I love this book! It is just fun to read even if you aren't looking for a breakfast place. Paul Gerald is hilarious! I actually have read parts of it out loud to others and we just crack up. On a more utilitarian note, often on the weekends my husband and I meet friends for breakfast or brunch and are left trying to figure out where to go. Although we have some regular favorites, we like to try new places, or we want to find a place in a certain area of town. This book helps us find a restaurant in the geographical location we want to go and lets us know what to expect when we get there. He doesn't pull punches and gives a thorough review including the cost, the food, the wait staff, the decor, and general ambiance. Another thing I like about the book is the way it is organized. You can find a restaurant by type, by location, or alphabetically. Very convenient and easy to use. I actually keep a copy of the book in my car. Enjoy!
