[Photographs: Adam Kuban] Matt's Big Breakfast 801 North 1st Street, Phoenix AZ 85004 (at East McKinley; map); 602-254-1074; mattsbigbreakfast.com My recent pizza tour of the West Coast included a quick, 22-hour stop in Phoenix, where, before leaving town, I visited Matt's Big Breakfast. The eponymous owner is Matt Pool, who started this popular breakfast spot shortly after leaving Bar Bianco. Bar Bianco is the watering hole that pizzaman Chris Bianco opened next door to his legendary Pizzeria Bianco, where the thinking has always been use only the best ingredients and prepare them in a simple manner that lets them shine on their own. Unsurprisingly, Pool learned this lesson well and employs the same philosophy at Big Breakfast. So along...

This savory pannekoek almost resembles a pizza. [Flickr: Greta B.] It's important to know all the members of the pancake family. Pannekoeken are Dutch-style pancakes that, like crepes, can go the sweet or savory route, but have a little more heft since they're filled with anything from mushrooms and bacon to Gouda and apple slices. It's kind of like an omelette except with a pancake foundation. They're also enjoyed plain with just some butter and sugar or stroop (syrup) on top. The San Francisco Chronicle had a nice profile on the anytime-meal yesterday. The recipe for the plain pannekoek is easy, just an eggs-milk-flour-salt batter, and the fillings are up to you.

[Photo: Robyn Lee] Who knew that the humble pancake would make this week's Weekend Cook and Tell one of the most popular topics yet? No matter whether you call them—hot cakes, flapjacks, or griddlecakes—this pan-fried treat was the inspiration for some pretty great responses this week. Let's hope that our love for pancakes turns out better than this line that BKNYDan quotes from iconic comedian Mitch Hedberg: "As a comedian, it's important to both start and finish the show strong. I can't be like pancakes: all exciting at first, but by the end you're f___ing sick of them!" betteirene has an all-purpose batter that is used for everything, from aebleskivers, strawberry shortcake pancakes, waffles, and bacon-cheddar waffles. A cast...

What do people do while waiting for an incredibly long pancake to form? Keep reminding each other "this is so cool" followed by, "this is stupid guys, this is just stupid." Make noises. Search for more plates. Crack that's-what-she-said jokes. Wish for three arms. Keep looking for plates. And when the pancake is done forming? Roll the snake of a thing up and take a jaw-stretching bite (probably worth three pancakes alone). The folks behind the Gizmodo Gallery, an interactive wonderland of spiffy contraptions in New York City recently, decided hey, let's make a stupidly long pancake. The video, after the jump....

Dinner Tonight contributor Blake Royer shares his first Korean barbecue experience over on The Paupered Chef. "For days afterwards, I could taste the spicy, sweet, marinated short ribs between my teeth." He was inspired to go home and make pajeon, a simple egg-and-flour pancake....

"No eggs, no buttermilk, no baking powder. How simple is that?" If you missed Sarah Karnasiewicz's excellent piece in Salon last month on preserving, it's worth going back to read. Like Sarah, I was also bitten by the jamming bug this season. But while Sarah made a transcendent batch of Kentucky bourbon strawberry jam, I was less successful. My strawberry-port jam was more like strawberry-port soup. It tasted intensely fruity and addictively sweet, but there was no way it would ever adhere to a piece of toast—not even one that had already been slicked with sticky peanut butter. There was only one thing to do: when life gives you six jars of runny jam, you make lots of pancakes....

I found out about the glorious pancake-making machine ChefStack through an IM conversation with Serious Eats intern Grace. Observe: Grace: http://www.chefstack.com/ Grace: Looks crazy Me: WUT Me: WUT Me: IT POOPS PANCAKES Me: PLOP PLOP PLOP Grace: Hahaaha Me: AHAHAHAH Me: HUH Grace: Hahaha omg don’t have a seizure! And that's what I sound like when you chat with me through IM about pancakes—my IQ plummets by about 100 points. The ChefStack—or as I like to call it, the Pancake Plooper—makes pancakes at a rate of 200 pph (pancakes per hour) and will set you back $3,500. Interested in owning one of these babies?

Editor's Note: Nikki Goldstein, longtime friend of Serious Eats and our newest contributor, will be checking in with a different kitchen gadget every week. Please welcome Nikki! Few would dare question the power of pancakes as comfort food--what's better than waking up to the smell of warm batter puffing up into cakey vehicles for syrup and jam? If you thought this was the pinnacle of Sunday brunch, meet the aebelskiver. It's a warm, doughy concoction that essentially crosses a pancake with a jelly doughnut. They're relentlessly addicting. While many trek to the few eateries that make these fresh (including Aunt Else's in the Twin Cities area, Shopsin's in New York City, and almost any place in Solvang, California), aebelskivers are...

Bananas, blueberries, and apples are all pretty standard pancake additions, so why not peaches? Olga at Mango & Tomato stirs cubed ripe peaches and mini chocolate chips into her usual pancake batter. It's pretty hard to look at this picture and not smile. We're getting into stone fruit season—any other peachy breakfasts out there?...
