"If any type of energy drink is a part of your breakfast, you're either in college or the military." Add fast food service workers to that, because I drink a can of Monster pretty much every morning.

[@ClontonSoup]

My dad made something called Hoohash which was potatoes fried with shallots, and bacon, and scrambled eggs all mixed together. You could replace stuff with ham, hash browns, or Lipton onion soup mix potatoes. Shambled around making that a few times for my hungover roommates.

[@Pattamatt1998]

We always did something similar in my family called Seahawks Scramble (always breakfast on football Sundays) that was diced potatoes with cubed ham steak. Absolutely delightful for how simple it is.

[@nlm2nd]

Zach was having FUN editing this. I had fun watching it. (you're commenting after a minute or so of video runtime!) and? I'm more of a fan of spicy breakfast sausage than bacon. Agree about cereal. Its not filling enough and seems to just make my blood pressure tank from the sugar.

[@schnellarklight9024]

I absolutely agree on not microwaving pizza but the correct way to reheat is not in the oven but in a pan on the stove. Once the bottom of the pizza is sufficiently heated throw in 2 tablespoons of water directly on to the hot pan and cover with a lid. This will melt the cheese and leave you with a pizza that might be as good as original and a little quicker than the oven too.

[@ToastyMozart]

The main downside is the cleanup time. It takes a while to scrub all the oil off the pan and lid, in addition to waiting for them to cool down.

[@megazombiekiller9000]

Air fryer is a godsend for crisp, melty pizza. Just don’t overcook it.

[@PROJEKT_R3D]

I use cast iron only. Cleaning up anything other than that doesn't take long at all, besides, that's a part of cooking, it's gonna get messy

[@mrfancypanzer549]

If you cool the egg in cold water after boiling the shell comes off pretty easy.

[@sirjmo]

My dad used to say that you had to scare the eggs with cold water, and so far maybe 2% of boiled eggs I've made lost only a tiny bit of egg peeling them.

[@davidiceberg2744]

That and also it might help to puncture a tiny hole to the shell where the air pocket is located in the egg with either a knife or a needle

[@jimbothegymbro7086]

For biscuits, my family has a tradition every time we head down to Georgia from New York. When we find a Cracker Barrel in the morning, we tend to stop and dine. Biscuits (warm or cold), jam (grape or blackberry), and butter is a combination my father and I often enjoy.

[@waywardwriterryu7185]

Have people not heard of breakfast pizza? It’s not cold pizza, it’s pizza made using crescent roll dough, but I’ve never heard people mention it outside my family so I’m starting to wonder if it’s just a thing my family does

On the breakfast burrito. I live in So-cal (old north mexico) and you can get a breakfast burrito from a local convenience store or gas station fresh off the grill. They are great for morning commutes when you are stuck in traffic. Even though I ride a motorcycle (old goldwing) I can put it in my cup holder and munch it when I am stuck in traffic. I managed to finish the whole thing when a truck flipped over on a single lane country road, blocking the main entrance to the town I work in. The cop beside me was amused.

[@doomqwer]

This was a fun one to watch live and seeing just how deep the breakfast discussion went

[@Fireontire]

It is kind of amazing how different an American breakfast is from a Norwegian Breakfast, FYI a Norwegian Breakfast is usualy just bread with some sort of sausage or cheese on it and sometimes eggs. And for lunch its bread again until you get to dinner and it is very varied.

[@isaacschmitt4803]

I value anything that allows me to eat on the move, so granola bars, breakfast burritos, and breakfast sandwiches are in my S tier. Now, if I've got time to actually sit down and eat a nice breakfast, sunny-side up eggs and bacon with toast are my go-to. I thought sunny-side up eggs were just a marketing thing you never actually see in real life until I joined the Navy and someone ahead of me in the egg line ordered them. Haven't ordered them different ever since then.

[@avengermkii7872]

Lol. I love JunsKitchen. Best cooking content on KZbin

[@hrodga]

My only major disagreement is grits, provided that they are cooked right, and either have cheese and pepper, or honey. If you think that eating grits is like eating sand, then you've never had them made properly. Plain grits have the same texture as oatmeal, basically, and taste like bland corn. Personally, I'd give plain grits - D, sweet grits (with honey, brown sugar, etc.) - high C, and cheesy grits - high A. Also, if that potato skillet had garlic, onions, and kielbasa, that'd be my second favorite breakfast, just behind Steak and Eggs, which was also missing.

[@Takenmynameandmycat]

This. Instant grits are the thing you choke down at break in the morning because you don’t have time to go anywhere for something else warm, but Quick/ 5 Min grits that are actually cooked in a pot are so so much better. Key idea is you’re shooting for corn risotto, and if you still have hard bits it’s undercooked. The idea of sweet grits hurts my sensibilities, but I guess it’s kind of like hasty pudding grade kind of stuff at that point.

[@hrodga]

@@Takenmynameandmycat Savory is definitely my favorite, but some people just can't get through breakfast without a ton of sugar, for some reason. Grits will work for any meal, though... you just have to know what to do with them.

Did I just watch a man rate breakfast foods whilst ignoring the fact that I need sleep? Yes. Would I do it all over again? Yes.

[@AnaDuke]

- Bring eggs in pot to rolling boil and turn down a little so the shells don't tap themselves any cracks. - Boil covered for 15 minutes. Have a bowl of ice water ready. - After 15 minutes throw eggs in the ice water. Not literally. Or do, I'm not your dad. - Put it in the fridge for 15 minutes. - Yes they will be a bit colder, but the shell slides right off.

[@rude6371]

If coffee can be a breakfast, than so can energy drinks. However, "If energy drink is a part of your breakfast, you are either in college or the military." Is 100% true.

If you add a couple table spoons of white vinegar in the boiling water it helps the shelling proccess. Also if you boil them for a good 6.5 to 7 min you get great soft boiled eggs that go great on ramen.

Bagels are the goat, also best way to reheat cold pizza: put it on a frying pan covered with a splash of water so the cheese reheats properly (it’s faster than an oven)

[@TRLOLOLlol]

This is genuinely a solid list 10/10 would recommend

[@Kansas_Gamer1998]

Take an egg, break it over a small flat pile of shredded hash browns or left over fries in a skillet, cook on one side just enough to make it whole and hold together then flip and cook for 2-4 minutes. Not sure what it would be called, but its great.

[@sethasorphaq3261]

Man, a plain old fashion or cake donut made really well hits different for real.

[@Indigo_Roses]

i am violently allergic to two of the best things in breakfast; coffee* and eggs. Unfortunately this means i have to substitute or just eat something else but this list is perfect otherwise. Breakfast food is so good. Also out of curiosity have you had breakfast pizza before. sausage, small bits of potato, egg, dip it or top it with salsa. that shit is incredible. *not that i particularly care for the smell and taste of coffee but throw stuff in there and its incredible

[@Bongers_Jumpscare]

9:27 the best donut since you can just, apply anything or eat it like that, and because it’s different, IT APPARENTLY TASTES BETTEE

[@Dumbleshroom]

Zach liking plain old fashioned cake donuts is the proof I needed to justify my crusade on donuts. The Cake Donuts shall rise again!

[@ASlimeDrawsNear]

Pro Tip: Always get syrup on the side. A small cup of syrup on the side where you can dunk each bite right before you eat it, it's a game changer.

Zach, I feel like you haven't had cream of wheat properly. On its own, it's a paste that has no flavor. But with some cinnamon and sugar, it's a damn good breakfast that's extremely filling.

[@thedandygun7924]

8:00 Better idea for cold pizza, fold two pieces together and put it in a panini press or waffle iron. Crispy exterior with crust with melty cheese on inside. Bonus points if cheese seeps out, because it gets carmelized.

Add a little vinegar into your hardboiled eggs. It reacts with the shell on the egg, further hardening it and assists with lifting it away from the egg itself.

[@KeonieD]

Mate, a little secret about the hard boiled eggs. First of all, A tier. Second - after you boil them, immediately put them in cold or even freezing water, condensation will build between the shell and the egg, and it would come off almost instantly

[@ngominh259]

If you ever have the chance, Zach, try some Vietnamese beef pho for breakfast. It's incredibly filling and wholesome, and it has a lot of broth, meaning it aids digestion and you get more nutritions. Tell the cook to pop a poached egg in and it's S+ tier, easy.

[@matt-jv8gh]

pro tip for easily peeled eggs: if you're just making them to eat as is or for egg salad, STEAM THEM. the yolk won't be perfectly centered, but who cares unless you're making deviled eggs? if you're making deviled eggs use store bought eggs

[@alastair852]

Yeah, steaming them is perfect for not only making them easier to peel but also for keeping the yolks from getting overcooked.

I'd flip bagels and biscuits but that's personal preference. You can do all the same stuff to a biscuit that you would a bagel only biscuits when done right have that wonderful flakey buttery goodness. Outstanding with gravy or with fried chicken and honeybutter thrown between it. God I love a good biscuit.

The secret to peeling hardboiled egg peeling is submerging them in ice water and peeling them immediately in the water. Boiling and refrigerated really only works if you cooked them properly. Any minute overcooked them bitches hard to peel

[@LibertyOfDoom]

Zach, the way to get the shell off a hardboiled egg without fucking it up is by using your thumbnail to get under the shell and then breaking a piece off. You want to kinda retract your thumb as part of the breaking motion and let the egg bend however much it wants to until it snaps off.

[@Relletyrots]

Who's the sociopath NOT putting potatoes in breakfast burritos? That's a main ingredient.

i don't eat breakfast a lot, generally because i'm not hungry (and when i am the most i'll usually eat is a granola bar or pop tart or smth), i can confirm that bagels and breakfast sandwiches are the best things to eat for breakfast. A decently made french toast also works. When I was in AIT though, if they had those chocolate muffins (prepackaged) on the muffin table i would usually grab like four and stash em in my pockets to bring into my room even though i wasn't supposed to, that shit was bomb. also as someone who is A: in college, B: in the military, and C: works in foodservice on the side, i can confirm that energy drink makes up about 40% of my blood, to the point where it actually showed up on my last blood test lol
