Eyes bigger than your stomach this morning? Don’t throw those leftovers in the trash! In the ongoing quest to solve the Great Soggy Brunch Leftovers Debacle, Chicago Brunch Blog asked recent Baconfest Chicago Pro Cookoff winner, Chris Pandel of The Bristol, for some ideas on how to salvage scraps:
“Brunch leftovers are a touchy subject. The soggy food is always a problem because of all of the heavy sauces, syrups and eggs involved. If it’s a savory dish, I may try to make it into a scramble for the next day’s lunch with fresh scrambled eggs. If it’s sweet, maybe find a way to fold it into ice cream for a decadent leftover dessert the following evening.”
