Big Bad Breakfast
Big Bad Breakfast: The Most Important Book of the Day | John Currence
9 posts | 2 read | 15 to read
From the James Beard Award winner, Top Chef Masters contestant, and acclaimed author comes this fun, festive, and highly caffeinated ode to the joys and rituals of the Southern breakfast, with 75 recipes inspired by the author's popular restaurant in Oxford, Mississippi. John Currence is one of the most celebrated and well-loved chefs in the South. Among his string of highly successful restaurants in Oxford, Mississippi, Big Bad Breakfast holds a special place in diners' hearts: It is a gathering place where people from all walks come together to share the most important meal of the day, breakfast. Southerners know how to do breakfast right, and Currence has elevated it to an artform: dishes like Banana-Pecan Coffee Cake, Spicy Boudin and Poached Eggs, and Oyster Pot Pie are comforting, soulful, and packed with real Southern flavor. Big Bad Breakfast is full of delicious recipes that will make the day ahead that much better--not to mention stories of the wonderful characters who fill the restaurant every morning, and a meditation on why the Southern breakfast is one of America's most valuable culinary contributions. From the Hardcover edition.

#BookNBreakfast! Who wants to have breakfast with MrBook?! You'll get a great breakfast sandwich: Taylor ham, crispy bacon, egg, and cheese, on a roll, with pepper and ketchup. And some orange juice to wash it all down. MMMMmmm 😋! Happy reads & happy eats! 😎👌🏻

SaraFair Is Taylor ham the same as Taylor Pork Roll? That's what we call it in the South. 8y
MrBook @SaraFair Yep! I think Taylor ham might have some distinguishing feature about it though, not sure. ☺ 8y

Because #Hashbrowns are just giant Tater-Tots that are socially acceptable to eat for breakfast. And yes I am aware that it is 2pm and I am just now eating Breakfast. #BreakfastAndBooks

Foragingfantasy I'm a big believer of eating whatever you want regardless of the time of day. Soup for breakfast, sure! Breakfast for lunch, awesome! Cake for supper, absolutely! 😊 8y

THE HOT DOG WAFFLE! Why I Love Oxford, MS #24688643: The Pylon is a Belgian Waffle topped with hot dogs, breakfast chili, sweet slaw, cheese, oyster crackers, and other stuff. It's miracle food, because it brings the hungoverest fool back to life.

MrBook Mmmmm 😋! 8y

John Currence, author of the awesome Pickles, Pigs, and Whiskey, returns with a book dedicated to the joys of the Southern breakfast, inspired by his popular restaurant in Oxford, Mississippi. If Banana-Pecan Coffee Cake and Spicy Boudin and Poached Eggs sound like a great way to start the day (you better believe it!), then this is the book for you. - Stef, Head Cookbook Buyer

MrBook Great review! Now I'm salivating! 8y
LeahBergen Oooo! 😍 8y
