content: Dave Rabinowitz (presenter); Ray Slizewski 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. Focusing on culturally diverse dishes, Ray Slizewski has fed thousands of circus performers throughout his years with Big Apple Circus and his community-based cooking programs.
