Food Network magazine just crowned King's Chef Diner in Colorado Springs with the best breakfast in Colorado award in its July/August cover story touting the best breakfasts in the country.

It wasn't "The Thing" (The Food Network recently featured "The Thing" in its Outrageous Food show) or "The Grump" -- the mountainous, perennial favorites and super attention-getters on the menu at King's Chef -- that sealed the deal. It was the much more plain-Jane sounding breakfast burrito.

Though it pales before the mound of ingredients in "The Thing" and "The Grump," the $7.95 burrito is nothing to shake a stick at. It comes with two scrambled eggs, sausage, grilled onions and hash browns topped with green chile or country gravy and shredded cheese.
