The Breakfast Week Champion
:format(webp):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/6071587/bagelsaurus_t-rex_2.0.jpg)
During Breakfast Week 2016, a bracket-style reader poll determined the best breakfast/brunch dish in town. The winner? The T-rex at Bagelsaurus, located near Cambridge's Porter Square. It's a bagel sandwich with banana, house-made almond butter, and optional bacon.
