Who serves the best breakfast in Boston? Two Boston restaurant owners will have the chance to throw down in a national competition to find out.

South Street Diner and North Street Grille will battle it out on Good Morning America to see who can cook up the best breakfast dish. Sol Sidell, the owner of South Street Diner, will make his Boston Cream Pancakes. His sister Robin Sidell, the owner of North Street Grille, will answer with her Banana Bourbon French Toast.

Only one sibling will advance to the finals in New York for the United States of Breakfast competition.

If you want to catch a healthy dose of sibling rivalry, head to Quincy Market at 6:30 a.m. on Wednesday, June 28 to see what the three local judges will decide.
