Goes Well with Grits: The Southern B&B Breakfast Experience

When a traveler books a room at a bed & breakfast, half the experience is lodging, and the other half is breakfast. In these pages, a seasoned innkeeper takes a philosophical and lighthearted look at the fine art of breakfast at a cozy Georgia B&B. Readers can share a virtual B&B breakfast experience and ponder the following interesting topics.

-Debate whether or not permaculture bacon (and sausage) really is better.

-Learn the shocking reason why Dr. John Kellogg invented corn flakes.

-Discover the human emotional attachment to chickens and their eggs.

-Contemplate the subject of pancakes versus waffles: the controversies, the contests, and why you shouldn’t throw them out or at somebody else.

-Consider alternative ways to make toast interestingly (as opposed to boringly).

-Get schooled in the only right way to cook grits—Georgia’s official prepared food.

-Find out how to make the best brandied figs courtesy of the crazy cat lady who lives across the tracks.

These subjects and many more are interwoven with stories about nature, the animals, the chickens, and the people who share their home with the world at The Firefly. You’re welcome to join them for breakfast.
