Hello, I'm Hal Lublin.

And I'm Mark Gagliardi.

Since the dawn of humanity, one issue has gone unsettled.

With the fate of the world and the balance, we're here to settle once and for all.

Best Breakfast Side.

That's right. Don't worry, everyone.

We got this.

Podcast should have a theme song. Podcast should not have a theme song.

Yes, they should. No, they shouldn't. They sound good. Yeah, but people are just going to skip past it.

Hmm. You know what? You're right. We got this.

Hal, describe for me your ideal breakfast.

Cool. You know, it depends on the mood.

You'd think I would have, I am notoriously, a very good orderer.

Listen, you can make fun of the tan foods all you want, but I definitely order well at restaurants.

Very rarely, I have a very high batting average. There are very few times where I order something and go like, I wish I'd gotten something else. So it really depends. Like breakfast is one of those meals where sometimes you feel a little savory. You want something light. Sometimes you want a combo meal. Sometimes you feel like pancakes or waffles or French toast, something in that family. So it strikes you as you're in the moment. And I don't necessarily care to have one of those like lumberjack face stuffers where they give you everything on the menu and then you have to eat it. Yeah. I did win a certificate for doing that once, though. Did you? Yeah. I ate one of those that you got to eat it, you know, if you can sit down and

eat this whole thing. It was basically just everything they had. Like, here's a whole breakfast

with a whole dinner on top. You're like, okay, I get what this is. Where's that? This was at Clark's

Diner in Chicago, RIP Clarks, you were the best. You had for $1.99 a breakfast plate, but we would substitute on our

breakfast plate and we would create what I think is the greatest combo of breakfast sides ever

because for $1.99, you got eggs, a piece of toast, and hash browns. But you could substitute

the toast for pancakes and you could substitute the hash browns for fries.

And you know how places give you fries.
