Protein bars or shakes. The best, easiest, fastest, most balanced way to start the day. And we really dont have time to think of other things.

I always have cereal in the morning before I leave for work and if I am lucky, sometimes there is some Anson Mills oatmeal left in the kitchen when I come in. The morning cooks make oatmeal every morning for the office staff.

Nothing beats fruit loops cereal that i eat almost everyday while watching sportscenter.

Latte, two sugars and a granola bar, mmmmmmm

coffee

COFFEE!!!!!

My go-to breakfast as I try to prepare for the day, check my early morning emails, bathe my son, feed him and get him ready for school is usually crisp toast with excellent ingredients. The toast changes daily; from Thomas' English Muffins (only Thomas') to leftover french bread from last night's dinner to whole grain. But along with coffee (Metropolis from our restaurant; usually decaf) I'll have toast with real butter (salted) and a great English Marmalade (Dundee, Tiptree)and btw, 9 times out of 10 I just end up taking bites as I pass by the counter.

I rarely eat breakfast, but if I do, it's grits and eggs or a cinnamon roll from just about anywhere. That much sugar makes any cook a great one!

I eat a lot of eggs at work. They are fast, easy to make and pack a lot of nutrients. We have a cooler stocked full of fresh vegetables so it is easy to make scrambles. One of my favorite is scrambled eggs, crispy pork belly, asparagus, scallions and a little soy sauce. I always have homemade pickled jalapenos for the guys so i slice one up and put on top.

I have a 4 year old son that I take to school most days before heading into the restaurant/catering kitchens so most morning we do Greek yogurt with honey.Cheerios (for him) and some kind of granola or maybe a toasted bagel for me...and, of course, espresso (not for him...just for me)

Craig Harzewski, pastry chef: Yes, eats breakfast everyday. Today: one protien shake, sandwich of two toasted whole grain waffles with almond butter and strawberries, topped with maple syrup. At NAHA, made porridge (yes, porridge) and then a turkey sandwich - all before 10:30 am. Seriously.

Milk and Honey Granola and four shots of espresso over ice. That's breakfast.

I usually settle for bread and butter for breakfast since there is always that at the restaurant in the early morning hours

espresso

Almost every morning I eat Greek Yogurt with berries and sometimes cereal added.
(0 fat)Lots of protein, good dairy and I"m not hungry 10 minutes later.

we make fresh juice and smoothies. i found you can throw raw oatmeal in and it's yummy. toast good too. very euro!
