In June we will host a Swedish couple who are attending Rotary's one-hundredth anniversary International Convention in Chicago. We will put them up for five days and nights and be responsible just for feeding them breakfast, since lunch and dinner will be part of the festivities downtown.

I'd like to put on the dog a little and make some really representative American breakfasts...

Like, Missouri country ham with red-eye gravy and grits. (I'll get the ham from Esicar's Smokehouse in Cape Girardeau, as I do each Christmas.)

Maybe corned beef hash, like they serve at the Colonial Inn in Concord, Mass. (It doesn't come out of a can.)

Probably huevos rancheros. (Certainly qualified as Southwest American.)

How about a Cajun breakfast?

A Down-east breakfast?

I would be grateful for some menu suggestions to round this out, including other items to go with the main themes I've suggested above.

I will appreciate your advice.

Mike
