The Kitchen is rolling out new flavors and fun twists on classic brunch staples for a New Year's brunch. Sunny Anderson makes her Breakfast Steak and Eggs with Chimichurri, and then the hosts share new takes on jam, jelly and marmalade with a Jam Glaze, Marmalade Salad Dressing and "It's Apple Thyme!" Glazed Bacon. Jeff Mauro makes his Lemon Blueberry French Toast Bake, and Katie Lee prepares her Avocado Toast Panzanella. Food blogger Benjamina Ebuehi stops by to share her Blood Orange Olive Oil Upside-Down Cake before the hosts show and taste some new ingredients inspired by foods they already love.
Guy Fieri's talented chef friends improvise some beautiful dishes that can only be described as sophisticated funk. Marc Murphy grills oranges for a Boulevardier cocktail and serves fire-roasted figs over vanilla bean ice cream. Alex Guarnaschelli smothers apple and fennel on toast with gooey flamed cheese and slow-cooks a savory, melt-in-your-mouth beef stew. Michael Voltaggio's Cioppino is jam-packed with the flavors of pepperoni and seafood, and he serves avocado confit on toast with tart, fermented blackberry dressing. Finally, Jonathan Waxman effortlessly whips up a fall-off-the-bone grilled lamb and a mouthwatering warm saffron seafood salad.
