the mock-up.

Details just published a list of the best breakfast places in America. Dubious. Breakfast is such a distinctly wonderful meal that it's pretty hard to screw up; just make buttermilk pancakes, eggs cooked in bacon lard and some vaguely original kind of hash and suddenly you're a four-star breakfast destination.

I'm pleased, though, that I've been to two places on the list. (Hint: one of them is not Charlie's, which I honestly had never heard of before today.) Still, I can't imagine that any of these joints makes a significantly better breakfast than The Neighborhood -- and I'm positive none of them give you a steaming bowl of Cream of Wheat the minute you sit down.

Mmmmmm. Breakfast.
