Best Breakfast in Louisville

Inspired by Esquire's article on the Best Breakfasts in America and my recent dilemma of being starving (and lazy) on Saturday at brunch, I bring you the Best Breakfasts in Louisville... Because sometimes the breakfast of champions is better served with a side of champagne.

 
Lynn's Paradise Cafe in the Highlands is my absolute favorite.  Their quirky decor starts conversation but their food shuts you up!  Lynn's serves breakfast all day long-- a must have in your repertoire of eateries.
What to eat: Kenny's Kentucky Scramble, Lynn's Bourbon French Toast

Toast on Market has moved...down the street on Market.  Don't let the name fool you-- it's not as plain as it sounds.  You'll love the delicious take on the classics and their very hospitable service.  Go for the food, stay for the free wifi.
What to eat: anything but toast

Wild Eggs was the first place I ever ate in Louisville.  I stopped here to have breakfast with a friend before my job interview and filled up on a hearty breakfast of eggs and hash browns.  Voted the "best omelet in Louisville" by Louisville magazine in 2011, it's the best "foggy morning" place to eat because the classic grub is cheap and plentiful.  With multiple locations in St Matthews, Westport, and Landis Lakes, you're bound to roll out of bed close to one.
What to eat: eggs of course, but don't forget The King Would Eat These PB&chocolate pancakes, and cream cheese stuffed french toast topped with summer berries, 

Hillbilly Tea has less to offer coffee drinkers, but for the bean-challenged, it's a great little spot downtown.  The menu is certainly off the beaten path but the Southern decor will make you feel right at home.  The only thing it's missing is your mama.
What to eat: hillbilly nola

Wagner's Pharmacy on 4th Street is synonymous with Derby since this 90 year old coffee shop used to be a pit stop for horsemen until they spread the trough wide enough to fit in the out-of-townies looking to capture Derby lifestyle at its finest.
What to eat: ham and eggs, a side of tomatoes, and a glass of malted milk.
