My dad was a carpenter by trade. When he left home early in the morning it was important that he have plenty of energy for the hard day before him, so a hearty breakfast was very important. I remember my mom putting the breakfast dishes on the kitchen table the night before in anticipation of what she called “the most important meal of the day.” Interesting how eating a good breakfast like my mom used to tell me is still considered important! Some things remain constant in this ever changing world...amazing!
The fastfood industry has finally gotten on board and realized a good breakfast is important. In fact, the morning meal occasion has become the hot daypart. There is a battle of the breakfast going on between McDonald’s Burger King, and Hardee’s. McDonald’s is pushing its fruit-and-maple oatmeal, offering the traditional breakfast item all day long. Burger King has spent millions in recent months promoting its breakfast menu. And Hardee’s may ignite a price war with its new budget breakfast platter consisting of a scratch-made buttermilk biscuit with a bowl of sausage gravy, one scrambled or folded egg, two strips of bacon, and a pile of hash browns-all for $2.49. Even Wendy’s is inching back into the breakfast business, introducing a Fresh Made Breakfast menu in a number of test markets.
A quick look across the morning meal landscap and you will find:
• Breakfast Pizza
• Healthy is Hot
• Chocolate for Breakfast, one of the top five trends by a panel of experts.
The Food Channel is set to release its Top Ten Breakfast Trends.
Right here in St. James, Manager Matt Steffen and crew are offering hot oatmeal all day long. “Our breakfast crowd is good,” said Matt. And they are very regular customers.”
John Vetter enjoys a bowl of oatmeal and coffee at McDonald’s on a regular basis. John is a retired railroader who worked 43 years with the Chicago Northwestern RR . He is joined often by Bob Luther and Wilmar Heide.
I got to tell you, I sampled the oatmeal and it was good!
