Best breakfast in Riverside/Avondale?

[Jaxson]

I don't think it's to dump inventory.  How many eggs and hollandaise does a restaurant need to get rid of after a busy week?  Inventory dumping - that's what nightly specials are for.

I guess I'm just not a big fan.  If you want bottomless drinks, then hit up the nearest college bar on a friday night. 

It's not about the eggs and condiments.  Fresh fish comes in each week.  So other perishables that have to go one way or another.  The restaurants are able to dress up some crab meat that they need to get rid of and call it something nice like crab cake Benedict...

As for getting trashed, you sound like a Baptist.  Perhaps there are some people who imbibe because they like to relax with a drink or two, not because they are about to go mud bogging and need to numb their nerves with PBR...  There is nothing wrong, in my opinion, about giving a nice deal during this recession...  LOL!

One of my coworkers moved back here from Austin, TX last year.  She raves about 'breakfast tacos' that were a huge hit and ubiquitous among Austin breakfast providers.  Apparently they had eggs, skillet potatoes, beans, chorizo, cilantro, cheese, and salsa on the side.  They sound delicious, and I can see them being successful here. 

Is there anywhere that already offers this on their breakfast menu??

Biscottis would be the closest thing that I know of.

I might take my date with me for breakfast in Springfield! A great start for the day... starting at Springfield.

Ok, so I've been obsessing about Breakfast Tacos for the past hour.  My search has made me incredibly hungry.  One article I came across was from Fine Austin Living.  Read the paragraphs below

In Austin, there’s a cultural phenomenon surrounding the perfect breakfast taco.  You know, those tortillas stuffed with eggs, and your choice of additional ingredients such as meats, cheeses, beans and other vegetables, potatoes, salsas and other taste-bud tantalizers.  Rarely will two people agree on the same ingredients or even the same restaurant!

To whet your appetite, or to fuel your GPS, we’ve compiled a list of some of our favorites around town, and invite you to send us YOUR favorites…and we’ll add them to a list.  This is one of the many Fine things we like to give relocating buyers who are coming to Austin, to help them get acquainted with our Fine city, and the many wonderful eating establishments we have.

This is the kind of things we need to do in Jax.  So many of the things in Jax go uncelebrated and even unnoticed.  We have a number of great things here, but 70% of the city doesn't know they exist.

I'd like to open one of these on King Street or in the Avondale Strip.

It's not about the eggs and condiments.  Fresh fish comes in each week.

Ehh, if you're only getting a fresh fish delivery once a week, you either need to stop serving fish or stop ordering so much at one time!  Every purveyor I know delivers every day of the week except Sunday, so if you know what you're doing and you order appropriately, you're serving Saturday's delivery on Sunday...

The Fox used to make a wonderful southwest omelet.

They could do the ESPN thing, but then one should always monitor news and propaganda from opposing sources.

JMHO

Every time I have been it it has been ESPN

The Fox used to make a wonderful southwest omelet.

The Fox used to make a lot of great stuff, before the current owner bought it and it got all weird. They cut the menu down to 1 page, took most of the cool stuff off the walls, painted over the 1960s wood paneling (that made the place!) and now you get a heapin' helpin' of snotty attitude and right-wing politics with your eggs. I don't go there anymore, which seems fine, since they are always packed without me.

Anybody remember The Affair breakfast sandwich? Yum...

[Jaxson]

I don't know about everyone else, but The Fox has been nice to me.  I usually see the owner walking around and bantering with the customers.  He asks about how they are enjoying their meals and asks if they need a refill. 
I do agree that some 'popular' establishments end up leaving their staff with big heads about themselves, though.  The wait staff often act like they don't need to be bothered with stupid crap like customer service because "there are ten customers ready to come in take that table."

I never get into politics but Ian at the Fox is soooo far left he is off the map. I love the outsider art. That stuff is worth some money if you know the market.
The old Fox was unbearable to watch the short order cook eat off the grill, smoke his cigarette that was hangin' off the prep table, wipe his hands on his dirty jeans and then that hand went straight to the hash browns to be used as a spatula to get it to the plate - no kidding.
