WHAT ABOUT TOAST AND CEREAL?

I've never been much of an indoor cook. I love to grill hamburgers, brats, steaks, even chicken on the barbie as they say Down Under, but somehow I never mastered the range. Oh, eggs, I suppose I can handled well, but they're not much of a challenge. And a microwave is easy, too. Ok, Kids, so I once nuked a piece of sausage so bad the cat refused to eat it. But as I was saying...

Starbucks has taken off and who'd a thunk it? How could you amass an empire based almost solely on coffee? Well, they have.

My idea never got off the entrapeneural ground. My idea, hatched in 1978 was to have a drive -thru cereal and toast restaurant. Why not? There are plenty of other specialty shops. And besides, who doesn't love cereal and toast?

I tossed it around to some of my students. They thought it was goofy. Hey, but back then they'd have thought the idea of Starbucks equally crazy.

Specialty cereals and toast on all kinds of breads and bagels. It could happen. Maybe if I added turkey bacon....
