Yuppie Breakfast

NYNM,

Yeah. I was surprised as well but she loved them. I always go for the pancakes. Tecolote is a great restaurant but you have to get there early or stand in line.

We have looked into properties in Mountainaire, NM. A really small town, The local grocery on the main street closes at 6:00pm. However there is a place there called the "Firehouse Grill". It is run by a transplated NYC fireman and the food there is really amazing. Nothing fancy but good.

We have been to Santa Fe many times over the past twenty years and have not had a bad meal. From the Coyote, to Pascquals to Woolworths. The last place we visited was the SantaFeCafe. Excellant! But we can never leave unless we have something from Roque's. As long as he is not in Mexico for the winter.

When you get back drive down to San Antonio, NM go to the Buckhorn Grill (across from the Owl Bar) and get a green chili cheeseburger it is better than any place in the state.

Drop me a line.

You are probably right. But I do know that my wife wants to go to NY in the Spring and visit NM in the Fall. She has this thing for Canyon Road. Drop me a line. To keep this food-centric Tecolote does have poached chicken livers for breakfast. We always stay at the ElRey.

Poached chicken livers for breakfast????? How Hispanic is that??? ElRey is fun. One thing I did before we bought a place in NM is to use some property management places and rent a home for a few days rather than a hotel. They are often comparable to or even less that a hotel/upscale motel. Usually great views, hot tubs, etc. and you can cook your own NM meals right there.

NM is beautiful in the fall: chile roasting season, and NY is great in spring (all 5 days of it - it can go from wet and cold to humid and hot pretty fast)

Another NM breakfast place I recommend, breakfast burritos of course, is Over Easy Cafe on Rodeo Rd near Camino Carlos Rey and for a yuppified NM breakast, quite good, is Anasazi, on Washignton Ave near the plaza, reviewed on here on Road Food.

I would certainly agree you, but somehow I don't think that CB hash qualifies as "yuppie food." And that's just fine with me because: (1) I don't particularly care for yuppies, and (2) if so-called-yuppies liked it, the price (in restaurants) would undoubtedly DOUBLE or TRIPLE.

Case in point: my favorite cuts of steak (flank, skirt, hanger) used to be very inexpensive until the YUPPIES and MARKETERS went to work. Now those cuts cost as much or MORE than porterhouse.

Let's don't tell the yuppies and soccer moms about corned beef hash!

Who am I to criticize them for their tastes? I have a thing for meat that's been cooked until it's pasty, then formed into a relative cylinder, milk that's not only spoiled, but that bacteria and mold have been added to to aid said spoilage, and pancakes and waffles with tree sap.

Real yuppies don't eat tofu. That's for tree huggers and other crunchy types

I'm sort of odd on my beliefs about health. I think exercise is ten times more important than the fuel going into the body. If the furnace is hot enough it will burn anything.

We sometimes tend to lose sight of it on this board but many companies (mine included) are much more health conscious than even 5 years ago. My former boss, Mr. Donut-and-Bacon Man cost the company a bundle both in medical costs and lost leadership time with his two heart attacks and bypass surgery. As the chunky cholesterol laden guys retire, fresh fruit and bagels with regular or lite cream cheese have replaced donuts and Danish.

I don’t disagree with raising the bar on healthy breakfast or snack alternatives to satisfy those employees who embrace a healthier lifestyle than I do.

The only time I heard that was in the movie Blues Brothers, right before Dan Aykroyd sang Theme from Rawhide. Must be because I enjoy C&W.

Both worlds? What 2 worlds are those? That's like the old joke, "I like BOTH kinds of music: Country AND Western."

According to the good Dr. Gray, you are from Mars, given the screen name *****King.

I might like to have some chanterelle or other la-de-dah mushrooms in my omelet, along with onions that aren't yellow, and buckwheat pancakes, especially since I can't even find the flour, but only once, I bet.

I had to make a presentation to one of these green breakfast groups where everyone brought their own stuff. They had all kinds of yogurt and tufo and other unknown healthy things---so the fact that no one thought to bring anything for the guest was OK with me. The fact that I had driven 200 miles to do them a favor was not a consideration. Even watching them eating that stuff didn't make me hungry. BUT-------as soon as I was done I headed for Dunkin' Donuts. Long live the guys who eat donuts !!!!

I was at a meeting last month, we had "tier 1 to 3" plus hot food, eggs, bacon, sausage, chorizo, ham and potatoes.

Most of us tried to be good & eat from tier 1 to 3; however the smell of the hot food was so overwhelming that many of us put the fruit & yogurt aside and got some hot food.

After the huge breakfast feast, many people over ate and appeared to be napping or very restless during the meeting.

Needless to say the board recommended that at the next meeting we will stick with tier 1 only.

I attend my fair share of corporate breakfast meetings. They are always the same. Tier 1 - bagels, cream cheese, butter, jellies, coffee, teas, juices. Tier 2 - add fruit, a fruit salad preferred. Tier 3 - add pastries.

The nicer the catering is, the smaller the pastries are. Even mid-level caterers pre-slice bagels and cut pastries in smaller pieces.

Hot foods are out. Attendees are mostly trying to discretely feed themselves what they need to get through the morning without the need to excuse themselves. And hot grease is hell on business attire and laptops.

I'd love a nice mini-sandwich, already prepared, and I could see situations where I might pay a premium to impress an important client (particularly if I were billing it back to them) with something good and different.

Yes I am. Constantly. If you only knew how Fontana has changed, becoming the yuppie capital of the west. How I miss the days of illegal aliens and steel workers, shacky homes and cars up on blocks in front yards. Drug dealing, gangs, nightly gunfire........... the good old days.

fresh fruit for breakfast is something I don't get enough of. I love it. Eggs and meat are great, cereal is more common in my house but, c'mon, what's not tasty about mangoes and cherries etc?
25 dollars per person is steep for most folks but remember, this is Manhattan- where you can't get a walk-in-closet for less than 1000 dollars a month. In a crap neighborhood. Good smoked salmon, fresh fruit, quality baked goods...price wise, about par for the course in NYC.
By the way, enginecaptain, are you being picked on by yuppies on a regular basis?

RE: Yuppie Breakfast (xannie_01)

Tue, 13 Mar 2007 19:32:53 GMT

i love fresh fruit but 25 bucks is a tad steep
for my tastes.
i don't want to think of, much look at food
before 11 am.
hubster loves breakfast and doesn't think 7 is too early for
chowing down.
to each his/her own.

That's one thing I love about this great country.... DIVERSITY!

NYNM - If ordered a baby BLT on brioche in the south they would look at me as if I were from MARS!
but being in NYC, that could be fairly normal breakfast fare.

The fruit and yogurt sounds good, I love fresh pineapple and papaya.
Mango and I don't agree (bad mango experience in Haiti, )

I would try breakfast your way, but I am of simple taste and southern roots, the DD & Cawfee sounded good too.

Or, you could consider this:

Mango, papaya, fresh pineapple, lychees and cherries
Organic Vanilla Yogurt with Granola
Baby BLT on Brioche, Smoked Salmon & Avocado, Gruyeres Cheese & Parsley Butter, etc..............

Do not sound the least bit appetizing to me for breakfast. Especially at 25 bucks a pop. And some of that stuff sounds gaggy at any meal.

What got to you, the "yuppie snot" part?

man, there's a lot of vitriol concerning them durned yuppies. I'm not sure we all even have the same definition of what "one" is. In my travels, I seek out the best food and drink regardless of the clientele. Why should the yuppies have all the best coffee houses, artisan bakeries, bistros and brewpubs to themselves?
