I remember the very first time our Ole Miss kiddo took us to this hole in the wall diner in Oxford, MS. The biscuits were amazing, the coffee was hot, and there was something called Tomato Gravy. Since then, we’ve made it a habit to enjoy breakfast at Big Bad Breakfast anytime we were in the vicinity. So, it was with great excitement that we saw the BBB sign appear on Hwy 72 in Madison. We’ve been twice since they’ve opened. And I’m a firm believer that there’s no such thing as a “bad” breakfast, but BBB is always extra good. Forget your average breakfast joint. Big Bad Breakfast isn’t just another spot for a quick stack of pancakes and a cup of joe. This brainchild of James Beard Award-winning chef John Currence takes the “most important meal of the day” to a whole new level, offering a Southern-inspired culinary experience that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you wanting more.
