Kristen Kish: "Every summer, the city of Calgary hosts the world's largest outdoor rodeo, the Calgary Stampede, which has been taking place since 1912. Millions of people come from all over the world to enjoy the Calgary Stampede. And, of course, a traditional pancake breakfast.
In the early days of the stampede, one of its founders, Guy Weidick, and his friend Jack Moulton created the famous chuck wagon races. And to help promote this new event, they decided to pull their chuck wagons into the center of and start flipping pancakes for anyone that came by.
The tradition still stands to this day. Churches, restaurants, small businesses all over town throw their very own pancake breakfasts.
So for today's quick fire challenge, you'll have 45 minutes to create your very own pancake breakfast. Why 45 minutes for pancakes? Because you won't just be feeding us today. Since a traditional pancake breakfast usually feeds the town, today you'll be feeding 50 diners.
Also, we don't want you just to make a pancake, Don't just put some syrup on it, and call it a day. We're looking for something a little more creative. Put your own spin on it. And we want handheld pancakes. No utensils will be used.
