Yes, of course, "best" is always a subjective word, and a list of the best of anything is going to cause a little controversy. However, you cannot argue that these breakfast diners aren't good. Too bad the Kentucky pick is in Paducah, all the way across the state from my town.

If you like meat with your breakfast, Gold Rush Cafe is the place to go. Their bacon cheeseburger skillet omelet and breakfast burger melts are rich and decadent, but the meatloaf omelet is truly an original. It comes with meatloaf bits, veggies, cheese, and barbecue sauce. If the thought of that much breakfast meat is giving you the sweats, try the bread pudding waffles with baked cinnamon apples on the side.

Check out the list of the best breakfast restaurants in each state at mental_floss, let us know how well they picked the best from your state, and if you've got a road trip planned, you might want to make notes on breakfast for your traveling days ahead.

Hungry for a more immersive way to enjoy the new Beauty and the Beast movie? Then you'll want to head to Hollywood's The Bazaar to check out chef José Andrés' $120 ten-course tasting menu based on the film. 

Aside from delicious treats like the “Belle of the Ball” cocktail, an Enchanted Rose, a Chocolate Beast and Chip’s Sweet Chips, diners will also gain VIP admission to see the film at the famous El Captian Theater. 

It's a great date night plan for beautys and beasts alike.

There's nothing better than a nice fresh hot cup of coffee in the morning. If you love coffee that much, you might want to try it on your toast! Or not. When people talk about coffee that's way too strong, they sometimes say it sticks to the roof of your mouth like peanut butter. That's the joke I thought of when I heard that spreadable coffee is now available in Japan.

According to Curazy, Snow Brand Milk is releasing a spreadable version of its coffee to mark the 55th anniversary of its release.

If you’ve ever had Snow Brand Milk’s Coffee, you’ll know it’s rather creamy and sweet, so it should make a good toast spread.

Ah, so it's from a milk company! The "spread" is probably mostly milk and sugar with some coffee in it for flavoring. That might not be bad at all, if you like that sort of thing. -via Boing Boing

The way fast food companies use social media to advertise has changed quite a bit over the last few years, and these days it's not uncommon to find companies like KFC trolling for laughs via Tweets.

But making up a fake food blogger just to troll the "clean eating" set has earned KFC UK & Ireland the award for "the most surreal social media campaign of 2017 (so far)".

"Clean eating fanatic" Figgy Poppleton-Rice was brought to life so she could introduce the world to the KFC "Clean Eating Burger":

Mmmm, spiralised chicken breast and the other white meat- cauliflower! Figgy's "burger" is one of the many "recipes" shared on her website, and people who randomly stumble upon Figgy's website or social media accounts may have no idea she's connected to KFC in any way.

But anyone who actually tries one of her "recipes" is gonna be in for a real treat!

We already covered what cocktails you should order based on your zodiac sign, but now you can find out what dessert you should be eating based on your birthday. Tablespoon put together the list of zodiac-based desserts, but while they all look delicious, I can't say that they're totally accurate. I know I (a Scorpio) might enjoy hot fuge icebox cake, but I know my Gemini BF would prefer something with fruit on it or even just a classic cheesecake to a chocolate cheesecake swirl bundt cake. 

So how about you guys, is your recommended dessert a winner or as off as a crummy horoscope?

It's hard for most Americans to imagine a time when there won't be enough wheat, rice or whatever with which to make flour, but should this apocalyptic scenario ever become a reality the roaches will run rampant.

And since cockroaches are the ultimate survivors just like humans we'll probably be forced to consider adding cockroaches to our daily diet.

That's why scientists Andressa Lucas and Lauren Menegon from the Federal University of Rio Grande in Brazil are working on a way to turn cockroaches into a flour that's actually better for us in some ways than wheat flour.

Their cockroach flour contains 40 percent more protein than wheat flour, and it's high in essential amino acids, lipids and fatty acids, making it a perfect fit for a balanced and healthy diet.

And while the cockroaches they used aren't the kind we see running around in the city this idea of turning insects into flour may work just as well with any other kind of insect- so they're studying whether flour can be made out of crickets and mealworms as well.

This pizza looks like it has a lot of toppings on it. What kind of pizza could it be? If you thought fish pizza was bad, take a look at this.

Peas and mayonnaise pizza?! Yes please pic.twitter.com/PQK1TyYrCH

I have to wonder if Air-ic was trying to be funny, or if he really ordered this. And ate it. You do not want to go to Twitter and see the images posted in response to this Tweet. People wanted to make it clear that they felt sick at the thought of pizza with peas and mayonnaise. -Thanks, John Farrier!

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson adheres to a strict diet in order to maintain his incredible physique, that means eating less carbs, lots of lean proteins and healthy greens.

But Dwayne is known to devour whole pizzas, dozens of donuts and stacks of pancakes on his cheat days, so he's still a foodie at heart.

And he's spent plenty of time in Los Angeles since he started acting in the late 90s, so it's surprising that he only recently rolled through In-N-Out for the first time.

I've never been to IN-N-OUT before (I know, what an asshole;), but when my lovely ladies @laurenhashianofficial & @simonegjohnson wanted late night grub, I happily obliged and pulled in the drive thru. Seriously, the most excited and suuuuuper nice fans ever. Thanks Victor (manager pictured here) and staff for being so cool. You made my ladies very happy with the burgers, fries and shakes and that's what it's all about. If our Moana wins the Oscar this Sunday, I will return - in my tux and completely destroy multiple burgers and fries to celebrate. I'm talkin' about takin' cheat meal to another level. Thanks guys for being so cool. And for the free ketchup. #InNOut #NewestAndBiggestFan #Literally

Dwayne took this selfie with the excited In-N-Out employees who introduced him to burger heaven, and now I see some epic In-N-Out based cheat days in Dwayne's future!

Have you ever opened up a pack of bacon only to find it looking a bit too green for your liking? Green bacon seems gross and inedible, since we most commonly associate green with mold and spoiled food, but the green in bacon is no big deal.

It's called nitrite burn, and it's caused when the preservative nitrite reacts with the blood protein myoglobin, causing the red pigment in the blood to turn green.

Bacon has a distinctly awful smell when it spoils, so trust your nose and you'll know when your green bacon has actually gone bad and when it's just feelin' the (nitrite) burn.

Samoa cupcakes? Thin Mint cheesecake? Yes please! And these are only a few of the amazing-looking desserts made with Girl Scout cookies that our own Miss C rounded up for this great Mental Floss article.

While many of the treats are what you'd expect -like the cupcake or cheesecake, a few of them are really creative. The chocolate peanut butterfly above uses Tagalongs and looks like a work of art. But the strangest creation on the list might just be the Girl Scout lemonade ricotta gnocchi.

How many of these brilliant creations would you eat? 

When I started drinking liquor I was told by the supposed old hands of the whiskey world that the only difference between whisky and whiskey was the letter "E", but the truth runs much deeper.

The spelling actually reveals where the liquor was made- if it's spelled with an "E" then it was made in Ireland or the U.S., if it's spelled without an "E" then it was made in Canada, Japan or Scotland.

So if country of origin is important to you then check the spelling, but if you're just trying to bend your elbow with a bit of brown then forget about the spelling and drink up, because it's all good!

Believe it or not, there's a waffle under all that candy and icing. It looks like some restaurant is offering this, and unchained-lion, who posted the pic, mentioned that besides the Twix waffle, they also have KitKat and Kinder waffles. John Farrier called it a "balanced breakfast." Don't eat that, John! -via reddit

McDonald's has always tried to personalize the experience of dining at their restaurants in every way possible, from the (formerly clowny) decor to the food packaging to the little golden arches on every napkin.

They even have the largest drinking straws in the fast food biz, which some people feel are partly responsible for the rise of obesity in America, and now McDonald's is about to make history again with their new S.T.R.A.W.

It stands for Suction Tube for Reverse Axial Withdrawal, and it's the most over-engineered straw ever created, made to optimize consumption of McDonald's new half-mint half-chocolate shake.

Since no-one wants their chocolate to mint ratio to be compromised by poor technology, mcdonald’s turned to two highly-qualified engineering firms, JACE and NK labs to create the STRAW.

The STRAW is a J-shaped, snorkel-like vessel that provides optimal flavor flow dynamics. the tube has side openings to suck in both layers at once, and is engineered to work just as well at the bottom of the shake as it did at the top.

The fact that McDonald's hired two engineering firms to create a new milkshake straw may seem a bit crazy, but if you're a fan of milkshakes you know you wanna try one!

We've posted a lot of crazy donuts in the past, but we've never seen them with a shot of alcohol inside. You can get a hold of these boozy, sweet treats at Denver's Habit Doughnut Dispensary and you can choose any liqour inside including rum, whiskey and vodka. Popular combinations include the Plain Jane and Blazed infused with Fireball, the new French Toast with whiskey, the Carbon (chocolate and espresso) with Kahlua, and the signature Habit Jumbleberry with vodka.

The alcohol comes in a pipette shoved in the donut so you can inject it into your mouth directly or eat a drippy, bite of booze-filled donuts. Adding a shot to your donut only costs $2, or $24 for a dozen.

See more pictures of the awesome donut combos on Thrillist.

Pizza is pretty universal, but it varies from place to place. People will argue all day about pineapple pizza, which was developed not in Hawaii, but in Canada, which caused a small kerfuffle in that nation when President Guðni Jóhannesson of Iceland dissed pineapple pizza.

President Guoni Johannesson recently told a group of high school students during a Q&A that he was fundamentally opposed to pineapple on pizza — and that's not all. He went on to say if he could, he would ban pineapple as a pizza topping.

Johannesson clearly did not know his opinion would offend or even make the news. He responded on Facebook.

I like pineapples, just not on pizza. I do not have the power to make laws which forbid people to put pineapples on their pizza. I am glad that I do not hold such power. Presidents should not have unlimited power. I would not want to hold this position if I could pass laws forbidding that which I don´t like. I would not want to live in such a country. For pizzas, I recommend seafood.

Seafood? It's not all that uncommon on European pizzas, although it was pointed out that "fiskmeti" should have been translated as "fish" instead of seafood. Fish pizza? Like anchovies? Everyone has their own tastes. In Sweden, they use all kinds of fruit and other pizza toppings an American wouldn't consider. -via Metafilter
