A bountiful breakfast

By F.C. FOODIE

For many people on the run, breakfast consists of a cup of coffee and a power bar on the way to work.

But experts say it's the most important meal of the day and we need to have a hearty breakfast to deal with the stresses of everday life.

If you've got a little more time, there are plenty of venues in the county that offer quick breakfasts for time-challenged folks.

Here are some of Fayette's breakfast options:

Quick taste of the South Chick-fil-A in Peachtree City and Fayetteville. The best biscuits that your mama didn't cook. A short trip through the drive-through and you can put some South in your mouth.

Quick generic food - McDonald's or your favorite gas station. Both the fast food giant and several gas stations serve their versions of biscuits which will satisfy that hunger on a moment's notice.

If you've got a little more time, try these places.

Shadows in Peachtree City serves a killer weekend brunch and it's a nice space to while away a Sunday morning.

Starbucks and the Atlanta Bread Company offer a small touch of Europe. Fresh pastries and strong coffee lead to good conversation.

The Original Pancake House in Peachtree City. This is a wonderful place to linger over a freshly made omelette or a stack of steaming blueberry pancakes.

Finally, there's the always popular duo of breakfast joints for many people in the county:

Waffle House - a Georgia tradition for many years. Scattered, smothered and covered ... oh my!

International House of Pancakes - Pancakes, omelettes and much more.

With all these choices, breakfast can be a viable option for everybody.
