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

This is going to sound terrible, but I usually have a little bite of candy, or something I probably shouldn’t in the morning because I figure I can be good the rest of the day, and it’s like it never happened.

Tell us why will you win the Breakfast Battle!

We have such a fantastic brunch at Colicchio & Sons, and the dish we’ll be preparing is just one of our terrific offerings that brings our regular guests back again and again.

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

I love a good Bloody Mary with a lot of horseradish. I’ve always loved tomato juice, and really enjoy anything that’s on the salty and spicy side.
