Posted in partnership with RaceTrac.
Curious about what gets your state going in the morning? Morning is a state of mind, don’t you think? You may be a traditional breakfast eater; coffee, donuts, egg sandwiches, bagels. I love breakfast, too, but you know what? Sometimes I love it for dinner! My husband, on the other hand, would never eat breakfast for dinner, unless it was at 3 am and we were still out! We don’t have many of those nights anymore. So when he’s traveling, my daughter and I will have eggs and pancakes. It’s so delicious, and I don’t really get why my husband doesn’t like it.
Though I love breakfast for dinner, sometimes I don’t feel like it in the morning. What’s wrong with a hot dog for breakfast?
There’s no wrong way to start the day right. ~ RaceTrac
I went into my local RaceTrac a few days ago and seeing those dogs sizzling on the rollers looked so good. Lots of toppings were available, too. How could I resist?
I’m not traditional in my toppings, either! Ketchup, diced onions, pickles and banana peppers. Yum!
And it looks like I’m not the only one who likes something other than traditional breakfast food in the morning. RaceTrac’s top sellers from 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. aren’t donuts, pastries, fruit, yogurt, and coffee. TracFanatics purchase all kind of different items during breakfast hours including hot dogs, energy drinks, lotto tickets and even bags of ice!
It might surprise you that Texas likes it spicy and might grab a jalapeno kolache in the morning. If you were in Georgia, you’d see people grabbing more traditional meals like Southern-style chicken biscuits. RaceTrac has a lot of markets, so to illustrate how unique the different areas can be, they created an infographic to show what gets their guests going in the morning.
Were you surprised by your state? I think it’s pretty cool how RaceTrac caters to the different markets. Floridians love baked goods like muffins and donuts, and the choices in the bakery case are pretty sweet!
And don’t forget Swirl World! Nothing turns around a bad day for me like frozen yogurt with lots of toppings! So many of your favorite packaged items are available to grab and go, too!
One thing I definitely agree with is coffee in the morning. No matter what I’m eating, there must be coffee! I love the choices at RaceTrac, and remember, for just a few more days, if you buy a breakfast sandwich, get any size coffee for $0.50. Hurry in as this ends on January 31.
I also appreciate the cozy sitting area so I can sit and enjoy my coffee and read the paper.

RaceTrac is AWESOME! We’ve stopped in several times to get gas and food while we drove through Florida, and we love it.

We always stop at RaceTrac before we head out on a road trip. They have something for everyone.
Marcie W. says
What a good selection of products to start the day off right. I go nowhere without coffee!
Liz Mays says
Yum! I can see why people like to stop in to RaceTrac in the morning. They have some delicious stuff!
Janell Poulette says
I didn’t realize that RaceTrac had all of these amazing options for breakfast. We don’t have one of these near me, but they do back home and i will be going to there soon, can’t wait to stop in for some coffee and maybe a hotdog!
Annemarie LeBlanc says
Coffee, coffee, and coffee. It takes two mugs of coffee for me to practically wake up in the morning. I don’t crave sweets, I’d rather have hot dogs or anything with meat and cheese, bacon and eggs. I did not know RaceTrac had all these goodies. Will make sure to stop by next time.

I’m in Florida and I’m about to leave to go get breakfast on the go. No joke, but it made me laugh that it was listed that way on the inforgraphic. 🙂

I often kid around with my husband.
He likes to eat all sorts of “non-breakfast” type foods for breakfast.
He has even eaten chili for breakfast.

Jeanine says
Wow wish we had one close. looks like so many great ways to start the day off right. I usually dont do much in the mornings and that needs to change, need a good fuel!
Veronica Solomon says
Oh the convenience. Can’t beat that
Kelly Stilwell says
Exactly Veronica!
Joyce Brewer says
A hot dog or two with no bun is a great low carb option for breakfast. There are several RaceTrac’s around Georgia.
Kelly Stilwell says
I agree, Joyce! And their hot dogs are so good! Thanks for stopping by!
Brianne says
Coffee is my number one to get me going in the morning. I’ve never thought of some of these for breakfast options! Love it!
Amanda Love says
Coffee and a good breakfast if I have enough time. I feel more productive when I’m able to eat what I want for breakfast, normally I’m fine with waffles or pancakes or some toast with my favorite jam.
