All part of a well balanced brunch

The ultimate Sunday morning breakfast/brunch should begin with bacon pancakes:

You could opt for a slightly healthier version of carb meets bacon concoction by simply adding bacon and maple syrup to oatmeal. Speaking of maple and bacon,
if you are like me and can't do anything until you've had a cup of Joe, then you should probably make a cup of maple bacon coffee first:

The smell alone will give you happy memories to live on for at least a week. I would argue, however, that the taste and smell of maple is much more prominent than anything resembling bacon. Thus, I recommend equalizing the taste with bacon coffee syrup.

It's not brunch though until you add a little alcohol into the mix. You know where this is going... Bakon Mary's!
• 1½ oz. Bakon Vodka in a pint glass filled with ice.
• Fill glass with tomato juice
• 1 dash each of celery salt and ground black pepper
• 2-4 dashes each of Worcestershire sauce and bacon hot sauce
•1/8 tsp. horseradish

For those of you who don't feel like cooking breakfast, you can always head out to Traif for heavenly bacon doughnuts.

or you can have brunch at my new favorite gastropub in Brooklyn, Strong Place. Sample their bacon chocolate chip pancakes. They also have a large selection of microbrews for only $5.

Stay tuned for a dinner and dessert bacon special.
