Mothers Day Pancake Breakfast Update

Pancake Charlie’s Crew was up to the task this past Mothers Day. Over 100 guests showed up for the 27th anniversary of this culinary delight. Of course it couldn’t fail; we had our secret mixture of ingredients blended by Alan Purcell and Jack Meehan. We had those masters of the heat, Bobby Quinn and Dennis Sullivan who manned the grill and produced perfect pancakes all morning. Kevin Morgan kept everybody in order and still managed to serve up the sausages and corned beef hash. The answers to the questions on everybody’s minds… “No, he didn’t eat all the hash”, “Yes, he tried”, “Yes, he left with a doggy sack”.

Walt Farrell was serious about his squeeze this morning. Fresh made coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice was the order of the day. Frank Lynch traded his beer tap for a syrup ladle. I heard it took two days to peel the sticky ladle out of his hand when all was said and done.

Thanks to Patrick and Top Hat Catering for his perfect eggs to order. Very special thanks to his mother Kathy (who do you think taught him how to make perfect eggs). Nobody got by the door without paying though we did refund mothers if the baby was on their own formula.

Truly a Great Day

As well as the Mother's Day Breakfast here's a little more food for thought.
