Onion rings for breakfast? Alison Cook says go for it at Annie's
See MoreThey were steamy-hot, made in a style I’d call Modified Funnel Cake, which is to say that their cladding was a bit puffed and the merest trace cakelike under the crisp exteriors. They came in every size, squat and fat, long and gangly, as if cut by human hand. They were thick enough for their sweet allium flavor to shine through the downy batter.
This is one of the best deals in town, I thought as I stared at the remains of my $3.50 order. I nibbled at my cheeseburger before remembering that Annie’s version had never been my thing, with its dense, almost flexible thin patty griddled to distraction. I didn’t care. The rings were the breakfast I didn’t know I craved. There are so many dismal, manufactured ones these days that finding the real deal feels like striking gold.
Then I tweeted a photo of my onion rings, asking if anyone could identify the source and bracing for a torrent of “How could you breakfast on something so unhealthy” replies. Instead came an outpouring of fond nostalgia and not a single “So early? Yuck.” Hundreds of people chimed in with guesses and favorite onion rings that I — a shameless o-ring hound — had never even considered.
