The Official Breakfast Thread

Almost every saturday I'll have bacon, fried eggs cooked in some of the fat from that bacon, and sourdough french toast. It makes me very happy.

During the week I'll usually have cold cereal or nothing.

At a restaurant/diner, my wife has gotten me into corned beef hash.

There is a restaurant in Pittsburgh, Pamela's I think, that makes amazing corned beef hash. I haven't found anyplace else (yet) that is comparable.

My favorite breakfast....I will never eat it again.

It was the early bird special at Jedidiah's in Jackson, WY.

Eggs, bacon and sourjacks.

Jed's is gone. Like so many of the places from my childhood that warmly haunt the memories of my heart.

I've never had sourjacks that I enjoy as much as the ones I had there. Although, I do have fond memories of the sourdough pancakes served at the Edward Partrige Memorial Breakfast in lovely Oak City, Utah.

There was something in the way they cooked them at Jedediah's. The edges were browned and crispy and the rest of the pancake was laced with crispy, dark veins of goodness on the outside....the inside was slightly chewy but tender and, yet, still fluffy.

I've had sourdough pancakes many places, and they just aren't the same. Even when I've tried to replicate them myself. While good, they never measure up.

Sometimes we'd drive to Jackson just so I could get a humble breakfast in that tiny little cabin-turned-pancake-paradise. We'd often divert our travel through town.

When you put it that way...

it is best to not read the label. I've refused to tell my wife and kids what it is. I just tell them it is "like sausage." They love it. why ruin their day?

This is where I would eat breakfast every day if I could. We go here for brunch on the weekends sometimes...

The winter breakfast menu looks delish. I will need to go soon.

I went to that place and didn't love it. Maybe I'll have to try something different next time I go.

One of my breakfast favorites. Also down with some duck confit hash.

I love bagels and eat one almost every day for breakfast. On Sundays I usually go to brunch (most of the time at Tilth) either before or after church depending on the schedule for the year.

No. I have family friends that are from down that way and still maintain a home there.

We've been down there on Memorial Day a couple of times to enjoy the celebrations.

Well, Chorizo really is sausage. Not that calling something sausage makes it any more appealling.

Sausage is appalling when you think about it. Best to just eat and not think about it.

I agree, but not my favorite.

If anyone is ever in San Francisco, I highly recommend going across the bridge to Sausalito and eat at Fred's. They have deep fried french toast that is quite literally to die for.

Like others in his thread, I <3 corner beef hash. I like my hash with some over easy eggs and some whole wheat toast. Delish.

(except I get rye toast). This thread is getting me hungry for the weekend.

I do this to my wife as well. I don't care all that much about the contents, I really only care about what it tastes like. But the Mrs. won't like something just because of what it is. There's a bakery by our house that makes this lemon cheesecake made with chevre. I bought it once and had the Mrs. try. First bite and she thinks it's really good, but when she asks me what it is and I say goat cheese she flips and won't take another bite because she doesn't like goat cheese. Also, we were served "black pudding" at Le Chateaubriand in Paris, and I of course know that it's blood sausage but the Mrs. asks I tell her I have no idea what it is. She eats the whole thing and is fine with it and then when I tell her after dinner she's totally ticked.
