A better way to breakfast

Having collectively spent probably close to a century in the innkeeping business, Distinctive Inns of New England  members have just about seen it all.  Yet, after watching the video entitled Cooking breakfast in a hotel room where the “star” of the video demonstrates how to make “porridge” in a coffee maker and cook eggs and bacon with an iron, we can all only shake our heads.  The piece de resistance is the cutlery and plates she created from tin foil. Click on the link above or the photos here to watch the video.

While we’re all for Yankee ingenuity, going on vacation, staying in a hotel and then cooking eggs and bacon in foil with an iron and eating off of foil plates just doesn’t seem like a very relaxing way to start the day. Creative?  Yes.  Relaxing and delicious?  Hardly.

One of the best parts of staying at a country inn is waking to a hot cup of coffee and gourmet breakfast.  The priceless part about a country inn vacation is the fact that breakfast waiting for you when you’re ready to enjoy it.  No cooking, no clean-up, just gourmet breakfasts – often served fireside – the perfect way to start the day!

The B&B industry has embarked on a campaign to introduce travelers to today’s inns and B&Bs called Better Way To Stay.  The goal of the campaign is to bust the myths about inns and B&Bs and to help travelers understand today’s B&B experience.  Wouldn’t the star of this video prefer a fabulous three course breakfast to her coffee pot porridge and tin foil forks?  The best part of all is that breakfast is included with the stay at a B&B or country inn, which is generally on par or even less than hotels in the same vicinity. No need to soft boil eggs in the coffee pot; awake to a fabulous breakfast after the perfect night’s sleep at a country inn, often for the same price as the nearby hotel!

We say, find a better way to stay to this in-room chef.  Soggy tin foil bacon and runny eggs cooked in your coffee pot are not the way to start your day! Here’s  the better way to breakfast from DINE inns offering the better way to stay!
