So, I recently had the pleasure of dining at Perkins, and let me tell you, it was an experience. If you know me at all, you know how serious I take my breakfast. So, when I heard about Perkins and its range of premium breakfast options, alongside a vast menu that can take you through the day, let's just say I was intrigued.
But before I get into that, let me share a bit about Perkins' history. It was started in 1957 by Matt and Ivan Perkins, opening initially as Smithies Pancake House in Cincinnati, Ohio.
