From CBS News' Fernando Suarez:

DES MOINES, IOWA -- Chelsea Clinton's coming out party as a campaign surrogate for her mother was over breakfast at Palmer's Deli and Market in Des Moines.

Hillary Clinton, her mother Dorothy Rodham and Chelsea sat with former Iowa Attorney General candidate Andy McGuire for a bite to eat before their day barnstorming across Iowa.

Chelsea said, "I'm happy to be here."

When asked if she was worried about Oprah drawing big crowds, Hillary Clinton said: "I'm having a good time. I'm not sure I'm going to eat all of this in front of you. That's my biggest - that's the only thing I'm concerned about right now."

For those keeping score: Hillary Clinton ordered the "Good 'ol Iowa" breakfast that apparently consists an omelette topped with cheese, buttered wheat toast and hash browns. Chelsea opted for the healthier egg white omellete instead. Sen. Clinton only had a few bites of her breakfast before a waitress swept in and took the plate away.
