T.P. Egg's Benedict Breakfast

[Hippie]

I like it, Hippie! Think the fare should be a little of the SW flavor. Breakfast buritos with red and green sauce might be the thing. Good to pre-prepare and keep warm for a buffet. Yeah, this should be the offering a little of the SW flavor to the visiting folks. I'm just a worker bee, you're the chef, Jerry! I'm sure Lala's pastries will be scarfed, no matter what the bill of fare! I can cook SW! That many poached eggs was going to be a nightmare. Thoughts?
What, Mayor, you don't like traditional Eggs Bene? SW more to youor liking?
 

A two burner, white gas, coleman stove can turn out about 50 poached eggs an hour at altitude. Go for it dude! I'm wearing my PJs and coming to eat, not cook

I never said I didn't like Eggs Benedict, but there may be people that don't. It's up to those that want the SW flavor to do it or not.

I am making those Choc., maple bacon cup cakes in advance and bringing a few dozem as well.

Why don't you guys just keep it simple and serve oatmeal. 

Just kidding... I'm really looking forward to Blind Gerry's coffee... LalaGay's pastries... Jail House Boy's eggs benedict... and Debbie from Tucson's bloody marys.  Man!  What a great morning it will be to be alive in Telluride.  And, the festival music will not have even started yet!  Pre-fest activities rock!

Let's make it happen!

Does anybody besides me like breakfast burritos or quesadillas at 2 or 3a.m?  Now that's what we need, a late-night short order kitchen for the jammers.  At 9 a.m. , I'm barely awake, but 3 a.m, let's party!  (and eat)  I've always been a night owl, but thank goodness for the early birds too.   

[Ron N Deb]

I will fire up the Grill just for you !
 

[dayton]

count me in for the late night breakfast burritos and quesadillas
late night short order kitchen is a fantastic idea...... maybe throw in some garlic grilled cheeses with tomato too, mmm...

To make it easier on the cooks we could just flavor the Hollandaise with a Salsa or Green chiles. Those two could also just be offered on the side for folks to put on their Bennies if they wish. I'll try to bring some Lime-Pepper seasoning to put on them as well.
Also making two different types of eggs would be extra work. Lets just poach em and move along.
Hippie, we used to pre-poach VERY lightly our eggs for events of 3 to 5 hundred. As soon as the whites were mostly stable and could be taken out of the poaching liquid, we would then put into a icewater bath to cool them. Then as service time approaached we would have our new batch of poaching liquid hot aand just drop a few in at a time and send out the hotel pans of Bennies out nice and fresh with hot runny yolks! It was a time saver  that aalso gave a great finished product. mmmmmmm...Hollandaise and runny yolks

[Hippie]

  Great Idea useless... with one caveat.

We need to be sure our egg supply is of the highest quality, unfortunately bacteria salmonella is present in a majority of eggs coming off of the large industrial chicken farms. I don't hesitate to cook that way whan I know the source of my raw ingredients. Otherwise I err on the side of caution and make sure the yolks reach at least 165 degrees right before serving. Whenever I cook in a public festival forum such as we have I am pretty extra careful about good temperature control. Especially since this chef is not afraid to include extra rum in his rum free coffee while cooking; We're all here to have a great time and food safety should be a prime directive we should all exercise.

I hope those eggs come from free range chickens...

[UselessJo]

Great point. I'm so used to having my supplies with me from my suppliers. Your caveat is a very strong one!
Would it help if we used some of the rum to sanitize and kill all bacteria? 

[itsRick]

eggs should be very easy to locate, with the economy as it is, there are a lot of people supplimenting there incomes by selling eggs. I have a friend that sells at our farmers market, give me an idea of how may doz. we need and I'll give her a call? they are free range, and are fed organic food.
 I'm with Hippie, it would be a major buzz kill to get the whole campground sick! cleanliness and food saftey are of utmost importance.
 Cindy Lou, I think the late night night taco/ burrito thing is a great idea. let's see what we can do? no promises, something simple.

I think we should kill the bacteria from the inside out! not much can live in a belly full'o rum!
