what kind of breakfast meat would you like? Bacon, so crispy it's brittle ...
what kind of toast bread? Wheat or rye, unless it's biscuits, extra butter ...
What kind of juice? Orange unless you have cranberry ...
coffee? tea? cream sugar? Coffee, one cream ...
anything else? A stack of three pancakes, with butter and real maple syrup.
Drat ... now I'm hungry and my wife's out of town ... ;-)

Wait just a second here ... no (extra-crispy, please) hash browns??? ;-)

Eggs scrambled (I prefer over easy, but I don't trust most restaurants to get safe eggs and keep them at the right temp...that might be Anthony Bourdain's fault from 'Kitchen Confidential')
Veggie sausage (veggie bacon is really gross)
Biscuit or challah toast
No juice
Lots of coffee (unlimited refills I hope) with whole milk, no sugar
...but I'm with LunaPierCook - I want hash browns, too!

I find it easier to get them over easy than soft-scrambled, but that's just my experience, so that's what I order.
They ideally should be next to potatoes, call them what you will, but they should be cooked with onions, please.
Bliss would be real country ham, not what's usually found in restaurants and diners. Failing that, yes, bacon, crisp, please.
A slice of really good summer tomato works well on this plate. (A friend of mine would walk into diners carrying his own-grown and ask for a knife.)
Bread? Biscuits only if they're as good as the Florida Avenue Grill in DC; otherwise, sourdough toast or perhaps challah toast, buttered. Blackberry jam, please.
Orange juice, only if it's squeezed to order, and don't get me started on that topic.
Coffee and whatever real milk product is in the kitchen, not this artificial junk.
Picky broad, isn't she?

I usually prepare myself lightly poached eggs (the water should be ALMOST boiling - but not boiling), over rye or pumpernickel toast (sometimes steamed spinach goes underneath - the lazy persons eggs florentine!) and I want the standard, crispy streaky bacon, definitely crispy (the brits don't know how to cook bacon i've discovered!).
Add to this freshly squeezed OJ, or a mimosa, black coffee, fried tomatoes/onions/mushrooms, and a piece of melon and I'm in heaven.

Alm25 at 8:22AM on 07/23/07
I like sunnyside up but when I eat breakfast out I usually order over easy so they don't come out too runny.
So: over easy, crispy bacon, rye toast, hashbrowns scattered and smothered, no juice, decaf coffee with cream and sweetener. Ah.
Library Lady at 9:16AM on 07/23/07
how would you like your 2 eggs cooked? Over medium.
what kind of breakfast meat would you like? Fake bacon (read soy bacon), but you'd hardly find that in most diners.
what kind of toasted bread? Rye.
What kind of juice? None, thanks.
coffee? tea? cream? sugar? Hot water, please. I bring my own tea bags.
anything else? I'd really rather have French toast with no powdered sugar.

fried eggs
vegetarian sausage
baked beans
hash browns or bubble and squeak (with ketchup)
fried mushrooms

god, looking at this list I feel like a glutton.
caley at 10:34AM on 07/23/07
over medium, bacon, home fries, rye toasted dark, tomato juice ice cold with hot sauce, coffee with just a bit of honey and half and half. Maybe a small order of pancakes to split with my wife.
Colorado Jim at 10:39AM on 07/23/07
eggs over hard- go ahead and break the yolks.
wheat or rye toast w/jelly- biscuits would be fab
ham or bacon or sausage depending on my mood
no juice! maybe skim milk
coffee w/cream and sugar if needed
AuntJone at 11:59AM on 07/23/07
If it's a regular diner, I'm quite fond of scrambled eggs with sausage, toasted english muffin or bagel on the side, and a glass of fresh oj (if they have it). I don't drink coffee. If it's slightly more upscale, I like eggs benedict.
GorillaBob at 5:30AM on 07/24/07

bacon extra crispy
gilled whole wheat sourdough (butter on the side)

I usually also order either crisp hashbrowns, or grits with plenty of butter.
skylar0ne at 2:11PM on 07/24/07
Eggs over medium. Hash browns. Wheat toast, in order to transport the eggs into my mouth. Bacon that isn't burned please. Maybe a biscuit on the side if there's real sausage gravy. Or maybe a waffle if I'm at the waffle house. Just lots of water to drink, because if I'm in a diner, I must be hungover. That's the only time I don't make my own breakfast.
lo82070 at 2:35PM on 07/24/07
how would you like your 2 eggs cooked? Sunny-side up with perfectly round yolks and whites that are slightly browned at the edges.
what kind of breakfast meat would you like? Sausage links and maple syrup to dip them in :)
what kind of toast bread? Wheat with a generous amount of butter on each slice, biscuits if available.
What kind of juice? Really pulpy orange juice.
coffee? tea? cream? sugar? Coffee with lots and lots of sugar
anything else? Hashbrowns, cut matchstick style, topped with cheddar cheese and ketchup. Yum!
Jj6407 at 12:04AM on 07/25/07
Sunnyside up, cooked in olive oil so I get lacy brown edges, lid on pan for the last few seconds to film the yolks without risking breakage by turning them over.
Thick-sliced hickory-smoked bacon
Freshly made buttermilk biscuits with unsalted butter
Freshly squeezed orange juice
Oren's Roast Sumatra Mandelhing coffee, black, no sugar

Eggs - Properly poached, no runny white
Meat - corned beef hash, period. Otherwise, well-done, extra crispy shredded hash browns or extra crispy homefries
Bread - good biscuit, toasted rye or a bagel
Tomato juice with lemon, no ice if they don't have a bloody mary
Coffee with cream or steamed milk
Anything else? Good country milk gravy or properly made hollandaise
BTW, if you've never tried hollandaise on your corned beef hash, try it (no, don't think about your arteries).
Also, I always order hollandaise for an omelette if available. Excellent. Especially one with spinach.
