If I was just waking up from some procedure or whatever, and I was given this plate, I would be so happy.
Thanks for giving a fuck about the patients, chef.

This would make any patients day. Looks bomb!

As a doctor for 30 years I have to say that’s an awesome looking breakfast in its own right. As a hospital breakfast it’s beautiful.

I cook at a nursing home. I know there are more restrictions on what/how you can cook. Good on you for making it look appealing.

That’s as good as you can hope for at a hospital. Can put that on the menu.
If it were a normal diner, I’d say even more crisp on the taters, a little less done on the eggs, add cheese. Bacon’s kinda thin but that’s a supplier choice.

Former admitted hospital patient here, I wish half my meals had looked that good.

Proof that hospital food doesn’t have to suck. That looks delicious

Background, been unhealthy for much of my life ranging from annual bronchitis into pneumonia from 7 to about 13, assorted broken bones, sprains and strains from a very active youth and teen years, major 18 month broken neck and back with rehab, to the most recent stay. A dozen different hospital systems.
Old school pre mid 90s, yes food was pretty dire. I am pleasantly surprised at very specifically Yale New Haven Hospital. they have shifted to a menu with a nutrition consult (allergies) including available snack of humus and veg sticks. The willingness to go off menu to get food into people instead of restricting me to random ground beef something and slide me a couple hard boiled eggs made my cachexia more managable.

Long story short – I had a really urgent abdominal surgery with a lot of complications. For days, when I could finally use my mouth to eat, I could only have unseasoned clear liquids.
This reminds me of the meal I ordered for my first “plain foods” day and I wanna say thank you. It was simple, but to someone that can’t handle anything more it was the whole world. I appreciate you for nourishing those that need it most!!!

A couple months ago I had a med side effect that gave me a SEARING migraine and spiked my blood pressure. I went to the ER and was admitted overnight. Blah blah blah details. When I woke up long enough to eat breakfast I was in no mood to complain. It looked great and tasted good. I can’t even remember what exactly it was. I dozed back in and out of awake for a few hours and lunch came. Again, looked great and tasted great (chicken pot pie).
It really helps to make a shit situation feel a little bit better. Thanks for making things happen out there OP!

Give me a half a stick of room temperature butter and I’d be one happy dude.

I would devour that without giving it a second thought. Thank you, Chef!

I’ve been a hospital nurse for almost twenty years – that breakfast looks great! Thank you for caring!

No fruit? Could be sugar reduced diet?

You can’t do that. That’s too good for hospital food. You’ll make people even more depressed after having that then going back to normal hospital food lol jk.
Looks great.

Worked the line for 10 years and now I’m an ER Nurse. This is hard to believe that’s in a hospital, well done!

Chef, that’s a beautiful breakfast. Thanks for caring. I was in hospital after a bad accident earlier this year, didn’t eat solid food for a few days and then I got to have a caring, well plated breakfast of simple scrambled eggs and toast that i will remember as one of the best meals of my life. What you’re doing is important. Thank you.

A few years ago, I was hospitalized and NPO for a week…I couldn’t even suck on a handful of fucking ice chips. (Yes, I’m still angry…lol!!!) When the medical team finally cleared me to eat, it was after hours. I was crushed. Someone from the kitchen called my room, asked what I wanted to eat, and delivered a meal anyway. It was the best grilled chicken with mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli, three bean salad with Italian vinaigrette and butterscotch pudding for dessert that I’ve ever eaten. I was discharged the next afternoon after a few more meals…and yes, they called every four hours to take my order like it was a restaurant! Bless your heart, sincerely. This looks great and will improve someone’s health and make their day!

I’ve always been told I’m fucking weird because I enjoyed hospital and airline food. I remember eating all my dad’s when he was recovering from cancer. Thoroughly enjoyed my meals on quantas flights. Etc etc.
That said, I’d eat the shit out of this. Do you deliver? I’m a bit peckish.

Well familiar with hospital food, and thank you Chef. Looks like a painting compared to some of the garbage my family has received
