    Yeah 6 a.m. seems a bit drastic. Can anyone suggest a Pasadena local mom and pops style place to get some good breakfast? I have never been to Pasadena before. Thanks.

    In-n-Out. A staple among the California burger joints. If you are coming in from out of town, I highly suggest going here to get a burger. Many locations throughout California.

    That's all I can think of right now. I have been to all of these places and recommend each one. IF you are looking for a place to just get drinks, I can suggest quite a few drinking places as well.

    Not to start a food war but 888 is average at best when it comes to dim sum. Great for dinner though, especially if you want to suck the eggs out of the guts of giant prawn.

    Bakery...it has to be Sweet Lady janes. Nothing compares. But you will be treated with genaral rudeness.

    Re: Designer Con..

    I guess I don't know my dim sum. I also like New Capital dim sum, if that tells you anything. I just don't like spending too much money on dim sum since we usually get tons of food. Also a couple friends I goto dim sum with are pretty frugal.

    Re: Designer Con..

    Ahh cool, seriously get to Elite some day. Last Christmas was only $100 for 8 people. Thing about Elite is all dim sum is made to order. It doesn't come around on cart getting cold or soaking up the bunsen burner as an after taste. Of the 13 differnet Dim Sum spots I have hit repeatedly Elite always shines best.

    And I love cheap too. Give me a drive through fish burrito at Roberto's and I'm in heaven.
