Chef Takumi
Seven-Herb Rice Porridge (七草粥, Nanakusa-gayu)

Smoked haddock poached in milk until it barely holds together, a soft egg set on top so the yolk breaks into the creamy liquor, and good bread to mop it all up. A cold morning made right.
Chef Dean
Smoked Salmon Benedict
Silky cold-smoked salmon draped over perfectly poached eggs, crowned with golden dill hollandaise on a crisp English muffin. This is Pacific Northwest brunch at its most honest and elegant.
Chef Dean

Chef Lesia
Snidankova Zapikanka (сніданкова запіканка, egg bake)
The best breakfast bake should smell awake before you are: green onion sharp at the edges, ham turning sweet, cheese bubbling gold, and the middle still soft enough to tremble.
