Y

ou could say that the tale of how Another 

Broken Egg came to be in Pensacola is a 

story of love at first bite…Quite literally, 

in fact, as it was the experience of dining at 

the Destin location that led Homer and Linda Biggers 

to research the possibility of buying their own piece of 

the successful breakfast/lunch franchise. Despite the 

fact that neither of them had had any prior experience 

in the industry, the Biggers had fallen in love with the 

restaurant and its menu of delicious breakfast, brunch, 

and lunch offerings; and after learning that a Pensacola 

location was available, the couple knew that their 

journey to becoming restaurateurs was about 

to begin.

After scouting for locations throughout 

Pensacola led them to a prime spot in 

the thick of things on Gregory Street, 

Another Broken Egg welcomed its 

fi rst guests in January 2012, quickly 

drawing a loyal following of diners 

who kept its tables fi lled and its 

dining room a fl urry of activity. 

And with good reason, as the 

menu is certainly one deserving 

of note, offering everything 

one might imagine for the 

perfect breakfast experience. 

Originally serving its fi rst dishes from a converted old 

farmhouse in Mandeville, Louisiana, back in 1996, Another 

Broken Egg’s initial concept focused on fresh-to-order 

New Orleans-inspired omelets and egg scrambles. Later 

expansions to the menu incorporated that same Cajun 

infl uence in each recipe, creating a following so great that 

the once humble little restaurant became a franchised brand 

with 68 locations across the United States. 

“What has made this company so successful is its concept, 

but our restaurant really embodies what the core of the 

company is all about: Making fantastic food and treating 

our customers with the greatest hospitality that they can 

fi nd anywhere,” says Linda, a former Registered Nurse who 

served in the operating rooms at both Andrews Institute and 

Baptist Hospital in Gulf Breeze. “We’re really dedicated 

to providing a great experience for our guests in everything 

that we do,” agrees Homer, a licensed engineer and former 

general contractor.

There are, of course, the traditional takes on pancakes, 

waffl es, omelets, and French toast…But Another Broken 

Egg breaks out of its shell with far more creative versions, 

as well, tempting breakfast lovers to fi nd new favorites that 

they can’t get anywhere else. Serving up the fl avors of the 

Sunshine state, the Floridian Omelette fi lls a fl uffy omelet 

with cream cheese and tops it all off with succulent crabmeat 

sautéed in garlic, green onions, and melted Monterey Jack 

cheese. If you want to let the Good Times Roll, you’ll love 

Stan’s Mardi Gras Omelette, a twist on the classic fi lled with 

Louisiana crawfi sh, plump Gulf shrimp, spicy Andouille 

sausage, and diced red peppers topped with a rich and 

creamy tomato hollandaise, diced tomatoes, and green 

onions. 

From Bananas Foster and Peach Cobbler Pancakes to 

Cinnamon Roll French Toast, breakfast is certainly a meal 

not to be missed at Another Broken Egg. And while their 

morning-hour delights are their claim to fame, lunchtime is 

hardly overlooked, as this midday repast is given a chance to 

shine in salads, burgers, and sandwiches, offering signatures 

like the Low Country Mushroom Burger, Nellies Chicken 

Sandwich, and the B.L.A.S.T.   

Making everything from sauces, butters, guacamole, and 

salsas to granola and even sausage from scratch in house, 

Sunny Side Success
