On this week's show, we head back to your table to talk about the forgotten meal in the culinary revolution: breakfast. From basics like bacon and eggs to more elaborate ideas for breakfast in bed with Sticky Bun French Toast, we take a closer look at the pleasures of the first meal of the day.

Ben Bergmann of Fickle Creek Farm in Elfland, North Carolina shows us around the farm and answers all the key questions about creating, buying, and cooking with the perfect egg. Find out more about Fickle Creek Farm B&B.

Tomas Krag, the creator of the blog Bacontarian, fills us in on how to define bacon and then how to find the best of it. Check out the recommendations from him and his Bacontarian team.

Finally, we put these great ingredients together and explore many others by talking to Maryana Vollstedt, author of The Big Book of Breakfast: Serious Comfort Food for Any Time of the Day She introduces us to Sticky Bun French Toast and offers a recipe for Brunch Bake to feed a crowd.
