The Story behind “Lady Pancake & Sir French Toast”

Josh Funk and Brendan Kearney have launched a fabulicious food fight masterpiece! If you’re intrigued about this yummy battle of epic proportions, read what Josh has to say about the story behind this tasty Story:

The inspiration for the story came from my kids arguing about what I should make for breakfast on weekend morning.

One said pancakes, the other said French toast. And it went on and on.
I checked the freezer, and all we had were waffles.

It was on the way to the diner that I thought of the idea.
And I asked the kids, what would a pancake and French toast fight about. And one of them said syrup.

To this day, I can't remember which said it. And they both think they were the one.
And so now, we argue about that. (See how it comes full circle).

Run to your local bookstore and get ready for the most exciting breakfast of your life!
