We’re 10 months into quarantine. We’ve made it through the summer. We handed out candy through a chute for Halloween. We somehow figured out how to make our own Thanksgiving dinner and survived a socially distanced Santa season.

Now it is January. It is winter. It is cold. We’ve watched all of the best things on Netflix. We’ve watched mediocre stuff on Netflix. (And we’ve made it through election day and an inauguration.)

There is one meal that can change your whole day… breakfast. To help you find joy in breakfast, here are some of our best bets for breakfast in the ‘Burgh.
