What are your plans for the weekend? I am a planner. I keep a very tight schedule but on the weekends we kinda sleep in on some weekends. So we totally miss Breakfast, the most important meal of the day.
Thanks to Maggiano's Little Italy at Memorial City Mall for hosting us for Brunch. All opinions stated are my own based on my personal experience.
Maggiano's Little Italy serves Italian-American cuisine. They have family style dining like eating at grandma's house. They have full menu, everyday of the week, whether you are vegetarian, gluten-free, or vegan. In this kitchen like most kitchens, it all starts with the chef. Let me introduce you to Chef Philippe, Executive Chef.
His background has a lot of influence on his menu and ingredient choices. Can you believe he started cooking when he was six? He makes cooking look so easy. You can tell he enjoys what he does.
We were invited to come sample some items from the new Brunch menu at Maggiano's Little Italy.
VEGETABLE FRITTATA-Shiitake Mushrooms, Spinach, Roma Tomatoes, Smoked Mozzarella, Crispy Vesuvio Potatoes
CRÈME BRÛLÉE FRENCH TOAST-Cranberry Raisin Focaccia, Maple Syrup, Strawberries, Choice of Side
Am I making you hungry yet?
Do you like Eggs Benedict? Maggiano's has plenty of choices for you and these are not your typical dishes. Get passed the names, and give them a try. You palette will thank you.
The Meatball
We even got some tips as Chef Philippe made pancakes for us from the Brunch menu. Do you use an electric mixer? Chef Philippe is all about hand mixing and the flick of your wrist. He also said patience is key. Do not mess with that pancakes, leave it alone.
Beautiful, nice and fluffy. He made it look so easy. The perfect sized pancake every time.
LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES-Whipped Cream, Maple Syrup, Blueberries, Choice of Side
Don't let allergies stop you. Chef Philippe will personally take care of your order. Everything is cooked from scratch when you order. He will cook your dish in a separate kitchen area and even go off the menu. Make sure you tell your waitress before ordering.
