This weekend Hotel ZaZa saw another session of its third-weekend Sunday School Brunch. The brunch features eggs, pancakes, lobster frittatas and the usual brunch fare kicked up with bottles of champagne and pitchers of strong mimosas to take the edge off the weekend revelry that rocked the hotel’s previous nights hoopla.
The brunch is so much more than a plate of scrambled eggs. Soon after sitting the room darkens and the music thrills the air to continue the party for those that just do not quite want the party to end.
The staff fully embraces the Sunday afternoon party by dressing the part. Even chef de cuisine Bradford Hodgkins played it up by dressing in his best nerdy school girl regalia, replete with locks and freckles. Fortunately there is plenty of eye candy to go around to make up for the playful chef. Continue reading

There is nothing more soothing and regenerative as the Sunday Brunch cocktail the Mimosa. Use a really nice Prosecco instead of the generic sparkling wine and you have a moment of bliss. What could possibly be better? Use fresh squeezed OJ as they do in the very rustic and very open bar at La Fiorentina. Continue reading

We visited with chef Jon Stevens of Nosh Euro Bistro this past Sunday after enjoying a few of the brunch menu items. It had been a long weekend and chef Steven’s new menu fit the bill perfectly.
Although I had met Stevens in passing a few times previously, this was the first opportunity to find out more about the chef.
Stevens is originally from the San Francisco area, one of the great food cities in the United States and was mostly self-taught. The chef starting cooking at the age of 19 with his uncle who was also in the business. It was this uncle that gave Stevens the advice to pass on formal training as the city was bursting with great culinary experiences and the best way to learn was to do. Continue reading
