Jason Cichonski is bringing brunch service to Ela, the corner restaurant he and Chip Roman opened in Queen Village last year. It kicks off this coming Sunday, October 14 at 10:30 a.m. As expected, Cichonski, one of the more innovative chefs around these parts, is taking his “deliciously off-the-wall” approach to cooking, and applying it to brunch. That means things like biscuits and bone marrow, buttermilk biscuits, scrambled eggs and bone marrow gravy; short ribs benedict, English muffin, cippolini onions and horseradish hollandaise; and gingersnap pancakes will be on offer. There are also some interesting brunch-time cocktails on the menu, too. Keep reading to see it in its entirety.
