The first Saturday of the month our lodge does a breakfast. We feed 250+ people. We normally get most of our food from Gordon's. Bacon, sausage, biscuits, eggs, etc. We got an e-mail yesterday from Gordon's, No Eggs this month.

We give away 400+ double yolks every day. If you were closer you could have some for free.

What’s wrong with double yolks? I got one a week ago, seemed OK to me.
Uncertain exactly how this is Gordon's fault... they don't make the eggs![]()
Can't hatch them
We buy what I call Commercial Eggs. It's the same thing Hardees uses. They come in a pint milk jug premixed with milk. There are about 18 eggs in a jug.
Roosterman will verify this: The eggs you buy in the store and crack are graded. They all say "Grade A" or some such on the package. Further they come in Large and Extra Large. Chickens lay eggs of all sizes, double yokes, deformed, cracked shells, whatever. The culls go to what I call commercial eggs. That's what they were called 30 years ago when I was at UT. They are cracked, pasteurized and mixed with milk and packaged in milk cartons for use in restaurants. They also sell them to bakeries and other commercial places.
We go through about 2.5 cases of these egg cartons. There are 15 cartons to a case. That would be about 720 cracked eggs. Or 60 dozen.
This breakfast has developed into a busy busy mess. It started out with 2 electric skillets and 2 electric griddles. We now run the 2 electric skillets, 3 Blackstones, 2 high pressure camp stoves, have a buffet bar, and heavy duty coffee machines. The only reason we don't have 4 Blackstones now is we don't have enough people to run what we have. We cook about 45 pounds of bacon, 45 pounds of sausage, 12 pounds of fried bologna, about 30 pounds of pork tenderloin, 300 biscuits, around 200 pancakes, 50 pounds of hash browns.
Having to crack eggs v's shake and pour the mix in a skillet would involve needing 2 more guys and more time. At times I have 3 skillets on the camp stoves with 2 jugs of eggs in each at the same time.
K-Skip, don't get discouraged, even when life seems rough. There are many options. Family, friends, hotlines, internet buds, internet strangers, like-minding fisherman. If you ever need an ear or shoulder, PM me and you can give me a call. My phone is always charged and ready. I'll work you in between the telemarketers.
Dang glad I don’t have to cook at that breakfast.
