Get Bowled Over by Brunch Inspiration

Share

Our chefs’ ideas will fill your bowls with goodness and your tables with guests.

Brunch. Is it breakfast? Is it lunch? Does it matter? Enjoy it all with a bowl—from eggs and grits to greens, veggies, fish, meats and beyond. Artfully layered bowls are as satisfying and flavour-packed as they are beautiful. 

We asked our Gordon Food Service culinary team to bowl us over with inspiration. They looked around and suggested breakfast bowls popular in the places where they dine. 

The fun part is up to you … deciding on one (or many!) for your menu.
