Is there anything better than finding an excuse to not cook? Luckily for Minnesotans, we live in a state where there are endless excuses in all of the delicious restaurants scattered throughout the state. You can find a magnificent meal any moment of the day.

But we think it’s especially fun to go out for breakfast. Next time you want to skip the prep – and the cleanup – of a morning meal, head out to one of Minnesota’s best breakfasts at Egg and I. This old-school joint is popular for a reason, and it’ll quickly become one of your new favorite spots. Take a look:
