Newtown Chef Patrick Wilson’s

‘Breakfast In Bed’ Is On The Way

By Nancy K. Crevier

Who wouldn’t want a gourmet breakfast in bed served up by a professional chef?

If Ron Goldleaf, Kevin Barteleme and Don Russo have anything to say about it, Newtown chef Patrick Wilson will be doing just that for the new television series they are promoting, Breakfast in Bed. Mr Barteleme and Mr Russo conceived the traveling food show and it is being produced by Mr Goldleaf, all partners in Breakfast in Bed Productions.

As a member of The Saint Andrew Golf Club in Hastings, N.Y., where Chef Wilson is the executive chef, Mr Goldleaf knew where to find the talent and personality to match the show the three men had in mind.

The concept, said Mr Barteleme, involves having Chef Wilson travel to different locations around the United States to cook and serve a spectacular breakfast in bed — and clean up, too — for lucky recipients chosen through application to the producers.

“There is sort of a tourism element to the show, too,” Mr Barteleme said. “Patrick will be shopping locally, talking about the area, that sort of thing.”

Worried about the condition of your comforter or that the mismatched set of plates will be broadcast around the world? Hopefully, said Chef Wilson, corporate sponsors will be willing to provide the finer appointments to promote their products. Manufacturers of cookware, bedding, and linens could easily “fluff up” your house for national television, he said.

Five episodes of Breakfast in Bed have been filmed in Montauk, N.Y., to use as promotional material. The show’s team is very excited about the work done by Chef Wilson.

“We’re going to make him famous,” said Mr Barteleme.

It is not quite time to picture yourself draped in satin and forking up an epicurean delight on the luxurious program, though. Breakfast in Bed is still in the preliminary stages and seeking a network to pick it up.

“The legwork is done,” said Mr Barteleme. “It is just a matter of scheduling for whoever picks it up.”
