Best moment of Zen

Zen Breakfast at Orphan Breakfast House

With all due respect to the folks at The Daily Show With Jon Stewart, our favorite moment of Zen has less to do with rib-tickling irony than it does rib-sticking goodness. Which is what makes Orphan’s Zen Breakfast such a soul-centering experience. Plated with simmering egg whites, steamed spinach, sticky brown rice and tofu grilled in Orphan’s signature ginger-soy sauce, this hearty, flavorful dish is a testament to the homey establishment’s commitment to everyday mindfulness. Pair your meal with a cup of the restaurant’s intense Brazil Cerrado java, and you’ll leave this East Sacramento satellite cafe feeling like Caine from Kung Fu: calm, focused and ready for your next adventure. 3440 C Street, (916) 442-7370, wwww.orphanbreakfast.com.
