Premise
Joe Pera takes viewers for Saturday morning breakfast at his favorite family restaurant.

Summary
It’s Saturday morning and Joe takes us to his favorite family restaurant. Before entering, he had an idea of what to eat for breakfast, but now he’s starting to question it.

Joe isn’t quite feeling the typical two-two-two breakfast special (two eggs, two slices of bacon, and two pancakes). He meets up with Gene, who teaches him about his breakfast crew. A breakfast crew is a group of living individuals who meet regularly for breakfast. Unfortunately, Joe sitting at the table might throw off their delicate balance and distinct personalities.

Over at the spinning cake case, Joe gets a bit lost in thought about the difference between a family diner and a restaurant. He's pulled back to reality when he sees his student, Drew.

Drew very nearly won the Green Apple Giveaway this past week, but it went to Lauren M. Drew’s Mom suggests the eggs benedict, but that’s too opulent for any day but Easter. Joe’s called over by the Melsky’s.

The Melsky family has an extra seat at the table. They tell Joe about their new house, but Mike gets frustrated when he breaks the egg yolk. He was so close to having The Perfect Egg Bite, which theoretically has the best distribution of flavors in a single bite with rye toast, butter, grape jelly, hash browns, ketchup, over-easy sunny side up egg. If only he could get the unbroken yolk into his mouth, which he fails at again. Joe leaves the table when Mike gets mad.

Joe then sits alone at a booth. Reading the menu, he still can't pick. Based on his two criteria (how hungry am I and do I like this?), he makes a choice. Pancakes!
