Polly's Pancake Parlor is all about hot takes on hotcakes, and America approves
Winner of the 2006 James Beard Award in the American Classics category
Polly's is authentic New Hampshire, as it's been serving Sugar Hill residents for 80 years
The difference between an ordinary flapjack and Polly's fluffy version lies in the carefully sourced ingredients. Polly's only uses organically grown buckwheat
whole wheat, and cornmeal, which they grind in-house. By processing their own flour
their unique batter forms a pancake like no other. Diners can choose their own house-made batter and
add-ins to create a variety of pancakes and waffles, all of which are served with New
Hampshire maple syrup. And as if the pancakes aren't enough, the restaurant sits cliffside
with a gorgeous mountain view so that you can savor the magnificent
rustic overlook while eating some of the best griddle cakes imaginable. "'Holly's is special because it's been around forever, but they don't take it for granted.'

restaurant bargains by Food & Wine magazine, Mother's Bistro has quickly spread the love
of breakfast around Portland, Oregon. And for the locals, it's basically a taste of home sweet home
I'm here to feed all of Portland. As you enter, you'll notice the comfortable, homey decor that's a far cry from the trendy
sterile white tile of many modern eateries. Mothers loves deep velvets, baroque floral prints
soft lighting, and lots and lots of chandeliers. And that's all a compliment to the savory
slow-roasted meals on the menu. Try their slow-cooked oatmeal with brown sugar and cream

Café du Monde after a long night on Bourbon Street, then you've missed out on one of the
city's signature experiences. Around 11 a.m., the ground is covered in powdered sugar, so thick it's
like a Christmas miracle. But it's no miracle how Café du Monde has endured since 1862

simplicity, Café du Monde keeps a tight menu. You choose among a dark, roasted chicory coffee
black or olé, meaning with milk, fresh-squeezed orange juice, or beignets. It's that easy in the

sugar and explode in little puffs with each bite. After dusting this historical landmark in sweet
residue, patrons can browse around the French market, sipping coffee and enjoying the beauty
of the city. Café du Monde is more than one of America's best breakfasts. It's one of
the best experiences. This comes with probably more powdered sugar than dough, which is perfectly okay
