fat stacked ricotta hotcakes with bacon ice cream from Cowbell 808, Surry Hills
There are more truths to life than death and taxes. For me, for example, other truths include the fact that:
- Breakfast is unequivocally the best meal of the day;
- People keep asking me for breakfast recommendations in Sydney-town; and
- Instagram has single-handedly reduced my blogging by 50%.
Fact, fact and more fact. So without further adieu, sit back and soak up the breakfast food p0rn that is about to besiege your eyes (all taken with instagram, of course). These are some of Sydney’s best breakfasts.
