What: The Brunch Experiment<\/div>\n
Where: The Bell House, Gowanus, Brooklyn<\/div>\n
When: March 28th 12-4 p.m.<\/div>\n
Why:<\/div>\n
Nearly four years ago, Slate magazine dated the development of New York brunch culture to the early 80\u2019s and a six-block stretch of Amsterdam on the Upper West Side. But, in a city like New York where having a meal is an event, foodies travel tedious hours to hop hoods where they\u2019ll severally stand on sidewalks in willing-to-wait lines for the taste of what occurs between the hours of 12 and 4. \u00a0 \u00a0Soon, brunch will feel as epic as its city start when cook-off organizers Nick Suarez and Theodore Peck take on Brunch for the fifth installment of their Brooklyn based Food Experiments.<\/div>\n
As past chef-testants themselves, Suarez and Peck are aware of the broad spectrum of ingredients that the 20 chefs must choose from. \u00a0Their advice is simple, \u201cMake sure your dish is highly seasoned and balanced, logistically possible given the parameters and can be transported and re-heated using a chafing dish,\u201d said Suarez.<\/div>\n
While Suarez enjoys brunch-ing in his own kitchen or at Bark Hot Dogs before an Experiment he\u2019s excited about a contestant doing a brunch pairing including a mini-drink and a contestant going the molecular gastronomy route with an egg quiche using uni and sous-vide techniques.<\/div>\n
With Stonyfield \u00a0donating yogurt, milk and cream and an egg sponsor is still to be announced contestants will have ample supplies to wow judges; \u00a0Andrew Knowlton, restaurant editor at Bon App\u00e9tit Magazine and Iron Chef judge, Sean Remboldt, chef from Diner\/Marlow and Sons, and a surprise judge.<\/div>\n
The amateur chef whose equal logistics and taste who gets the majority of the 300 attendees to swoon over their table and vote will win prizes including a nights stay at Le Parker Meridian, a brunch for two at Norma\u2019s and a grand prize of two round trip tickets from Jet Blue.<\/div>\n
\u201cWe are looking for the perfect bite, not a whole brunch meal,\u201d said Suarez.<\/div>\n
Cost: $20 Advance (free after party) A portion of ticket sales will help support Ovarian Cancer Research<\/div>\n
How to get there: Take the F train to Brooklyn. Exit 4th Avenue near 9th street. Walk North on 4th avenue towards 8th street. Turn left on 7th to the address. (The Bell House, 149 7th Street, Gowanus, Brooklyn, 718.643.6510, thefoodexperiments.com)<\/div>\n

What: <\/strong>The Brunch Experiment<\/p>\n

Where:<\/strong> The Bell House, Gowanus, Brooklyn<\/p>\n

When: <\/strong>Sunday,\u00a0March 28th, 12-4 p.m.<\/p>\n

Why:\u00a0Nearly four years ago, Slate<\/em> dated the development of New York brunch culture<\/a> to the early 80\u2019s and a six-block stretch of Amsterdam on the Upper West Side. These days in New York, having a meal is not just a basic human need it’s an event. Big Apple foodies have shown they will travel tedious hours, hopping ‘hoods, and standing in sidewalk lines for the taste of something special. And we have people like cook-off organizers Nick Suarez and Theodore Peck to thank for giving us such culinary adventures like the Brooklyn Beer, Cheese, and Chocolate Experiments, and now this, the fifth installment of their Brooklyn-based Food Experiment: Brunch.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

As past chef-testants themselves, Suarez and Peck are aware of the broad spectrum of ingredients that the 20 chefs must choose from. Yet their advice is simple. \u201cMake sure your dish is highly seasoned and balanced, logistically possible given the parameters. And the food could be transported and re-heated using a chafing dish,\u201d said Suarez.<\/p>\n

Suarez, who enjoys brunching in his own kitchen or at Bark Hot Dogs, said he is particularly egg-cited about a contestant who might do a mini-drink or go the molecular gastronomy route with an egg quiche using uni and sous-vide techniques.<\/p>\n

With Stonyfield donating yogurt and milk, and Organic Valley providing the eggs, cream, and butter, contestants will have ample supplies to wow judges like Andrew Knowlton,\u00a0Iron Chef judge and\u00a0restaurant editor at Bon App\u00e9tit<\/em> Magazine, chef\u00a0Sean Remboldt\u00a0from Diner\/Marlow and Sons, plus a surprise judge.<\/p>\n

The stakes are higher than ever for this spring’s Food Experiment. The amateur chef who gets the majority of the 300 attendees to swoon and\u00a0subsequently\u00a0vote for their table will win delicious prizes, including a night’s stay at Le Parker Meridian, a brunch for two at Norma\u2019s, and two round trip tickets from Jet Blue.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are looking for the perfect bite, not a whole brunch meal,\u201d said Suarez.<\/p>\n
