Pancakes and waffles, sausage and bacon, eggs and potatoes — breakfast foods are the best! But unfortunately, the most important meal of the day often plays second string to the “snooze” button on our phones, and we end up eating a ho-hum microwave burrito or sorry smoothie on our way out the door. Banish boring breakfasts with a visit to Josie’s, a down-home restaurant in Kentucky that dishes up the best and most epic breakfast plates in the state.

Josie's is a good, old-fashioned neighborhood restaurant; it's the kind of place that's getting harder and harder to find.

There's nearly always a line on the weekend, but folks don't mind, because the food is worth waiting for!

Josie's is best-known for the Chevy Chase Special: two eggs; bacon, sausage, or goetta; fried potatoes or cheesy grit casserole, a biscuit, and sausage gravy.
