I love to do my share of research about such things, and I appreciate learning new things about...well, anything...but especially food. Some of this does concern me.

Why You Should Think Twice Before Eating Hotel Eggs

I love eating breakfast any time of the day, but I especially love enjoying breakfast buffets when I'm on vacation.

But no one wants to deal with the horrors of food poisoning.

But it's a bummer for financial reasons, as well.

Traveling can be quite expensive, so running across a place that offers free breakfast for the family can relieve the family's travel budget. At least you won't have to worry about paying for ONE meal of the day, right?
