This week we went in the kitchen at the Broken Egg with owner Dawn Hair and chef Marco Estrada while he prepares Don's Fiesta Skillet, a Mexican-inspired breakfast medley with chorizo and peppers, served over a bed of the restaurant's Cheesy Potato Casserole.

Family-owned and operated, the Broken Egg has been a breakfast, lunch and cocktail tradition since 1985.

The Broken Egg, which has a patio suited with a tropical feel, walls adorned with beautiful artwork by local and internationally renowned artists, is open from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. every day.
