What’s the best thing about the gig economy and the death of rigid office hours? It could be the rise of breakfast. We used to celebrate the morning meal mainly on weekends.

Counter sitting—a staple of dining culture two or three generations ago—has come back, though the leisurely brunch lives on: We’re still burrowing into a comfy booth for three hours of cakes and eggs (and bloodies) on a Sunday Funday. So wake up: There’s never been a better time for breakfast in the Twin Cities.
