That actually sounds tasty, except for the clams and bacon. I could omit those and make "Crumbs Casino."

Where's today's clam recipe?

well, you see, the clam recipe of the day doesn't happen everyday. but when the day rolls around that begs for a clam recipe, it's a real crowd pleaser.

Oh yeah, I'd have to add crumbs to my recipe. That's where the "crumbs" would come from.

Bummer clam recipe of the day doesn't happen every day. Just thinking of the things I could eat instead of clams makes my mouth water.
