Don't shoot the messenger on this one! I am simple sharing how crazy other people are!

I don't know about you but bacon is the center of my breakfast. According to this recent survey, I guess I am the only one that thinks this way!

A new poll asked people which breakfast foods are the most overrated . . . underrated . . . and "appropriately rated."

Over 10,000 people voted in the poll, and here's how the foods are ranked . . . from MOST- to least-overrated:

1.  Avocado Toast . . . 57% said it's overrated.

2.  Smoothie Bowls . . . 53%

3.  Bacon . . . 36%.  Maybe it's just that people think bacon already gets a lot of love.  49% said it's appropriately rated, and only 13% said its underrated.

4.  Donuts . . . 33%

5.  Yogurt Parfaits . . . 32%

6.  A tie between Cereal and Biscuits & Gravy, which are both at 30%.

8.  Oatmeal . . . 29%

9.  Scrambled Eggs . . . 26%

10.  Eggs Benedict . . . 25%

11.  Grits . . . 24%

12.  Pancakes . . . 23%.  They're the most "appropriately rated."

13.  French Toast . . . 22%

14.  Breakfast Burritos . . . 21%.  They're the most UNDERRATED.

15.  Cinnamon Rolls . . . 20%

16.  Croissants . . . 19%

17.  A tie between Bagels & Cream Cheese and Muffins, which are both at 18%.

19.  A tie between Waffles and Hash Browns, which are both at 14%.

I am 100 percent behind the top 2 on this list. My wife loves avocados toast and I just don't get it. I have always thought avocados tasted odd unless smashed up for guacamole!

Now let's break it down to just out state! Here is a great list of the favorite breakfast foods for each state. Once again, how the hell is bacon not the number one breakfast food!

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
