Communal Pancake is not just a quirky name that seems to be an ode to breakfast food. No, it is a sentiment, a reminder, a love letter we are writing to our dearest friends. We would often meet up for brunch at our local greasy spoon after late-night concerts our friends and significant others played. The group usually shared, what we called, a cinnamon roll for the table, but one morning, cinnamon rolls were not an option. So, instead, we ordered one large pancake that coined the term “communal pancake”. That morning, in particular, stays with all of us and it remains a symbol of our community and our friendships.
