Houston has plenty of places for terrific rise-and-shine breakfast dishes. But a Bellaire restaurant is making a syrup-drenched play for the best breakfast in America.

Dandelion Café, a family-owned restaurant at 5405 Bellaire, won a shot at "Good Morning America’s" “United States of Breakfast” competition during a Monday morning Houston showdown against The Breakfast Klub, the famous Midtown restaurant. 

Televised live on ABC from Saint Arnold Brewing Co., the competition pitted the two restaurants in a chicken and waffles battle judged by Food Network star Eddie Jackson (of Cypress), ABC-13 anchor Erica Simon and former Texans football player Owen Daniels.

Both restaurants are known for their takes on chicken and waffles. But in a 2-to-1 vote, Dandelion came out the victor with its crispy cornbread waffle topped with buttermilk-brined chicken thighs slathered in a spicy maple butter and drizzled with maple syrup. Dandelion’s dish bested The Breakfast Klub’s legendary fluffy waffles crowned with 23-hour marinated fried chicken wings.

Dandelion Café, founded in 2016, is owned by chef JC Ricks and Sarah Lieberman, who now will go on to New York to compete against three other cities for the title of Best Breakfast in America, which comes with a $10,000 prize. The ABC morning show continues the breakfast challenge this week with the finals set for June 30 in New York City.

GMA’s return to Houston comes after last summer’s showdown, when rapper Bun B’s Trill Burgers was pitted against Diane and Willet Feng’s Burger-chan in its “United States of Burgers” competition. Trill won the title of Best Burger in America.
