For nearly 20 years, Steve Desilets has been hopping on his motorcycle and driving to the World’s Largest Pancake Breakfast, arriving with spatula in hand to help make those fluffy orbs that diners have been waiting for all year long.
On Saturday, May 18, Desilets – who serves as building commissioner in the Department of Code Enforcement for the City of Springfield – will continue his tradition of making the pancakes, egged on by his young son back then, as this year’s breakfast sets up shop with more than 200 tables lined up along Main Street as Springfield celebrates its 388th birthday.
