MSN – Breakfast is widely considered the most important meal of the day, but breakfast food itself is actually a relatively new concept. In fact, traditional breakfast foods in the United States didn’t come about until the mid- to late 1800s. Instead, people would eat leftovers or meat and fish for their morning meal.
Today, breakfast delicacies span the globe, and special Sunday breakfasts or brunches have become a staple in many households. For those who don’t want to eat in, there are plenty of local options from pancakes drenched in syrup to fluffy scrambled eggs paired with steaming cups of freshly brewed coffee.
Stacker has compiled a list of the most popular breakfast spot in every state using data from Foursquare. Foursquare’s algorithm, which gives restaurants a rating out of ten points, predicts the “best” restaurant or establishment by incorporating check-ins, rating signals, category matches, tips, and photo trends to determine the top-ranked restaurant in each state.
Regardless of the rating or popularity, some of the breakfast institutions included in this list have large cult followings and are definitely worth the long wait. Read on to find out the best breakfast spot in your state.
