Last week, in YES! Weekly, we took you on a little wee sized food crawl through one of the most iconic and adorable neighborhoods in Greensboro that is oh #sogso!
READ HERE why we love Lindley Park. Especially eating there, because…well because of ALL of it.
This is my idea of eating healthy at Emma Key’s. Stan’s Salad with Organic Greens, Two Cheddar Cheese Angus Steak Burgers, Tomatoes, Pimento Cheese, Grilled Onions, Tabasco Ketchup
September is National Breakfast Month. And two of the Triad’s most beloved chefs will represent their cities in Thomas’ Breads Hometown Breakfast Battle. This isn’t necessarily a “local” purveyor of goods, but it’s fun and a way for you to support our local chefs. Let’s get all the nooks and crannies, shall we?
Greensboro Chef Chris Blackburn from Scrambled and Winston-Salem Chef John Bobby from A Noble Grille (yes, that’s the right new name) will represent their towns in Hometown Breakfast Battle – a national chef recipe competition featuring 135 chefs from 135 cities across the country who will battle it out to create America’s best breakfast in honor of the 135th Anniversary of the Thomas’ brand.
Chef Chris Blackburn Chef John Bobby
Each chef has created one locally inspired recipe using a variety of Thomas’ iconic English Muffins and Bagels and added some local flair to breakfast – the most important meal of the day. Chef Chris Blackburn’s take is a Brown Butter Charred Thomas’ English Muffin Sandwich,
while Chef John Bobby created the Cheezy McSqueezy.
Go check out their dishes and the recipe and get recipes from all over the country to make your breakfast something special.
Beginning TODAY, September 14, YOU, foodies, will have just two weeks to vote online at ThomasBreakfastBattle.com to ensure your (OUR) favorite chef makes it into the next round of competition that narrows the pool from 135 to the top 16!
You can vote every day, but only 16 will advance.
So check them out, visit ThomasBreakfastBattle.com and vote for your favorite.

Oh, foodies…how my heart was broken after my beloved Josephine’s Kitchen stopped dinner service earlier this summer. Gracious, what a bummer. But when Chef Chris Blackburn and his partner, Sarah Keith, announced a “new beginning,” well, we knew that what they had up their jacket sleeves would probably be pretty fantastic.
So after a couple months of waiting, Scrambled Southern Diner is open. It’s breakfast and brunch all day—they took beginning and made it literal. But, they have lunch and blue plate specials too. I joke that they’ve closed one of my favorite restaurants to serve my least favorite meal ….breakfast (yeah, I know I’m a weirdo).
Read here about what’s in store for this new eatery. It’s already pretty popular. And they even please me, the foodie who couldn’t care less about breakfast. 🙂
When you check it out, let us know what you think!
