    Here’s the thing; bacon, eggs, sausages, bread, and potato for hash browns costs fuck all. Get these ingredients for $50 worth, and you will enjoy a breakfast of this calibre for many mornings. The missing ingredient is motivation. That’s why you pay 80% extra to get someone else to do it and it still seems like an excellent deal.

    Remember this when the menu is doing eggs benedict for $23. It better be real fucking good eggs benny because the contents on that plate cost very little.

      A proper eggs Benny takes more than the cost of the ingredients and mere “motivation”.

      That hollandaise sauce ain’t nothin to play with, and will bring even the most motivated to their knees.

      A full plate of hash browns, eggs, sausage, bacon, and pancakes is easily done in the amount of time it takes to go to and wait at a restaurant, though.

          The place I had in mind when writing this comment actually makes their own, it’s my favorite thing about that place. Lots of restaurants probably use the premade stuff, though.

        I write a breakfast blog about my home state and the Hollandaise is the top judgement. Then the quality of the poached eggs. Then the base. And of course the home fries must be fresh cut, red bliss potatoes.
