Man Coffee
� 24 fluid ounces filtered water
� � cup freshly ground coffee
� Pinch kosher salt
Bring water to a boil in an electric kettle or in the microwave. Meanwhile, place the ground coffee and salt into a French press carafe. Pour the water over the grounds. Place the plunger in the carafe, but do not press down. Brew for 4 minutes, then slowly push the plunger down. Drink immediately, or hold in a thermos for up to 3 hours.
Makes 4 (6-ounce) cups of coffee.

Man Bacon
� 3 rashers thick-sliced bacon, cut in half
Heat a waffle iron to medium heat. Lay the bacon on the waffle iron and close lid. Cook for 2� minutes. Move the bacon pieces so the unseared areas now come in direct contact with the metal. Close the lid and cook for another 2� to 5 minutes, depending on desired crispness. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve rendered fat for another use. Depending on the bacon, you will have 1 to 3 tablespoons of fat.
Makes 1 serving.

Man Eggs
� 2 eggs
� 1 tsp unsalted butter
� Pinch kosher salt
� Pinch freshly ground black pepper
Place an 8-inch nonstick skillet over low heat for 2 minutes. Crack the eggs into a custard cup. Melt the butter in the pan and, once it foams, gently add the eggs. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Cover and cook for 3 minutes for slightly runny yolks and 5 to 6 minutes for set yolks. Serve immediately on a warm plate.
Makes 1 serving.

Man Hash Browns
� 4 ounces Idaho or Russet potatoes, scrubbed, rinsed, but not peeled
� Pinch kosher salt
� 1 Tbsp bacon fat
Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. While the pan is heating, grate the potato on the largest hole of a box grater. Squeeze the grated potatoes in a tea towel to remove excess moisture.
Add the fat to the pan and scatter evenly with the potatoes. Sprinkle with salt and cook for 5 minutes without disturbing. Decrease the heat to low, flip the potatoes, and cook for another 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
Makes 1 serving.
