Women – And Bloody Marys – Rule
Anyone who turned up for breakfast at Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach last Sunday could not have failed to be impressed by the stunningly colorful array of food on display for a modern-day brunch created by some of the top female chefs in the country.
Christina Tosi (Momofuku Milk Bar, N.Y.) handed out miniature glasses of milky coffee to sip alongside softly poached eggs on tiny muffins topped with sweet onion marmalade, as Top Chef Masters‘ Susan Feniger (STREET) wowed the happy crowd with fried apple bananas glazed with sweet shoyu and coconut jam. During the all-too-short two-hour brunch high above the crowds in Waikiki, our expectations of Sunday brunch were elevated.
No soggy pancakes or wilted omelets at this extraordinary event pulled together by Roy’s corporate executive chef Jacqueline Lau, whose own ocean-inspired offering of moi with Kahuku sea asparagus, limu salad and watermelon radish was one of the most colorful and creative of the morning.
