24 Carrots 1701 East Guadalupe Road, Tempe The “botanically inspired cuisine” at 24 Carrots encompasses an all-day menu, but the restaurant’s breakfast items are among its heartiest dishes. Think biscuits and gravy, breakfast burritos bursting with tofu and veggies, and hefty carrot cake pancakes, washed down with one of 24 Carrots’ many juice and coffee options, including a spritely beet goji latte and iced strawberry matcha crème.
Sweet Desert Café 715 West Baseline Road, #2, Tempe At Sweet Desert Café, waffles, pancakes, and French toast all get their own, lengthy menus. There are five kinds of waffles, most notably a mango and coconut waffle. French toast and pancakes can be topped with just about any fruit you can imagine. The breakfast “classics” menu includes all manner of egg-based dishes including chilaquiles and three varieties of Benedicts. The coffee menu is also broad, offering everything from Americanos to macchiatos.
Once upon a time, John Cleese asked: “If God did not intend for us to eat animals, why did he make them out of meat?” Which of course, implies a belief in the heavenly father if you were to use this to make a point. Denis Leary kept it broad with “Not eating meat is a decision. Eating meat is an instinct” – one of his tamer quotes on the matter, even when taking satire into consideration, and Leary has never shied away from being confrontational and controversial – while the ever-opinionated Fran Lebowitz said, “Vegetables are interesting but lack a sense of purpose when unaccompanied by a good cut of meat.”
