MCLEAN, VA — With many McLean residents choosing to stay home in order to avoid the scorching heat, area restaurants are devising special menus and deals to lure diners out from the air-conditioned bungalows.

Diners can order a variety of indulgent breakfast sandwiches, including Bacon, Egg & Cheese; Egg & Cheese; and Turkey Sausage, and Egg & Cheese.

If that's not enough to whet your appetite, Big Buns is serving a variety of breakfast bowls, including The Big Lebowski Bowl, which combines four eggs scrambled with bourbon mushrooms, onions, seasoned kale, served over quinoa, topped diced red cabbage, red onions and tomatoes. All breakfast bowls include crispy tater tots, fresh orange juice, cold brew coffee and mimosas.
