**Posted on behalf of Chef Tell. That’s why it’s so short, amirite?**

YHC saw a couple of nice one-liners on Twitter last night. “If you can’t take the heat you better stay out of Chef’s Qitchen tomorrow” and “Tomorrow’s @F3_FOD workout will be in rare form. Chef Tell with the Q.” For what it’s worth, I liked the first of the two. Either way, I figured it was time to whip up some PAINcakes for breakfast. Beautiful morning, a nice crispness in the air. 19 PAX came out to FOD–strong numbers.
