped all along the way to sample biscuits and cream gravy usually at diner/truck stops. The good ones usually had a fair number of cars outside....must have eaten at 10 or so.....the rest of my family has (for the most part) patiently tolerated that food fetish for years....for goodness sakes who in their right mind makes bagels or can spend all day poking through grocery stores or markets or bopping through various restaurants ordering way more food than one person can consume, tasting and leaving it to move on to the next place......

Breakfast can be so great with just good ingredients. Nothing fancy cooked eggs, breakfast meats, breads, potatoes (grits), waffle/pancakes, fruit.....
why then do restauranteurs shy away breakfast.....most say they can't make money. Marigold in Madison WS does.....Letoile has cold offerings for breakfast....Baton Rouge has several breakfast places....shoot Cafe du monde, coffee beignets and milk....
I'm shaking my head wondering why a city the size of STL has no decent breakfast place. ugh, if I weren't so adverse to opening a restaurant I'd do it myself....

ok....fast food breakfast....what's with the blueberry biscuit at Hardees or the cinnamon sugar thing at McD....I never quite got the french toast fried fingers at Burger King.....looks like their competing with donuts. Anyone tried these? Blintz's really not too far off that train of products.
