A Review by The Famous Chef Thomas July 2024

First Impressions

During a recent visit to a local breakfast spot, The Famous Chef Thomas ordered a classic morning trio: pancakes, egg and cheese, and chicken sausage. However, to his surprise and dismay, the pancakes arrived with cheese. Who in their right culinary mind, The Famous Chef Thomas wondered, would want cheese on their pancakes?

The Ruling

Corner Bakery Cafe stumbled at the start, delivering cheese where no cheese was warranted. But in the kitchen, as in life, it is not the mistake that defines you — it is the recovery.

The staff corrected course swiftly. The revised plate met the standard. And The Famous Chef Thomas respects a kitchen that listens.

Cheese on pancakes, however, remains unforgivable in principle.
