"Almeraz loves Breakfast Bar not only because she used to work there, but also for the restaurant’s owners, who have served as mentors. She feels that their cocktail program is great for breakfast, especially when paired with one of their signature Bloody Marys, such as “The Queen Mary.” “Josh Beadel is such a great bartender, and he puts a lot of passion into his craft,” she says. Josh and his wife Pamela also serve dishes like pork-belly skewers and shrimp bruschetta." - danielle bauter
