Morning. Yeah. If you'd like to start your morning with more adventure breakfast, flair. This one is for you. Julia Joseph joins us now from Winds Bakery on Graham Avenue with the owners of this popular spot, Julia. What you got? Yes. Good morning guys. I'm here with Trigg and Josh and we are going. All right, let's see if I get it here. The scallion pancake, bacon, egg and cheese and mochi donuts. Did I get it? Right. Yes. Yes. Yes. All right. Those are their specialties here. So Josh start us off by telling me just about this awesome collaboration. This, this friendship has created here at Win on. Yeah. So, uh it's really a marriage of our friendship and our relationship kind of hanging out eating together. Um Drake's background is uh in uh cheffing ten's and uh in restaurants. And uh and so when we, when we met and hung out, uh we really bonded over Taiwanese cuisine. That's great. I love it. And so you said the specialty here, the scallion pancake, bacon, egg and cheese. Just a real quick wrap up. What is that? So, it's just our version of a New York City bacon, egg and cheese, you know, respect to the bodega, bacon egg and cheese. That's the goat. But this is our version on a scallion pancake uh kind of an illusion to Taiwanese uh pancakes and eggs in the morning. Um So uh yeah, that's what we have but it also goes with the mochi doughnut, which is Danielle Spencer's like famous Millet Mochi Pastry that Josh can tell you about amazing guys. Well, thank you so much for having us and as you guys head on to your next segment, we're gonna try some food, right? Mm I wanna, I wanna see you take a bite. Oh There. Cheers in the food. Oh.
