    It's all about eggs

    We could go on about breakfast forever. But since all good things must come to an end, we close out the show at the Santa Monica Farmers' Market with an ingredient arguably more essential to breakfast than any other: eggs. Peter Schaner talks about raising, feeding and caring for 500 egg-laying hens at his Southern California farm.

    We could go on about breakfast forever. But since all good things must come to an end, we close out the show at the Santa Monica Farmers' Market with an ingredient arguably more essential to breakfast than any other: eggs. Peter Schaner talks about raising, feeding and caring for 500 egg-laying hens at his Southern California farm. Miles Thompson, the executive chef at Michael's in Santa Monica, explains the difference between cooking with eggs from the farm versus most of the eggs you find in large supermarket chains. "Food in general would not be the same without eggs. It's the glue that holds together all the crazy ideas inside cooks and chefs heads.”

    Music: "Cool Cat Walk" by Angelo Badamenti & Kinny Landrum
