Ah, breakfast. Now, I must say, I rarely eat breakfast. Breakfast foods and I don't tend to get along so well, you see. When I do eat breakfast, it frequently resembles something closer to lunch. You know, me and my grilled cheese. Mmmmmm. For a while it was corn dogs from 7-11. Mmmmm.
Anyway, the fluff editorial journalism of the day is this: Wendy's has the awesomest* breakfast menu among breakfast serving fast food places.
Yes, they carry several incarnations of the standard egg-meat-cheese sandwich. Yes, there is a breakfast burrito. *shudder* The brilliance of this menu lies in the final option among the combos. You see, Wendy's offers Biscuits and Gravy*. What took so long? When Biscuits and Gravy* is so obviously a gift from God, it amazes me that Fast Food only recently (this year!) thought to incorporate this culinary wonder into the morning menu. Perhaps the delay was a result of fear and reverence for its esteemed goodness?
Alas, Wendy's also offers a chicken biscuit sandwich, which had my mouth watering this morning, so I cannot say whether the Biscuits and Gravy actually lives up to its potential. The chicken biscuit did, though. It is a wonderful thing to be able to order a breakfast item involving meat without having to say "No egg." It is reassuring indeed to know without doubt that when I bite into said breakfast item, I will not, indeed cannot, find myself with a mouthful of nausea-inducing fluffy yellow potential poultry.
Another stroke of brilliance was the Wendy's tradition of choice of sides. No longer are we limited to hashbrowns! The breakfast eating public now has the option of a cinnamon roll or blueberry muffin. This is a thing of beauty, and I can personally recommend the blueberry muffin.
I have been a fan of Wendy's since their resurgence in SoCal, and especially since I lived next door to one for three years. First the late hours, then the 99 cent menu, the non-fry side options, and now Biscuits and Gravy... Dave would be proud.
* Of course I'm aware that "awesomest" is a glaring misuse of the superlative suffix -est. However, had I used the correct superlative "most awesome," you, the reader, would likely have missed the emphatic tone intended in the statement.
* I am capitalizing "Biscuits and Gravy" because, in this case, it very nearly qualifies as a proper noun. Besides, it's fun to use random capitalization for emphasis!
* In case anyone questions my subject/verb agreement here (Biscuits and Gravy is...) I submit to you this rule regarding collective nouns.
