Samuel was trying to impress an acrobat. Back in 2010, he got obsessed with pancakes. For two years, he made pancakes four and five times a week - sometimes twice a day. He had fallen for an acrobat, and wanted to impress her with breakfast. The cakes needed to be tender enough to call cake, but packed with enough protein and long-lasting complex carbohydrates to get her through her workouts. Samuel got deep into local grainshed economies, regenerative farming, and most of all, stone-grinding whole heritage grains. Long story short, there were pancakes at the wedding. They took $5,000 and an oversized whisk and started a business. In 2023, Samuel took the company on Shark Tank, complete with circus and celebrity guests! Within 6 weeks of airing, Long Table did over $1M in sales. That consumer response made it possible for us to grow our team, streamline our manufacturing process, and ramp up production. But we're still a family business and we still keep a trapeze in the warehouse. Long Table Pancakes are a loveletter to breakfast, to an acrobat, and to you. Enjoy.
