For breakfast, I've found it most efficient to find something that works and stick with it. I put the energy into being creative for the main meal. I also decided this year for noon games to do one meal around 10 instead of two.

My go to is the birds nest breakfast sandwich, basically an egg mcmuffin and/or scotch eggs. Based on if I feel like cleaning up the fryer that week.

Last week however, someone else took care of breakfast and it was awesome he did scrambled egg and sausage tacos, w/ salsa guacamole, etc. and grits on the side

This has probably been discussed in past but what exactly is a Maid Rite that multiple folks are having?

discouraging that several are bailing on a meal that typically includes bacon, sausage, eggs, pork roll, scrapple,cb hash and other things easily made on a griddle.. if more adventurous, biscuits and gravy, eggs benedict. C'mon now.

seems like the same idea as 'the system', tho probably not nearly as tasty.

A little surprised you're not having a cow made of butter. That's an Iowa State Fair staple.

That was a little expensive...figured we save funds for the Block R ice sculpture/luge for Michigan.

Probably will try to deep fry some sticks of butter. looking up how to do that now.

Last week one of our tailgate crew got fed up and said screw it I'm bringing steaks. We had rib eyes at 9am with some eggs and hash browns. This week pancakes, bacon and egg bake. It is starting to get old.
