A Sunset Breakfast at the University of Georgia

I was really surprised yesterday when I received a beautiful commemorative plate with their emblem from the University of Georgia. They had featured my Pumpkin Pancakes at their recent Sunset Breakfast, (October 13, 2011) an annual event. The recipe was adapted to serve 8700 students. They used 1151 lbs of flour! They served the pancakes with Honey Pecan Butter. 'The focus of the event was to give the dining experience of breakfast at a Bed and Breakfast establishment from across the US. The menu featured 21 recipes from prominent Bed and Breakfat locations" (J Michael Floyd, Executive Director).

  2. I can't believe they served 8700 students. Boy, am I glad I didn't have to do the cooking. At my Inn, I'm wiped out after cooking for 10.

  3. Sounds like your Bed and Breakfast is a well known one. Congratulations on the university using your recipe for the students.

  4. @Jewel...I don't know how well known it is...maybe in some circles, cause I've been in business 17 years and have a lot of repeat guests. Thanks for the comment.
