I have no idea. lol. I don't generally buy the cheese, and its usually the bargain brand.
Still tastes good to me though. Grilled cheese, eggsncheese, sandwiches, cheese and crackers.
cheese!
Yes...I say annual revisit...all that SPAM I bought will be good til 2015, so I'm golden.
Went with Muskaaaaay...and it was a coin toss with the newb tfergy. T-ferg...dude...that was awesome. Only thing I would have added was a layer of maters, and top/bottom layer of pepper jack/mild cheddar...but that's personal preference. I went with the one I would sit down to as it was presented. But all ya'll rocked this shit. Speaking of...I still feel like shit...maybe these wheeskeez will help.
NOOBS...good job.
I think we have a disconnect somewhere, because my account balance hasn't changed since the voting opened up.

Thanks badger, and those who have voted for me so far! I don't tend to do sweet for breakfast, except on special occasions, so that is how I see this entry - it's a holiday, someone's birthday, etc. But I appreciate that there are those who do regularly include sugar in their brekkies, so this is for them, too!
DTS FTW! Nice sweet/salty balance here. And stuff I like to eat! Homemade brioche, perfectly poached eggs for running, bacon caramelized in maple/chili/butter sauce, gruyere for sharp and savory balance, drizzle of the sauce, a chili. The only thing I would have done differently (maybe) is not caramelize the smoked bacon, let is shine as bacon, and not taste like candy. But since it was the same maple sauce used to make the drizzle, and not full-candied with brown sugar, it won me over. It wasn't an additional sweet, it was just tying it in. But still, I'd try both ways. Yours could be better, hard to judge from a screen. I love a good sweet/savory balance for brekkie, this had the layers, and enough savory with two eggs, cheese, and smoked bacon. It did not look cloyingly sweet. It looked... simply, and elegantly... amazing. This is the one I would order at a restaurant.
Booma, excellent job making real bagels. Boiling, and not straight baking, or cheating. We have something here called a French toast bagel. It's an eggy bagel with maple syrup in it, and powdered sugar on top. This reminded me of that taken up a few notches! I wish it had eggs and bacon though instead of banana pastry cream and bacon. With the glaze on top, the sweet bagel, and banana cream, a bit sweet with just the bacon to balance it. Kinda like your play on a cream-filled donut. I'd try it! Creative.
Scovie, the Leaning Tower of Twisp looked amazing. I could see eating that in sections.
keybrdkid, I REALLY like that, with the fresh pita, and the perfectly cooked eggs, melty cheese, etc. But I did not like the Spam in it, if that was county ham or some fiery sausage, it would have been my vote, I think! Well done!
geeme, thanks for doing pie and coffee! Like I said, I like pie and coffee for breakfast, but separately. But DAMN creative. I'd try that too.
I don't go much for sliced bread sammies or hard eggs on them, but every entry here was amazing and there was something for everyone's tastes!
MONEY!!!!

So many awesome entries this throwdown!!!!!!
Every single one was worthy of a vote for so many different reasons; flavours, combinations, presentation or uniqueness.
Ended up going with rocketman, great combination of ingredients and looked great.
DTS yet again had an unbelievable looking entry.
Geeme very unique
Scovies tower of food pleasure
Keys fresh looking pita
List goes on and on

Seriously, the hardest vote yet. Probably because of there being so many fantastic eggs.
tfergy, Rocketman, DTS, Sicman and Musky were in my top 5 (see why I had a hard time?).
In the end, the Croissant won be over. Spicy sausage, Bacon, eggs all on a Croissant? and Kraken? H E L L O !
tfergy, keep entering these things, man, you got it! BIZ you too!
So much good things to say about EVERY SINGLE ENTRY. Everybody did an awesome breakfast sandwich.
I wish I would have shown my sammy plated.
I never would have thought people would think that picking it up with your hands and getting all messy was the way to go.
I laid each half face down on a plate, pulled the skewer and went at it with a knife and fork. Oh well.
Thanks for the compliments anyway!
I'll see you in Loveland Colorado RM...

No way dude, come on, the tower is what is impressive, and if you can't imagine how you would actually eat that, you have no imagination.
There's still time! Good luck!
HAHA I think tfergy has earned several second place votes...not at all an insult, especially in this throwdown.
So many people have mentioned tf as a contender - this is not to be ignored bro! I see a multiple crown winner soon.
And damn DTS, how did I overlook how friggin awesome your entry looked?!?!?!
I'm still pulling for Rocketman, the best in my opinion, but geez this might be the most competitive throwdown ever, no lie!!!!

Agreed, this was epic. As you can see, no clear runaway winner, and some amazing ones, behind. That's how you know. Ditto on doing again.
VOTE!
VOTE!
All jokes aside, (and since no one bribed me) I have to again say that there are truly no losers here. This was an epic TD and probably the one in which I saw the most dishes I would love to try, even Scovie's "leaning tower of heart attack".
I absolutely love breakfast and was amazed by the creativity shown. If there was an "outside the box" award I would have given it to Geeme for her amazing pie sammich (wow, that sounded dirty)
But at the end of the day and after carefully reviewing every entry again, I too went with DTS's New York Brioche Brekkie Sammie - best sweet/salty/eggy thing - even though I'd have to use a knife & fork for all that ooze, Geeme will be tickled to know that I did not deduct points for it, and in fact put it above the rest.
That said, it won by the slimmest of margins. I was awfully close to clicking on several others, and all of them made my mouth water with one exception (and only because I'm the only Jew you'll ever know who doesn't like lox, despite loving dry-smoke salmon). And even that one was awesome for the bear claw and preparation pics (so wanted to say really nice job Sum!)
n00bs: awesome job and several of you almost got my vote. I am somewhat intimidated by your entries - y'all got skillz to pay the billz and I now consider you worthy opponents for future TD's I try to enter.
DTS - you are the man, at least for the breaffas sammich.
