The eggs weren't dry, they just had that weird, plasticky quality you sometimes get at a crappy diner. I don't even know how that happens.

None of it was cold, and the hash browns weren't dry at all. I order them crispy, and they were that. The only thing wrong with the hash browns were they were drowned in butter. They were otherwise well cooked.

The whole thing, with drink, was $8. I ate wHat I ate - which was a bite of biscuit, a bite of egg, about 1/3 of the hash browns, and most of the CFS - and left.

Sorry, no

The correct answer is that you are a terrible person who eats awful food

Ha, really though I've smashed offerings like that many, many times and surely will again... but for a real sit down restaurant, you gotta admit its pretty poor quality

I love me some biscuit n' gravy.

Being married into a hispanic family and living in SoCal, biscuits n' gravy is not a cultural norm around here so people look at me like im eating some odd, foreign food whenever i order/make it.

Those people can suck it, because biscuits n' gravy is the bee's knees. With a side of grits....bacon...eggs....hashbrowns....aahhhhh yea.

Perfect breakfast starts with slightly runny egg yolk.

2 over-easy or fried, with fresh hashbrowns from grated spuds and 2-3 slices of crispy bacon. An triangle extra triangle of toast with real butter if you're feeling peckish.

Start with the eggs with Tabasco sprinkled on top.

Dip the crisp bacon into the top of the yolk and give a little stir to coat.

Then eat the eggs.

Then roll the hashbrowns [with ketchup on top] over on top of the remaining egg bits and yolk pool to soak it all up.

If you have the toast triangle, use it as a broom/mop throughout to scoop stuff into piles or soak up excess moisture.

I was with you until the ketchup.

The only sauce those hash browns need is the egg yolk.

Philistine.

Warm runny yolk has the texture of warm runny snot. No thanks.

Not a lot of things I actually 'enjoy' ketchup on.

It's so ubiquitous that there's a lot I'll TOLERATE with ketchup, but that's different from liking something.

But hash browns with just a bit of ketchup on top is good breakfast. Just keep the ketchup away from the eggs and bacon.

Aside from hashbrowns, about the only other thing I actually LIKE ketchup on is its cousin corned beef hash.

100% on your side with runny eggs

I like my eggs scrambled, and at least lightly cooked through for sammiches

[RunKC]

Anyone put extra spice on your B&G?

I like red pepper in the gravy with a touch of oreganoJust make it homemade and it's so good.

[KCUnited]

Pinch of cayenne in the mix then of course doused with hot sauce.

I do not want crazy biscuits and gravy... if it isnt broke, dont fix it

Some sage in the pork, black pepper, and maybe a bit of pepper flake... thats about it

Great huevos rancheros is every bit as awesome as B&G, just make sure your wife is good at that..

I have added a pinch of chili powder to my gravy. Don't know that it did anything of note to silence the obscene amount of black pepper I put in my mix. I like to throw an over easy egg on top of the biscuit then layer with gravy and top with scallions and lots of hot sauce.

What about spicy chorizo?

A good friend of mine uses that, red cayenne pepper and jalapeños. That's too much for me

I don't think I'd ever go that route. Seems way over the top. I'd love to buy hot breakfast sausage and go that route but I have to tame everything I make anymore for the wife and the baby eats what we do. So I've had culinary castration.
