I’ve been quite the busy Breakfast Bachelor this month so far and it’s only December 3rd! If you’re following me on Facebook or Twitter (you really should be!), then forgive me for repeating myself, but yesterday I had the pleasure to cook a brunch for 4 through Kitchensurfing (check out my NYC profile!) and had … Continue reading »

Dinner: The Final Frontier
I know what you’re thinking: “Dinner!??” But this is THE BREAKFAST BACHELOR. ”What on earth could he be doing fixing dinner!?” Well, folks, I suppose the cat’s out of the bag (though not literally, because ours has spent the last day and a half hiding inside a discarded paper grocery bag in a vet-induced haze) … Continue reading »
Just an Update
It’s been another little while, hasn’t it? Changes are underway, and I suppose amid it all I haven’t found much else to say. My personal breakfasts have taken a backseat I suppose, and I’ve purchased way more iced coffee than I feel comfortable admitting. What’s gotten into me? Why aren’t I making pancakes in all … Continue reading »
Turn and Face the Strange
Confession: sometimes even the Breakfast Bachelor sleeps through breakfast. It’s a reality we all must come to terms with. Breakfast, while an often awe-inspiring daily repast, is simply not always attainable. Here in the midst of transitioning jobs, which with not a day left between may feel less like a slow fade and more like … Continue reading »
Blenders Are Magical
The title says it all. I recently was in dire need of a way to puree tomatoes and cucumbers, so I waltzed on over to Bed, Bath, & Beyond and picked up a Cuisinart blender/drink mixer/chopper/processor thing. It has 4 plastic cups that the blade screws onto, a chopping cup, and a 32 oz. blending … Continue reading »
My First Private Brunch Gig
This weekend was a landmark occasion for this Breakfast Bachelor. After countless pancakes, waffles, eggs, bacon, mimosas, lounging, mimosas, how many was that? … and half a year of blogging, I finally had the opportunity to prepare brunch in someone’s beautiful Manhattan apartment, and get paid for it! The wonderful team at Kitchensurfing hooked … Continue reading »
Classic French Toast & Roasted Pineapple
It’s the middle of the week. Swimming in cover letters, revised resumes, the sluggish scurf of a 9-hour workday, and maybe a little beer, I felt I was due for a pick-me-up. They happen in the unlikeliest of places. Sure, my kitchen is a pretty likely place for breakfast to spring up, but I hadn’t … Continue reading »
Braised Arugula & Some Memories
It’s been a rough couple of weeks for this Breakfast Bachelor. Upon the sudden passing of my grandfather, I found myself plucked from my New York nest and zipped back and forth to all of my former dwellings: Virginia, Illinois, and the final destination, Michigan. I spent time clinging bleary-eyed to my mother, soundlessly willing … Continue reading »
A Scone Saves the Day
There are two things I seem to be doing quite a lot recently: spending too many hours at the office, and making scones. I’m particularly fond of one of these things, and while I love my coworkers, diligent comrades that they are, it’s the scones I’m speaking of. In our industry, we go through four … Continue reading »
Put an Egg on It!
Eggs are magical things. Mark Bittman showed us recently (as if we didn’t already know) the limitless possibilities of our dear friend, the egg, and it only follows that I should follow suit with a billet-doux of my own to the champion savior of breakfasts around the world — so put an egg on it! … Continue reading »
