The lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer kept some of the WBC away this week. But Sylvia and Reid braved the heat to sample the offerings at the charming Cooked & Co. in Scarsdale. You know the drill.

Who is this Justin Thyme and more importantly, how was his brunch? And who’s Susan? The WBC found out…sort of.

The WBC has become wary of certain restaurants that offer brunch. At specific types of cuisines (like Moroccan, Mexican), we’ve found that the offerings for brunch are just meals pulled from the regular menu with eggs piled on top. Would this be the case at Roasted Peppers? Thankfully not, and for the first time in awhile, we all left pleasantly surprised.

The WBC trip to Auray Gourmet in Larchmont was so civilized, so peaceful, so sophisticated. Why, you ask? Because it was just the gals of the WBC. Read on to find out how the meal was for these ladies who breakfast.

The WBC is so excited about our partnership with Small Bites. A summary of our meals will appear on Small Bites the first Friday of each month. Check out our introductory post!
And to kick things off, read our list of the Top 5 places to take mom for Mother’s Day, which appeared in the May 9 issue of The Journal News.
We’re so excited, someone just had to punch Jeffrey in the face:
Thanks as always to all our readers. It’s the positive feedback we get that keeps us motivated to keep breakfasting our way through Westchester.
Happy Breakfasting, everyone!!

Emma’s Ale House in White Plains has been on our brunch list for a long time, probably since the WBC started. So, this was a visit two years in the making. Fun fact: According to its website, Emma’s is apparently the only restaurant in White Plains to have been Green Restaurant Association for its environmental efforts. Pair that with the charming dog-theme to the decor, and Emma’s seems like a wonderful place to dine. Were we satisfied?

End of Freeman Alley, off Rivington between the Bowery and Chrystie (Map) New York NY 10002 212.420.0012 http://freemansrestaurant.com
It’s not every day that a member of the WBC hits a milestone age. This time it was Sylvia’s turn (but to be polite, we won’t say which milestone–let’s just say it’s over 10 but under 90). So, the WBC had to celebrate in grand style, lest we feel the wrath of our breakfast czar. What would we do? Well, nothing says celebration like a birthday brunch in Manhattan, and Sylvia selected Freemans, a rustic-style hipster haven tucked down an alley in the Lower East Side. Freemans offers a full menu of hearty brunch items ranging from standard fare like eggs, pancakes, and mac and cheese to more creative dishes like Devils on Horseback and smoked trout, both of which were enjoyed by members of the WBC. And if you just need a little absinthe to go with your bacon (like Reid), Freemans offers a range of cocktails to wash down your meal. So, what did we think? Did the Devils on Horseback gallop away? And how old is Sylvia? (We’ll never tell…and no, that’s not an intentional reference to Gossip Girl.) Read on to find out.

51 Rte 100 Katonah, NY 10536 (Map) (914) 864-7282 http://www.muscootfarm.org/
The WBC found itself shortstaffed this week. Reid was off in Vietnam spending Dong like there was no tomorrow; Andrew was off running some race; and Pat, well, he’s still in exile in Minnesota. So, to fill the void we invited some very fun friends to join us at a family-friendly/kid-friendly/Jeff-friendly pancake breakfast up at Muscoot Farm in Katonah. We ate pancakes, and then saw some piggies and horsies and chickens. And Shelley accidentally taught a 2-year-old to say “Jeffrey scary.” Which may be true, but probably not a great thing to teach a kid to say. But how were the pancakes, you ask? Well, you know the drill…
