When will the Breakfast Club reunite?

L to R - Dave, Kathryn, Guest Mark Pierret, Amanda, Jay, and special guest, the Six Flags Dancing Old Guy (often imitated by Jay)


A little known group of breakfast aficionados gather weekly to participate in a gastronomical bonanza.

What started as a, "hey, what are you guys doing for breakfast next weekend?" has transformed into a social event (pronounced healthy competition) for two couples.

The whole thing started quite innocently enough. We met at the Hilton's restaurant. The food was ok but our server kept rushing us. We were enjoying each other's company and wanted to linger. Mr. Efficiency needed the table for his next mark.

We decided that we should meet at one of our homes next time for a nice meal and plenty of relaxed conversation. The theme music from Jaws could be heard softly playing in the distance. Little did we know what awaited us.

The first few breakfasts were nice. We did the basic egg, potato, coffee and juice thing. Then, a spark of competition arose between the couples.

You could almost detect the ritual size-up as each couple explored opportunities for the next event - secretly they also looked for vulnerabilities. "I bet they don't have a Belgian waffle maker," said one couple. "What if we purchased a panini grill," exclaimed the other couple.

Then...it was on! This was a take no prisoner game.

Some of the most creative and absolutely delicious delights have come from the breakfast club. Some examples include:

• Caramel-soaked baked French toast.
• Breakfast panini.
• Breakfast burritos.
• Country breakfast with world-class Pierret potatoes!
• Steak and eggs served with salsa fresca on sizzling cast iron plates.
• Amanda's ham and portobello breakfast calzone.
• Belgian waffles (regular and pumpkin)

Most meals are accompanied by home made seasonal fruit and coffees from the world.

OK, so now you're thinking...who the hell are these people...the Rockefellers or worse, perhaps Julia Child's secret protegees?

Nope - Dave, Kathryn, Jay and Amanda - great friends who enjoy good times and great meals. Each session concludes with Jay's infamously talented party-pic.

Would you please pass the sticky buns?
