Are you and your friends looking for a new brunch spot with revamped versions of classic comfort food? If the answer is "yes," head to Jardenea this Saturday morning. The chef sources ingredients from local farms and transforms them into fresh, creative dishes that delight brunch-goers.

Start with a mini parfait layered with natural yogurt, hand-rolled granola, and seasonal berries on top or a bowl of Chesapeake Bay crab bisque and corn fritters. Then sink your teeth into a BLT loaded with lobster, crispy pancetta, and avocado puree or the pan-seared wild salmon with lemon preserve dill and saffron-celery root puree. If you want something sweeter, try the griddled buttermilk pancakes with chocolate chips and Vermont maple syrup on top, or the crispy malted waffle flecked with fresh seasonal berries and smother with cinnamon chantilly cream.
