March 22, 2022 - National West Virginia Day | National Bavarian Crepes Day

Welcome to March 22nd, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate hidden attractions and dessert for breakfast. Nestled deep in the Appalachian Mountains, you’ll find the town of White Sulphur Springs, WV. If you happen to be passing through, stop at The Greenbrier resort. It’s a gorgeous place, but the real attraction is far beneath the hotel. 720 feet below, to be exact. The Greenbrier sits atop a nuclear bunker that was commissioned by President Eisenhower. It was built big enough to house the President, members of Congress, and their staff. Though its been decommissioned since the 1990s, you can still take a tour of the massive site. On National West Virginia Day, we celebrate the majestic Mountain State, a place so beautiful it’s almost Heaven. What’s the difference between French and Bavarian Crepes? It starts with the batter. The French recipe calls for resting after mixing the ingredients, which allows the gluten in the flour to relax. And if you have time to wait, then by all means kick back, drink a glass of wine and do things the Parisian way. This makes for a lighter, more tender crepe. If you don’t mind a sturdier pancake, then get on with it already. After all, if you’re adding Bavarian Cream to the pancake why wait for tenderness? On National Bavarian Crepes Day celebrate getting to the good stuff. And if this means having dessert for breakfast, even better. I’m Anna Devere and I’m Marlo Anderson.
