Jan 10, 2013 >> Little Market Brasserie New Year’s Brunch Recipes

This week, we kicked off 2013 with Chef Ryan Poli of the Gold Coast’s Little Market Brasserie. The outspoken foodie took us back to the kitchen to whip up two of his favorite brunch options from the menu: an updated grilled cheese and a deliciously spicy chorizo omlette. Watch the G&F Interview and add the recipes below to your weekend rotation—you won’t be disappointed.
