...blender's 1995 debut. Starbucks knew there was demand--witness the bags of food carried in--but creating a good-looking oven that could cook a range of items and contain the odor--lest a store not smell first and foremost of coffee--was a challenge. Even after some breakfast sandwiches were developed, entirely new deployment routines had to be created so that employees would not slow the line. "If our espresso-only or drip-only customers suffered," says Alling, "it wouldn't be worth doing...
...breakfast sandwiches are a success in the handful of big cities they have reached so far, like Chicago and New York, where they add an average of $35,000 a year to the sales of each store--more than the $30,000 that comes from cold sandwiches and salads.

The newly renovated Picholine near Lincoln Center in Manhattan serves a dish called "bacon and eggs," in which the bacon is actually smoked tuna belly. And Brodsky once featured "green eggs and ham" in homage to Dr. Seuss, which was actually a truffled spring pea custard served with proscuitto chips and caviar. "I did it to have some fun and not take myself so seriously," he says. For diners too, lightening up about what to eat for dinner...
