Licensed To Grill

TGICB…Like the old John Denver song said I had cakes on the griddle and a rather large griddle that could hold 48 full size flapjacks. It was the Lion's Club's Annual Pancake Festival. This was fun. I wish everyone could have stopped by to see me in action. Without braggin’….heck, it’s my blog, I’m gonna brag.

I earned several titles during my 5 hour shift including Pancake Pro, Young Griddle Master and Golden Boy. The Tech sorority sisters who volunteered to pass out these hot cakes were all amazed at how perfectly golden they were. Not brown, but the official Pantone-145 golden shade of perfection. These crepes-on-steroids were not only the perfect color, but were as round as a manhole cover. Other veteran Lions around me dropped their batter on the hot surface and got a bottle-cap look with postage stamp like edges. Not the Fantastic Flipper! I even took on a few requests for Mickey Mouse shaped pancakes to the amazement of those around me. Talk about customer service!

Call it beginners luck if you will, I call it an acquired skill. Whatever your perspective, it was a stack full of fun for me. (Only wish the picture was better, the heat coming off the grill blurred the lens I think...or the fact that it was a camera phone.)
