What's Your Favorite Breakfast? Tell Us and Win!

What's your favorite breakfast?

If you dropped by THG HQ most mornings you'd probably find me chowing down on a ho-hum bowl of Special K, raisins and 2% organic milk. But when I do think outside the (cereal) box you'll often find me making a pork roll, egg and cheese sandwich served on a bagel or roll.

Oh sure, I'm not opposed to breakfast sausages or other meats like pancetta or bacon, but nothing conjures up memories of years spent in the Delaware Valley like a tangy hunk of pork roll topped with an over easy egg whose yolk is oozing out the sides and onto my hands.

Tell us what your favorite breakfast is and you can win breakfast on our good friends at Hardee's. To celebrate their new Loaded Biscuit 'N' Gravy with Sausage and Eggs they've given us coupons to award to lucky THG readers.

Simply e-mail editor@hungovergourmet.com by midnight EST on Monday, May 31, 2010 with your favorite breakfast. We'll share selected entries on the blog and randomly select eight (8) entries to receive a coupon for a free Loaded Biscuit 'N' Gravy with Sausage and Eggs featuring made from scratch buttermilk biscuits, eggs, sausage patties and a heaping helping of sausage gravy.

May is National Burger Month... Free Burgers, Free Stuff

The weather has warmed up nicely and even my seasonal allergies (damn you trees!) seem to be subsiding. What better time to get the backyard grill fired up and ready to celebrate National Burger Month?

Turns out that May is just such a month, which makes sense given the warmer temps, longer days, and holidays like Mother's Day and Memorial Day that just beg for outdoor grub. I'm not exactly sure when this month-long cause for celebration got its start, but I found a 1999 press release in which fast-food burger pioneers White Castle declares their intention to sponsor the event. Not to be outdone, slyder rival Krystal owns the domain nationalburgermonth.com although a quick perusal reveals that it still features 2009 dates.

The month of grilled, fried, broiled and steamed fun kicks off today with free burgers from the Back Yard Burgers chain. Participating locations will be giving away free burgers to the first 100 customers starting at 10 am. If – like THG – you don't have a BYB nearby you can still visit their website and sign up for their eClub and win Weber Grills, Backyard Grill Kits and more.

Stay tuned to THG throughout National Burger Month for links to cool burger sites, burger recipes, weekly burger reviews and more.
