I’m not really a big breakfast eater, but huevos rancheros sound pretty good right now.
I’ve heard that pho is traditionally eaten for breakfast too, although I mainly have it for lunch.
my last mile breakfast:
belgian waffles
topped with honey and butter, heated and
a dollop of whipped cream and
your favorite fruit(s) and nuts
on the side:
eggs sunny-side up and
slab or canadian bacon and
a mimosa or two
Bacon & eggs (alternatively, fried fish)
Grits
Fruit
Toast
OJ
Don’t forget the Franks…
Waffles and hash browns. If you don’t have waffles then French toast is just as good.
But it’s not a ‘best breakfast’ without hash brown potatos.
Oh yeah. hash browns are essential, crisp on the outside, tender inside.
I’m a distance runner, so my answer will be no fun. But this is what I usually have after my pre-dawn runs:
1 cup plain greek yogurt
1/2 cup Grape Nuts
1 banana, sliced
1/4 cup blueberries
Mix it all up in a bowl and down it. About 35 grams of protein with zero fat. Not as tasty as huevos rancheros, but it’ll definitely fill you up and give you energy for the whole day.
contrary to my “last mile” breakfast (see above), yogurt and mixed fruit, sans cereal, is my basic daily breakfast.
How long ago did you “go greek”?
Thick, crisp French toast with powdered sugar and real maple syrup with sausage patties on the side, black coffee, and fresh-squeezed orange juice.
What I have daily:
-coffee with agave syrup
-ciabatta with humus
-tamari almonds
On weekends I have oatmeal instead of the ciabatta.
Banana bread french toast, bacon or sausage, black coffee, followed with carnal relations.
You’ve gotta hand it to brendan: he knows his sides.
Lobster eggs florentine. From bottom to top:
English muffins, toasted
Butter
chunks of lobster meat
poached eggs
baby spinach
Hollandaise sauce
It’ll make your eyes roll back in your head.
Apparently, a lobster roll joint opened up in Philly, which is as unusual as a cheesesteak joint opening in Boston. Anyway, CG has been nagging me to go into the city for some lobster roll. And now I am craving it, too.
I do like lobster eggs benedict, and baby spinach is a nice touch.
Actually, every sub shop in New England offers a steak-and-cheese sub.
They’re called “steak and cheese.” If you get them with onions, peppers, and mushrooms, it becomes a “steak bomb.”
A steak bomb might be good, but it isn’t a cheesesteak.
Bagel with cream cheese and lox
I used to think the best were in NYC, but Eltana here in Seattle is making a case.
Ah, years ago, when I was in college, it was cold, left-over pizza, and a much colder beer or ale.
On a serious note – an omelette stuffed with sautéed peppers, mushrooms, green onions, crab meat, and a some slices or shavings of your favorite cheese.
With some fruit, and a ripe tomato half, on the side.
Tennessee Pride Hot Sausage
Bowl of Grits
Softly scrambled eggs
Large Glass of Milk
So, how do you make good grits?
Troublemaker.
All I said was that Canadian beer sucks!
Water
Grits
Salt
Butter
stand over the pot.
not too chunky
not too watery
just so ……they sit on your spoon and don’t move.
sigh…
I love a good bowl of grits.
Carrot-mango juice
Scrapple fried until crisp
Strawberry preserves
Buttered white toast
Coffee
I had to stop eating scrapple when my ex-wife discovered “snout” as one of the ingredients listed on the label. We’re divorced now eight years, but I haven’t gone back.
The best way to make scrapple is to brown it on one side, turn it over, leave it in the pan for just a minute, put it on a plate, and put the plate on the back porch for homeless cats.
Homemade hash browns topped with leftover mojo pulled pork, topped with eggs over easy (using eggs laid by your own personal hens) and homemade hollandaise sauce (again, made with eggs laid by your own personal hens) supplemented with just a touch of jalapeno sauce. Side of grits. Toast.
Hashbrowns and a Farmer’s Benedict: Sliced English muffin with sausage patties, topped with poached eggs, and covered with white pepper sausage gravy.
Everyone else seems to be taking this to mean the food specifically. I’ll go with the experience instead. Here’s the world’s best breakfast.
Awoken by a slight brightening of your surroundings, you curl up in your warm sleeping bag for just a little bit more of the warmth you’ve banked up over the course of the night. Stretch out, throw some clothes on, then get out of your tent. Walk over to the waterfall that’s near your site and filter some water into your water bottle. Heat it up on your iso-butane stove and then mix in some dry milk, oatmeal, and dried berries (fresh picked if you happen to be hiking in the right time and place).
Take your bowl of fruity oatmeal and climb up on some rocks to watch the sunrise over the vast expanse of wilderness surrounding you.
And that my friends, is the world’s best breakfast.
biscuits & gravy

Rangoon crepes?
What a maniac!!
Carmen’s tamales on Sunday. Chorizo and eggs, bagels with lox and cream cheese, eggs Benedict, and cold pizza also work for me.
Hot sweet potato biscuits with real butter, a couple of slices of smoked pork loin, a coupla eggs, grits, and a good cup of tea.
Homemade hash from potatoes, onions and leftover roast or corned beef.
Biscuits and gravy.
Aigs.
Buttered toast.
Waffle and/or French toast w/real maple syrup and/or vanilla ice cream.
Juice
Ice water
Coffee
Wheelbarrow &/or Angioplasty
-OR-
Bud & Mud.
Anything including grilled kippers, eggs, a variety of cheese, and really good coffee.
Bacon, sausage, ham, scrapple, corned beef hash- swimming in syrup and tabasco. Maybe a steak or easy over eggs on the side.
If in a pork challenged environment, motzoh brei with burned onions, preserves, sour cream and garlic salt.
You know, those potato pancakes would make a damn fine breakfast side.
