We took an Uber to the Fiesta Bowl and our driver pointed out Kiss The Cook as the best breakfast spot in Glendale. Not that I was looking, but KTC had not even been on my restaurant radar. Now, I'll be the first to criticize the Yelp community for having 400+ reviews of 'hip' breakfast joints but it's pulling teeth to get info on certain businesses or restaurants off the beaten path (generating user-content Yelpers, c'mon!) but not being aware of KTC and it's 100+ reviews is entirely on me there, friends.
There was a short wait when we showed up from estate saleing on Saturday morning but the staff was friendly and had us in shortly. I had the New Orleans Omelette and Jenny had the special with the Maple Sausage. All the food was excellent, the service was excellent, and the prices were reasonable. Not a lot of bells and whistles (the mini muffins are a wonderful touch) but KTC is an elite down home breakfast restaurant.
I can't stress enough how much every other "country kitchen" type restaurant can learn from KTC. Understated and over-performing if how I'd describe KTC. It's not the place I'll take my trendy out of town DINK friends after a night at [insert popular Scottsdale club with 600+ Yelp reviews], but it'll definitely be an upgrade for my Cracker Barrel & Denny's dining parents when they come to town.
