Do you have a secret morning/breakfast routine or habit? If not, how do you get ready for the day?

On Sunday mornings, my cousin and I drive to pick-up bagels for our wives. On the other days, I get to work and start tasting all the ingredients; it’s called quality control.

Tell us why will you win the Breakfast Battle!

We are bringing tropical flavors of South East Asia to your morning!

What’s your favorite breakfast cocktail or beverage? Any reason? 

Manhattan with Crown Royal. Greatest beverage on the face of the earth. Sweet, though, rugged and slightly bitter. Perfect morning beverage – it’s all about the balance!
