The full English breakfast may be the global gold standard for a hearty meal to start the day. Of course discerning breakfast eaters in countries like Australia, Turkey, and the United States would probably disagree. Jason Neroni clearly relishes eating (or serving) a hearty breakfast. He takes his sizable plate in different directions from the Brits, but the result is similarly satisfying. He serves a Neroni-Style ($17) plate at The Rose, an always bustling Venice restaurant he runs with Sprout LA restaurant group. His Neroni-Style breakfast certainly warrants signature status and does justice to his family name.

Each Neroni-Style breakfast plate at The Rose features fried skin-on market potatoes. He showers chives atop two sunny-side-up eggs with vivid yolks. They slater crusty house-baked country bread with premium butter and serves with a ramekin of seasonal jam. In this case, I enjoyed seasonal raspberry jam. Still, it’s his thick-cut juniper bacon that really makes the plate. They braise juniper-cured pork belly, cool it, slice it, bake it, and crisp it in the salamander. All that creativity and labor results in meaty, beautifully seared slabs that honor the Neroni name.
