Where to Break Your Fast Around Bakersfield
Eating a hearty hot breakfast has all sorts of benefits, from making us feel full longer (hot food is said to be more satisfying than cold) so that we snack less, to breaking the long fast since dinner time to help regulate blood sugar better. While there's some debate now about breakfast being the most healthful meal of all, there's no doubt that the right breakfast fare can give you much-needed nutrition. From steel cut oats to orange juice and eggs, breakfast foods can be delicious as well as nutritious.
In case you hadn't realized, now that you've moved into the dream home you selected from Bakersfield homes for sale, February will be National Hot Breakfast Month. What better time to explore the Bakersfield area and see who has the best hot breakfast around? Here are some suggestions to get you started.

Where to Celebrate Tempura Day Around Central CA
National Tempura Day is January 7, so be sure to celebrate the holiday by treating yourself to your favorite lightly fried, crispy dish. Not only is tempura delicious, but it also uses less grease than other frying methods. While we typically associate tempura with Japanese cooking, did you know the frying style actually originated in Portugal? Tempura batter is actually just a mix of egg, flour, and cold water.
Our agents have so many favorite Japanese restaurants in the area, that it's hard to pick just one recommendation. They decided to put together a list of their top five favorite locations to celebrate Tempura Day around Central California.
- JIN Sushi - 1600 19th St., Bakersfield, CA 93301
Located in the heart of downtown Bakersfield, JIN Sushi offers delicious vegetable and shrimp tempura as well as sushi, salads, and a variety of Japanese dinner entrees. The dining atmosphere is simple and casual, and imported beers and spirits are available when dining in. Takeout can also be ordered online. After dinner, you have to be sure to drive by some of these newly listed Bakersfield homes for sale.
