Caffe Beano @ 17 Avenue SWA Stampede breakfast is traditional during Stampede week, the annual Calgary rodeo that is held in early July. Visitors are treated to a free pancake breakfast and country-western music at venues all over town. According to stampede lore (http://www.stampedecaravan.com/history.html) a chuckwagon driver named Jack Morton started the breakfast tradition. Now there are stampede breakfasts all over the city, sponsored by churches, clubs, companies, eateries, and even neighborhoods. They engender goodwill and not a little advertising. However, not all stampede breakfasts are created equal, apparently. Connoisseurs know where GOOD free stampede breakfasts are. The Caffe Beano one came with Ardis' recommendation.
It's cold and rainy today. A cup of Earl Grey tea hits the spot
Not even rain dampens a stampede celebration! And the band played on
Sweethearts
That's the stampede spirit!
The breakfast queue
Caffe Beano's cheerful departure from artery clogging pancakes and bacon smothered in maple syrup: whole wheat strata casserole, fruit salad, and stewed apples with granola and a sliver of cheese
You wouldn't forget your best friend, now, would you?
Yee-haw
