Just went out for breakfast on Saturday. I had a Tex-Mex styled egg-and-hashbrowns skillet.
I usually go for the protein-type breakfasts. When I have a carb-type breakfast (pancakes or waffles or the like), it’s usually for supper.
A couple over-easy eggs, hash browns, bacon and toast. A soda to drink.
Two eggs over easy, hash browns scattered, smothered and covered, with two pieces of white toast. One with cut up fried eggs on it, one with jelly for dessert. Sometimes with a rasher of bacon. Plus coffee with half-n-half and sugar, and ice water.
I eat this often on days that I have to have a fasting blood test. I’m starving, after all! 
A breakfast sandwich with a fried egg and crispy bacon on a large English muffin with a side of fried potatoes with onion and coffee, extra cream no sugar, please!
There’s a diner near my office where I have breakfast for lunch a couple times a month. I usually get two eggs over easy, home fries and a sesame bagel with cream cheese. Coffee or tea depending on my mood and need for caffeine.
I like when there is a combo platter, usually called something like Lumberjack breakfast or something similarly guilt-inducing.
Scrambled eggs, bacon, white toast with grape jelly/jam, pancakes, home fries in some quantity. I don’t drink coffee so soda or cocoa. Maybe tea.
If there isn’t a nice combo pig out or it’s a buffet, I’ll get some of those things or swap them out with similar foods: a good belgian waffle, hashbrowns. Biscuits only if I’m down south.
What’s the connection to Charlie Parker?
Corned beef hash, two eggs over easy, home fries, buttered wheat toast and black coffee
HEY, BABY! Long time, no see!
(I am entitled to call vix “baby” because I am a decrepit 57-year-old, and vix is still the marvelous and witty 20-something I first met in Manhattan some twenty years ago)
Very interesting to see so many Dopers are Savory Breakfast types like me, since most folks seem to be a Sweet Breakfast and go for a danish with coffee. Or French toast drowned under maple syrup.
Drinking soda pop with breakfast seems weird, though.
Charlie Parker’s Diner is one place you can get a breakfast horseshoe. Not the only place, but theirs has won an award. I honestly don’t know what the connection is between Charlie Parker’s Diner and Charlie Parker.
Scrambled eggs, home fries, three strips of bacon, white toast with butter and jam., orange juice, coffee.
Damn, now I’m hungry.
Hash bowns (crispy), 2 eggs sunnyside up, 4 sausage links and a half order of biscuits and gravy on the side, extra gravy. A cup or two of black coffee and a large milk.
There’s no way I’ll finish it all, so I have some of each thing. Then pass the plate(s) to my husband - he’ll usually kill it all (or most of it).
Denver Omelette with sides of ham, sausage, and hash browns. Lots of OJ in a BIG glass.
Bowl of cream of wheat sweetened with honey. Toast with grape jelly, Coffee
I had McDonald’s Big Breakfast yesterday. Scrambled eggs, sausage patty, hash browns, pancakes & syrup. They even included a biscuit that I saved for lunch.
Back to the diner!
This morning? Just a slice of strawberry-rhubarb pie and a cup of coffee. Because I can.
I love this thread.
Ham & Swiss Omelet with dry rye toast and home fries is my go to diner breakfast.
I was at a diner last night and oddly did a Cobb Salad instead of breakfast.
I always enjoyed going to Bob Evans for breakfast in college because one of the bread options is banana bread, which I would always just get to go and eat for breakfast the next day. Slathered in butter.
To me, the decision is two-fold:
- I don’t like coffee or tea
2: I loooooove soda.
The real trick is finding a good breakfast soda. Like I said in my answer, Dr. Pepper and Barqs are the two best, followed by regular Coke. Mt. Dew actually isn’t bad either, but I enjoy The Dew in the mornings because it’s citrus-y and tastes just as good warm as it does cold. It’s about the only soda that does IMO
I used to drink Mountain Dew in the mornings all the time. My favorite soda, plus it’s one of the highest in caffeine.
Many many years ago, I took a “Drugs and Society” class, which included a chapter on caffeine. There was a list in the textbook of sodas by caffeine content. Number one, by a landslide, was Jolt, with 70+ milligrams per can. Mountain Dew was #3, about 55 mg per can.
Number two, for some oddball reason, was Sugar Free Mr. Pibb. I shit you not. Regular Mr. Pibb was around 37 mg, like most of the other colas.
One of the “batter and syrup” options – if I’m on a trip where I’ll be eating restaurant breakfasts for several days in a row, I switch from pancakes (preferably with blueberries) to French toast to strawberry-topped Belgian waffle. For a bit of savory, I might add some bacon or sausage, and I’m often given the opportunity to help finish someone’s potatoes. Since I’m not a coffee drinker, I order apple juice if it’s available, lemonade if it’s the best option, or just water – soda is my go-to beverage for most lunches and many dinners, but I can’t recall ever having it for breakfast.
