Comfort Foods

receptionsBrunch is all about giving your guests lots of choices at a variety of food stations, according to Southerland. “I like to do a different take on typical brunch foods,” she says. “For example, instead of traditional corned beef hash, have a chef at one station slicing fresh corned beef and serving it on a hash brown potato pancake. Another station might have caramelized banana and mascarpone stuffed French toast, while yet another offers spinach and blue crab eggs Benedict. a twist on two classic morning dishes that are popular with everyone.”
