kibble korner: the original early breakfast

FB here, hi.

A quick memoir of the original early breakfast...

back in my hearst days, when I was working for every meal, you had to get up early to get the good stuff. oh sure, it was good to start with - I mean who wouldn't want an everett and jone's 2-way for breakfast? but if you missed out on that, the choices got slimmer and grimmer.

And there was competition, and it was fierce, I mean there were some real problem kats. they weren't even from the neighbohood you know? but they would just show up, ready to take what was ours. we usually stood down when we met them though, not because we were scared, but kuz we felt sorry for them (the only Breakfast Bin in their neighborhood was behind a southern Indian joint, which, inexplicably, does not cook with meat?!).

So anyway, the point is - the only reason they showed up at all as because there was something for them to show up for, and that's exactly what we eliminated. No sooner had the Everett and Jones Breakfast Bin been closed for the night, we'd have a pair of watchful eyes on it, waiting for the 'sweet spot' to open up. Always between 5:00 - 6:30 AM, the parking lot would quiet down, the sun would start to hint at rising.... and you know the rest.
