Every morning I pass a Bob Evans on my way to the office. Every morning I think about the wonderful pancakes, omelets, and sausages that I have devoured at Bob Evans on Sunday mornings with my family. Every morning as my stomach is digesting the Corn Flakes that seemed like such a good choice to an hour ago, it longs for the meals of Sunday past.
Well, now I have the opportunity to win a year’s worth of Bob Evan’s breakfast! Thanks to the Ohio Livestock Coalition and Bob Evans all Ohio residents need to do is watch a video about a farmer and submit your name! You can register seven times a day until October 15th!
I was told that you have to be pretty open when writing a blog so I have a confession! Something that just may get me kicked out of Porktastic… Part of registering for the free breakfast is choosing to learn about raising pigs, turkeys, lamb, beef, etc. You think to yourself, “Well, I love bacon, ham and all things pork so I’m obviously going to choose Jim Heimerl. Bethany is also going to choose the Heimerl’s because she works for the Ohio Pork Producers Council and helps write this blog.”
…Um, well… my dad happens to be the turkey farmer! Wait, wait… before you start lighting the pitchforks and forming an angry mob, I need to let you know that he actually raises both pigs and turkeys (the man wears many hats). I may have to choose both because not choosing the pig farmer would be denying my love of bacon and not choosing my father would be allowing my mom to pile on years worth of guilt. (Seriously, my parents are some of the coolest people you will ever meet, but one time I forget to call home after my drive back to Columbus to let them know that I arrived unscathed. Four years later, I still get the “Make sure to call when you get back and not forget like that one time…)
Whew, sorry for bringing up all those hidden emotions. Back to the free breakfast! Seriously, the only real question is do I want the hotcakes, sausage gravy and biscuits, or turkey and spinach omelet… The ethical dilemmas continue and if I have gray hair by the time I’m thirty, you will know why!
What’s your favorite breakfast food?
