We all know Kevin Bacon for his storied acting and musical career, but today, we're talking about his take on another subject: breakfast. His go-to morning meal doesn't involve the cured meat that we associate with his last name, but rather, something quite different. It'd be one thing if his favorite breakfast was waffles, a nutritional shake, or cereal, but this literal mash-up of morning favorites has some people scratching their heads.
In a video he posted to Instagram in 2023, Bacon shows the world his one-of-a-kind culinary specialty. He first starts by soft-boiling an egg, and as that burbles right along, he prepares a serving of hot cereal — he indicates he's a fan of this specific . The taste is similar to oatmeal because it is made from the outer layer of the whole oat grain.
As he waits for both to cook, he , the beloved caffeinated beverage popular in Argentina and neighboring South American countries. Then Bacon says, "So now here's the part where it gets weird. Hang on.
" He places the peeled soft-boiled egg in a bowl, spoons some hot cereal on top, dashes some classic vinegary Tabasco in (which might just be ), and puts a healthy pat of butter on top. Then he gets to mixing it, turning it all into a homogenous mush. He eats a big spoonful, saying, "Oh, man.
It's going to be a good day." Instagram commenters had plenty to say about Kevin Bacon's breakfast Some social media commenters weren't exactly impressed by Kevin Bacon's cooking skills. One person commented that they liked his movies but not his breakfasts.
Another said, "Definitely weird, but in the nicest of ways!" Yet another commenter agreed, "Oh ya. That got weird," followed by three laughing emojis. You get the idea — though there were a few commenters who were decidedly more intrigued.
"Never had an egg with oats hmmm might try that in the morning ...
thanks!" said one commenter, while another simply said, "Looks amazing." Granted, savory oatmeal is indeed a thing, and it's obviously not unheard of ( ). But I think the idea of completely mashing it with a soft-boiled egg is what really put it over the edge for a lot of people, which is interesting, since eggs are commonly eaten alongside oatmeal for that protein boost.
Who knows, though, maybe people would have stepped off Bacon's case if he just added, well, bacon to it. Recommended.
