Why are hotel eggs always so runny?

Because they’re not real eggs.

I didn't say I didn't like them. I like them fine. I just wonder why that's a thing with hotel breakfasts. They're always way runnier than you'dusually get at, like, a diner.

Diners make them to order, or in any case in smallish batches. Hotels make huge buckets of eggs at a time.

I am talking about breakfast buffets, and that's been the case in pretty much every hotel I've ever stayed at, everywhere I've been in the world, even the really nice ones. That's what I find curious. Maybe there's like a Hotel Egg Code.

if the eggs are running, you should consider the same

Yeah, those budget hotels in the US I mentioned are also buffets, and you can usually have scrambled or hard-boiled.

I feel like we may be missing each other's point 'cause I don't know what hard boiled eggs have to do with anything. I am talking about scrambled eggs specifically

5-star hotels in the US that offer breakfast buffets also have super-runny scrambled eggs in my experience

My wife makes fantastic ramen all the time.

Get me her recipe please.

Sure thing. I know she mixes it up all the time. But I'll get the basics for you and also some suggestions, too.

I'm pretty pumped for this.

Hey trag, I'm sorry I haven't followed up on this yet. It's been a hectic week and I haven't had time to chat with her about this. But I haven't forgotten.

Do 5-Star hotels offer breakfast buffets?

Some of them do, yeah

Weird. Seems to me that one of the qualifiers for a 5-Star Hotel would be dinning/room service but no buffet. A buffet feels... 3-Star at best.

That's crazy. Breakfasts buffets are offered by 4 and 5 star hotels too. Some are nicer / more complete than others.

I love breakfast buffets

Hey, man, I got nothing against a breakfast buffet.

i only had a total of three meals there last weekend, but i can safely say charleston, sc is a food mecca.
