Best quick breakfast spot - headed to the crag.

Just moved to SLC I feel like there are so many dining options that spots are hit or miss. I thought to make a post to help people grab good food (in any town) before a day of climbing. Quick grab and go food preferably or convieniant quick sit downs.

What is your favorite spot to swing in and grab food before going to X crag?

My contribution: If climbing in the Bitterroot, the Victor Mercantile has pre-made breakfast burritos every morning, they use organic Lifeline eggs and cheese from the factory next door.

  1. Forget to eat breakfast
  2. Say I'll eat something in the car on the way to the crag, but don't
  3. Start the approach
  4. Get to base of climb, rack up, start climbing
  5. Wonder why I feel like total garbage around 10:30
  6. ???
  7. Profit

EDIT: Actual response, not too many fast/good options here in Logan. My go-to at home is oatmeal with some vanilla protein powder.

Toquitos at the 7-11. The cashier tells me the are for sure organic. I like to enjoy them in solitude, i would recommend challenge buttress if its a weekend.  Welcome to SLC

Something healthy you know, like a cigarette, maybe a couple of sausages

Don't forget to wash them down with a beer.

Hostess fruit pie and a hot coffee if it is cold, or an iced coffee in warm weather.

Hard boiled egg, granola bar, chunk of your favorite cheese, and a nectarine.  Or, you know, stop at McD. and get two sausage egg and cheese Mac muffins and wolf ‘em down in the parking lot whilst perusing a guidebook- and so you can get rid of the wrappers and other trash before you go park.  Either one-but if I’m being honest it’s probably more of the latter.

Mostly just something cool, like a bar of chocolate.

The secret beta is to make a large batch of the filling ahead of time; just chop and sautee the potatoes and veggies ahead of time. Then, when it's go time, fire up some oil in the wok, toss in a scoop and then crack two eggs into it. Roll it up and in sixty seconds, you've got a fresh breakfast burrito. This is the method that I used when I slung 52 burritos in an hour and a half for a fundraiser at Creek Pasture in 2017.

You can also make a batch of prerolls and freeze them, then let one thaw in the fridge overnight. By morning, it's ready to fry to a crispy brown chimichanga. Frozen scrambled eggs never quite taste right to me, though, so I rarely utilize this method.

For maximum flavor profile, lightly coat the rolled burrito in parmesan and everything bagel seasoning, then hit it quickly on high heat to create a salty, crunchy crust.

It works, but it ain't pretty. The Platonic ideal of fluffy scrambled eggs or butter-crisped fried eggs can only be attained over a stove, preferably on a gas burner with a nonstick wok.

r/unpopularopinions -- cast iron skillets are to cooking eggs as hexes are to protecting Wingate splitters.

All I need it a bowl of Fruit Loops for breakfast.  More than that and I feel like crap for a couple hours.  That will last me till 4pm when I bonk hard if that is all I ate all day.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
