Ela's new brunch menu is awesome
Kimchi bloody marys? Chocolate chip cookie dough topped French toast? Jason Cichonski's Sunday brunch at Ela is looking pretty promising.
Ela's new brunch menu is awesome
More fall menu excitement is happening down in Queen Village at Ela (627 South 3rd St.) www.elaphilly.com. Chef Jason Cichonski is beginning brunch service on Sunday with an autumn-inspired over-the-top morning menu.
Cichonski is taking cues from brunch standards and reinventing them in a way that is pretty genius. Biscuits and gravy becomes biscuits and bone marrow, topped with a bone marrow gravy and scrambled eggs. Oatmeal is made with toasted farro and finished with dulce de leche and banana jam and butternut squash finds its way into French toast.
And then there are the brunch cocktail. To accompany this elevated brunch experience Cichonski's bar crew has crafted a menu of amazing a.m. cocktails. Bloody marys are coming in flavors like kimchi, truffle and roasted beet and there's fall-perfect caramel apple mimosa.
