Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends" co-host Brian Kilmeade is scheduled to visit the Brookfield Original Pancake House from 5 to 8 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 24 for a new segment of "Breakfast with Friends," the news release said. The restaurant is set to open early to patrons at 4:45 a.m., according to a statement from a Fox spokesperson.

Kilmeade will be speaking with anchors in New York during the visit and is expected to speak with diner patrons about the debate and other news of the day, according to a spokesperson and the news release. The show features co-hosts Steve Doocy and Ainsley Earhardt alongside Kilmeade, the news release said.

The debate on Wednesday is set to be co-moderated by Fox News' Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. Ahead of the event, all eyes are on whether former President Donald Trump—who has suggested he plans to skip the debate—will be in attendance. Baier told Politico Wednesday that if the former president is not there, "he'll still be there."

Eight candidates were qualified for the debate by Tuesday including, Trump, Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, Mike Pence, Chris Christie, Nikki Haley, Tim Scott and Doug Burgum, the Politico report said.

The Original Pancake House in Brookfield is located at 16460 West Bluemound Road. The franchise location was not immediately available for comment for this story over the phone.
