Chocolate Waffles and California Fruit Salad

Maia Daniel (presenter); Sarah Chapman As early as 5:30 in the morning, the smell of bacon wafts through the circus camp from the cookhouse tent. Performers and crew alike need a big, hearty meal before they begin the busy setup process. The breakfast menu might include cereal, fruit, sausage, pastries, eggs, and coffee. Come see how the circus performers start their day. Sarah Chapman joined Sailor Circus in Sarasota, Florida, at age twelve and has performed aerial acts for twenty years. She has since written and published four circus-themed cookbooks and a memoir.
