Holiday Brunch Concept Menu w/Chides (not chives)



While helping Crystal with menus for Ritz after I had to cater the wedding for her obnoxious Sous Chef (who suggested that I "elevate the presentation" of my Caprese Salad by serving it in a martini glass), I sneak in a recipe of my own...sort of. In any case, she caught it before the email was sent. Muhahhhahha.
