Brunch is a vital weekly ritual for many. Whether taken solo with a newspaper and bottomless coffee or with friends and caesars, it’s the one meal that sets the tone for a weekend. Unlike weekday meals that get daily do-overs when they don’t work, Brunch is a once-a-week effort and avid brunchers tend to be a picky and ritualistic lot.

Two Chefs a Table has launched a new brunch menu to signal the arrival of spring in Vancouver. With an even greater emphasis on ingredients made in-house and a range of new flavours and dishes to match the season, the new menu offers a range of tastes perfect to start any weekend or holiday.

From English Muffins to sausage, jam to hollandaise sauce, each Two Chefs brunch dish is heavy on ingredients made from scratch on the Two Chefs kitchen. Over the winter, Chefs Karl Gregg and Allan Bosomworth have worked hard to perfect the homemade English Muffins and roasted ham that are now featured in Benedicts. Those looking for a topping for their toast will be able to enjoy the Two Chefs homemade pear jam, while carnivores can order the caribou sausage one of what will be an ever-changing selection of homemade sausages and jams made in the Two Chefs kitchen.

When ingredients are not made in-house they’re sourced from the freshest local sources like the artisan breads used at breakfast. And, like most kitchens, Two Chefs and a Table runs on coffee and it’s always an essential part of the day. Two Chefs prides themselves on their coffee, made fresh and hot and always served in a French press at the table.

For a completely new breakfast taste, the Two Chefs Brunch Risotto combines the sweet, satisfying base of risotto with mushrooms, poached eggs, caribou sausage and grilled tomatoes for a well rounded, hearty start to the day. Two Chefs offers their own spin on the Croque Madame with local charcuterie in place of the traditional ham and parmesan hollandaise and an over easy egg to complete the plate.

With the Sun climbing higher in the sky, the bright, airy Two Chefs room is perfect for a relaxed brunch with friends or solo with a paper at the newly rebuilt bar facing into the open kitchen. Two Chefs and a Table is located at 305 Alexander Street in Railtown and at www.twochefsandatable.com on the web.
