The words “Breakfast is ready” can sometimes be more exciting than a lottery winning especially when they fall on ears connected to an empty stomach. Breakfast is the most anticipated meal of the day and this explains why all the major platforms on the Internet are flooded with breakfast photos.
To fulfill their passion and declare their love for breakfast, many have made it a job to travel all over the world for the sole purpose of tasting morning meals in different cultures (this is an enviable job by the way). Others who do not wish to travel to distant shores for breakfast tastes simply sit at the comfort of their homes and travel to those same distant lands mentally through a single bite of the distant land's morning meal. Regardless of a category, those who crave one more breakfast adventure can put on their seat belts and journey to these U.S. States which offers the best breakfast (that’s not just bacon and eggs).

5 Kentucky, United States
The fried chicken state sadly does not always begin the day with a chicken-based breakfast instead they opt-in for the lighter cheese grits.

In some cases such as when waking up from the long freezing winter nights, a breakfast of pancakes and hot coffee is preferred.
When the regular breakfast serving is not appealing enough, Kentuckians (particularly in Louisville) have the famous hot brown which works perfectly for breakfast, lunch, and even dinner. These numerous varieties of breakfast can be linked to the dynamic southern cuisine which is featured heavily in the cuisine of Kentucky. These and the fact that there’s always a crunchy chicken restaurant nearby makes Kentucky a great place to be for breakfast.
