Why Bozeman Is The Best Place For Comfort Food In Montana

Montana is known for lots of things. It's history, it's scenery, it's National parks, and it's adventure.

However, there is more to Montana than just that. Not only do we offer all of the outdoor adventure, but we also offer some culinary adventure. You wouldn't think that a state with more cows than people would have so many amazing places to dine, but here in Big Sky Country, we take our food seriously.

We've chatted a lot about the different types of places you will find here in Montana. From mom-and-pop diners to 5-Star cuisine prepared by world-class chefs, here's my take: I love good food, and it doesn't matter where it came from. So, if it's barbecue from a food truck or a steak with fine china and multiple forks, I'm all about it.

Having said that, let's talk comfort food.

When you think of Montana comfort food, what comes to mind? Is it beef? Bison? Elk? Vinison? Is it something with huckleberries or Flathead cherries? How about a pork chop sandwich or a pasty? For me, it's breakfast.

I'm a huge breakfast fan. I'm one of those folks who can eat breakfast for lunch or dinner, or any other time for that matter. Biscuits and gravy, eggs, hashbrowns, sausage, bacon, toast, all of it. There's just something about a really good plate of breakfast food that says comfort.

Here in Montana, we're blessed to have some pretty solid breakfast spots. In fact, according to one source, out of the 8 spots listed for the Best Comfort Food in Montana, 4 of them are breakfast joints in Bozeman.

The publication Family Destinations Guide published an article about the best places to get comfort food, and Bozeman showed up big time. Now, it's no secret that Bozeman is a lightning rod for opinions, but one thing people can't argue is that we have some pretty delicious places to eat.

I mean, think about it. Out of 8 restaurants, 4 of them are in Bozeman. I'm no math whiz, but I'm pretty sure that's 50 percent.
