UYE Elusive Breakfast Club Badge @ Aviator’s

I love brunch. There is no way around it. I am not someone who wakes up hungry, I need an hour or so to get my mind set on what I want to eat, with the exception of coffee. I was super happy when the UYE at Aviator’s was put together. Brunch, planes, friends. WIN-​WIN. Aviators is located at the Sacramento Executive Airport, which seemed odd at first, but once we went inside and saw the dark paneled restaurant, I was sold. This place must have been decorated in the late 70’s early 80’s, but that is part of the charm. There are many seats in the place where you can watch the planes take off and land.
They restaurant had an entire section roped off for us «Yelpers», which made me think of possibilities for future events that could be held here. We had a view of the runway and planes through the large windows. Cool stuff. The staff was extremely accommodating and there was water and coffee, ALREADY at my seat! Nice touch.
The menu had a nice selection of breakfast/​brunch items ranging from the basics of eggs, bacon and toast to the «secret» menu of bacon fried rice with 2 eggs on top. They also have a loco moco– again, a secret item. I finally decided on scrambled eggs with cheese. It was delicious and made with– help me– butter. The SO ordered a scramble that featured bacon, sausage and cheese, and he requested crispy potatoes. They cooked them deliciously crisp, not burnt, and so good that I would sneak bites when he looked away. LOL I saw Joe K. eating a huge stack of pancakes with eggs on top, May having the fried rice served on a huge plate and Ida with a large veggie scramble with avocado and tomatoes. All yum!
We had a blast hanging out with our Unilocal compadres and even played a breakfast trivia game that Chuck M. created. I won a humungous mug and a raspberry craft beer (gone by the afternoon!), thanks Chuck! Then Karen K., the hostess with the hostess, had another game — name all the Unilocalers around you by memory. Fueled by coffee I won a mini Bundt cake. WOW. I LOVE prizes. Thank you so much to Karen K. and your wonderful husband Ken K. for creating and making the UYE so much fun.
To top things off, I was able to get my «brunch» badge. Awesome. Good food, friends, coffee, I cannot wait until the next one!

I give this UYE a huge props success! This UYE at Aviator’s is an incredible event that I’ve ever participated! I’ve did seen some of my Unilocal buddies like Karen and Kenneth, May and J.R., Chuck M, John H, Ida, Joe, Lucy, Rich L, etc for a huge gathering brunch on a 3 quarter squared table showing the fantastic view of the executive airport.
We did ordered the foods successfully from signature dishes to the most well-​known secret menu item exclusively found in Aviator’s. So far, the food is very delicious and eatable.
Additionally, we did started a little fun while dining in as we played the breakfast quiz which Chuck M created it. It’s a fun, challenging quiz which it relates to all 10 questions about the history and the culture of breakfast from around the world. As I completed the quiz, the result is quite not good receiving a 4 out of 10. It’s a hard quiz for me, yet it’s a fun learning game which I could learn more about it in the future. Thanks Chuck for creating a fun breakfast quiz!
Finally, we did have some fun taking pictures using the professional camera and of course, the selfie stick for an amazing selfie pictures during the UYE. It’s a great way to entertain the participants, and I’m glad I did.
Overall, the UYE at Aviator’s is a remarkable, outstanding success! Thanks Karen K for making this UYE a blast!

I couldn’t wait to attend this UYE sponsored by Karen K! Joe K and I haven’t been able to go to many Unilocal related events in such a long time, and this breakfast at Aviator’s seemed like a good way to break out of our dry spell and try a restaurant that I have heard good things about!
It started at 9:00 am which seemed too early for me, being on my day off and all, but I was determined to make this sacrifice! I’m so glad I did! As soon as we entered, there was a separate room all set up just for us Unilocalers! We had a nice view of the Sacramento Executive Airport, the runways and private planes.
The menu had a nice selection to choose from which made choosing difficult. I finally decided on the In Flight Scramble without bacon and a side of rye toast. It was very delicious and made a good choice for vegetarians. Joe K ordered pancakes with two fried eggs on top. We both happily devoured our breakfasts!
My fellow Unilocal dining companions couldn’t have been better! We got to socialize with some wonderful people as we got to catch up with old friends and made some new ones! Karen K made the UYE even more fun by having a breakfast trivia complete with prizes! I tied with Jessica, Sheila and Lucy as we were each awarded a special hand crafted flavored beer with a very nice large beer mug. Our second game of the morning was to list as many Unilocal friends as we could remember that showed up for the UYE. I have a terrible memory for names, so didn’t place here, but Jessica once again was one of the winners and was given a Red Velvet Nothing Bundt Cakes dessert. I felt like a winner anyway, as Jessica gave it to me, because she doesn’t eat sweets! I felt even luckier, as I was surrounded by some of the nicest Unilocalers you could ever want to meet!
I don’t need no stinkin’ Breakfast Club Badge, this UYE itself just made my morning!
Thank you to Karen & Ken K, and Chuck M for collaborating and putting on this memorable event!

«Planes, Games and Lotta-Mobile’s» ( Unilocal users that is)! With a 180 degree view of the tarmac action at Executive Airport, the Breakfast Club convened for the very first time! We were (mostly) all after that elusive Breakfast Club badge and I believe that the majority of us were successful in earning this badge in one shot (requirements appear to be checking in at breakfast time, all within minutes of at least three others who are all your friends on Unilocal).
Badges earned, we were able to quickly place our food orders and the restaurant did a fantastic job of getting our orders out quickly. I had the «Airboss Special» which consisted of two eggs over hard, bacon and two biscuits and gravy. It was a lot of food and I only made it half way through the biscuits and gravy before getting full. A solid value at just $ 7.25.
Once the food was on the table we proceeded with a «Breakfast» themed trivia game that I had put together and we ended up with a four-​way tie. I had brought 3 prizes of craft beers and steins. Fortunately our UYE organizer and Hostess, Karen K. had also brought extra prizes (bundletts from Nothing Bundt Cakes) and graciously provided the fourth prize! Then we were on to Karen’s game where guests had to try to name as many attendees as possible. Congratulations to all the winners!
This was a terrific UYE! I was finally able to meet several of my Unilocal friends, have a great breakfast, earn that elusive Breakfast Club badge and have a very fun start to my day!
Kudos to Karen K for putting together a fantastic event! You would never have guessed it was her very first time hosting a UYE! She was the hostess with the mostess!

Whooda thunk this was Karen K’s first UYE? Someone very close to her told me she MAY have been a little stressed about this first UYE, the preparations and organizing. It didn’t show, at all. Flawless execution!
My first visit to the Executive Airport (in memory… not saying much). I know this airport as the origin of the 1972 F-​86 Sabre ice cream disaster. Definitely my first visit to Aviators restaurant where this Breakfast Club badge seeking group of Unilocalers gathered to capture the somewhat elusive honor. It was apparent that arrangements had been made and organizing had been done.
A space just off the main dining room was setup with tables for this expected large group. The staff wasn’t in the process of setting it up; it was done and ready. Through the large windows around the room you could watch planes at rest and those leaving and arriving. small planes. As you peeked around the aviation themed restaurant, there are examples of notable aviation history suspended from the ceiling and the salad bar sneeze guard made from a cockpit canopy.
The purpose, in part, was for the group (as individuals) to acquire the «elusive» Unilocal badge. There was some speculation that another such breakfast UYE may be required to qualify for the badge. and maybe yet a third, or more. From my recollection, all who attended this UYE were adorned with the badge as we checked-​in to the restaurant. Success!
Time for breakfast! The restaurant staff was efficient taking each attendees breakfast order and keeping the coffee carafes filled. Apparently I missed the secret menu (on the back of the regular menu?). It was interesting to see fellow Unilocaler breakfast food choices — no comment or criticism, just interesting.
This breakfast get together was more than Yeeps, food, and a badge. Fellow Unilocaler Chuck M prepared and presented each attendee a set of 10 breakfast trivia questions — multiple choice, of course. When complete, pass the ‘exam’ to the Yeep on your right for «grading.» As the answers to the first two questions were announced and from the groans around the room from incorrect answers, I was confident I had this gig in the bag. I got both correct! That’s where the confidence ended. I’ll need to refer to Unilocaler Lucy M for certainty, but 4 correct of 10 questions is a failing grade. My breakfast world history needs some work. I’ll get right on that. Two winners received a gracious prize!
How many fellow Unilocaler attendees can you name, without cheating? While not the most, I was able to name enough to receive my first ever mini Nothing Bundt Cake. Pretty sure it was Karen many months ago that first tempted me with her visits to this bundt-​cakery.
Karen performed! Ken supported! Chuck brought his «game.»! Finally, a few in-​person meets of Unilocal friends I’ve only known online. What a fabulous time I had and a most gracious and sincere thank you to our organizer (s) and restaurant host.

This was my very first UYE which is also known as the unofficial Unilocal event. This was actually initiated by a fellow Unilocal Eliter Chuck M who had taken notice that I had all of my badges except for that elusive one the breakfast club badge. I worked feverishly on getting all those badges that it was a secret enjoyment for me to actually earn it. Am I a nerd or what??? But I had let that badge go by the wayside for almost eight months until Chuck mentioned doing a UYE to obtain it. He even suggested having it at Aviators too. I thought what an awesome idea as Aviators was located in south Sactown at its executive airport not too far from where I live in Elk Grove.
I promptly went ahead entering the event in Unilocal.It was called UYE Elusive Breakfast Club Badge event. We decided on a date August 15, 2015 at 9 AM. I called the restaurant itself just randomly booked a table for ten not thinking that many people would show. Well I was wrong. Before you know it there were over fifty people interested though close to twenty RSVP!!! The Monday before I changed the reservation to fifteen but possibly twenty and spoke directly with more congenial Maria.
I actually visited the restaurant the day before the event & met Maria personally. I wanted to see more of the restaurant although I had been here only once. They do have patio seating but for the morning it was really too sunny and there were no patio umbrellas. Maria showed me the actual room which it was actually set for 22 people. Well to tell you the truth that was the exact number of people that showed up for my UYE!!! That was eerie but yet perfect as it was the perfect room with three large windows to view the airplanes landing or taking off!
I tipped people prior not to check in right away but everyone knows people do whatever. No one actually listens!!! Lol! I’m used to that bc I have one here right beside me!!! Lol!!! Chuck wanted to do a trivia game and I thought what an cute idea!!! So I said yes it would be a great ice breaker!!! He mentioned he had prizes too.
I wavered back in forth in my mind should I do name tags or should I not? If you know me and I’m a Gemini. One stable twin says yes; the other devious one says no you’re not!!! Ok I’m the devil so I thought that morning I have to get the prizes together. Done! My poor hubby had to deal with the devious me and I’m thinking in my head what game am I going to play? So I decided that people had to name the most names of people there. And the yummy Nothing Bundlet cakes were the prizes!
I know we got to the parking lot at 0830 but didn’t go in until Ken said honey John H is here. Okay it’s time to get the party started!!! Before you know it people started arriving as I told people prior to arrive promptly at 9. Maria said people need to do their orders at that time. I thought to myself we Unilocalers are social people we don’t do that!!!
People who showed were Chuck & Dina, Rich L & his grandson Braeden, Norm J & three kids, Angeles, Sheila, May & JR, Joe & Ida, Jessica & Paul, William & selfie stick, Tuan (left early for rafting date) & fashionably late Lucy M. So there were eighteen adults and four kids. Five people didn’t show who RSVP but five others did. It all worked out. Since a few people had gone ahead checking in we all decided to go ahead & Do it! There came my last elusive breakfast club badge earned!!! I’m done!!! (For now) I guess you can earn more if you travel outside the U.S. but I’m in no hurry for that!!! I know that bc I have a fellow Unilocaler friend who has 44 badges who doesn’t have the breakfast club badge & brewed awakening badge which is not easy to obtain!!!
It was actually our first time meeting Chuck & Dina who did an awesome job with the trivia game which I thought should be done while we were eating our breakfast. It was great as he came up with questions that I guessed after awhile. It was timed so yeah just circle whatever! Jessica, Ida, Sheila and Lucy won that game. Then came the naming game which had to be performed in five minutes. It looks like Jessica, May, John & William (?) won that game. This day went by so fast like life is a huge blur after awhile!!!
I have to give kudos to Chuck for helping me through this as well as my hubby being there for me always plus Maria taking care of us all at the restaurant with a few people ordering from their secret menu like the fried rice and eggs or loco moco which we might have to go back for as I didn’t order that bc of a later event! I had my usual favorite: French toast eggs & bacon.
Before we had our yummy breakfast we were taking pics, selfies and finally the last group picture was done at the end. Ida was awesome in reminding me about a group pic that it was performed. Guess who the two silly ones were hiding behind the pic!!! Berrringgg! You win the new photo game badge! Jk! No such badge yet!!! Mission accomplished earning that breakfast badge as we were now the breakfast club badge of champions!!! Hallelujah!

What a pleasant way to wake up and spend a tasty, friendly breakfast here at the Aviators. I even earned a badge for breakfast club. I think we should do this more often.
This beautiful day was organize with our very own Karen to come and have breakfast as a UYE and have everyone that showed up mingled, like true Unilocalers ‚. We of course took plenty of selfies and Pictures. I was pretty amaze at this location, it reminded me of small airports regional stations, having worked previously with a major airline courier… It brought me back when I took some A n P classes. Anyway this morning, we where greeted by our hostess/​Hosts Karen, Kenneth and Chuck. The menu was simple, not too pricey. We took our seat and were greeted by our friendly server who took our order. I can’t remember who told me and my wife about the secret choice that wAs not not on the menu…” 2 eggs over fried rice”. It was more than enough and it was delicious. I had to have my coffee with that. As we about to finish our food, Chuck hand out «10 questions» breakfast test … Of course I failed haha…3 out of 10 Jessica L, I Ida and Shiela won the prizes. My wife May win «anything but buntz» cup cake with the second game we played., writing as many Unilocalers you know that are there. This is a great way to know each other more.
All in all it was a very satisfying morning. We should do this more. Thank you Karen for the invite and can’t wait till the next time.

Excellent food and company!
How could an event like this fall short of a 5-​Stars! What a perfect Saturday morning sharing breakfast with fellow Unilocalers (and some kidlets). Where shall I start…
There was approximately 15 – 20 friends who gathered in this restaurant for a UYE organized by Karen K and Chuck M. We showed up… some early, most on time… and one fashionably late (but we still love her) LoL! Knew mostly everyone who attended but some by name only (I still have yet to meet ¹⁄₃ of my friends from Unilocal in person) and was glad to meet some of them this morning. So we started to place our order from the menu… but I was reminded of that specialty dish that was off the menu (thanks to Robyn M, my fellow Rosevillian Yelite friend, who is now in Reno enjoying a cup o’ Joe with Reno Elites). Robyn recommended the fried rice and two eggs. I was so glad I remembered and that’s what I got (hubby ordered the same)… mmm! wow! yummy… so good! It was a generous portion and I was able to eat it all (well, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, right?!). Delish! (oh, also in their secret menu that is not on their regular menu… loco moco! YES! another reason to come back and try it!) I love food!
While everyone was having breakfast, Chuck M rolled out a fun trivia breakfast game… and provided the pens for us to use for answers as well! There were ten questions… umm, ooh… ohhh, nope… well, let’s just say I didn’t do too well on that quiz. FAIL! :(but it was fun even though I don’t like thinking too much on my days off from work. I already do enough of that during my 8:00a to 5:00p schedule. There were three winners… Ida H and Jessica L won each a beautiful prize… not sure who the third winner was… was it you, Karen K? Next fun game was introduced by Karen… no wonder she didn’t give out any name tags at the start! Karen wanted us to name as many guests as we could… I almost knew everyone and Karen did give me a prize… a bundtlet of my choice from Nothing Bundt Cakes! Thought of my little one… she loves Lemon Cake.
By the way, we all earned our elusive Breakfast Club badge for checking-​in at the Aviator’s! I had a great time, Karen and Chuck… thank you both so much! (must thank Kenneth too, Honorary organizer, for assisting Karen during the planning and probably do some errands for her too). See you at the next breakfast UYE!
