Spice up your brunch with these satisfy-all-cravings global diner favorites—straight from the kitchen of one of Seattle’s most-loved chefs
 
If you love brunch, you'll love this collection of bold and flavorful brunch recipes from Portland's Tasty restaurants. Headed up by chef John Gorham, Tasty n Sons and Tasty n Alder reinvented the brunch scene (and then every eating hour after that) with these supremely satisfying dishes now available for home cooks in Hello! My Name Is Tasty.  

First, throw away your pick-an-egg, pick-a-toast idea of brunch. Next, reconsider what to eat (and drink) every hour of the day. Hello! My Name Is Tasty will heat up your home kitchen with satisfy-all-cravings global diner favorites like Bim Bop Bacon and Eggs and Monk’s Carolina Cheesesteak. The food has strong roots in the American Southeast, where Gorham earned his culinary stripes but tastes from Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America also have a strong standing. Welcome to the ever-expanding world of John Gorham’s appetites. If you get thirsty, stir up something adventurous like a Dim Summore Bloody Mary or a Grown-Ass Milkshake.
"Unchain yourself with this easy [recipe]"
—O, The Oprah Magazine

"Brunch at home is entirely underrated: there’s no wait, it’s a heck of a lot cheaper, and it’s a great way to use up leftovers. Learn the art of the home brunch from Portland chef John Gorham, whose celebrated restaurants, Tasty ‘n Sons and Tasty ‘n Alder, serve up a fresh take on brunch dishes with global influences"
—Food52

"[Hello! My Name is Tasty] ushers home cooking into a new echelon…this collection sizzles with possibility "
—Shelf Awareness

"It’s a winner for home cooks who feel like pancakes and eggs one day, charcuterie and cocktails the next."
—Library Journal

"While Portland, Oregon, restaurateur Gorham’s chain of restaurants honors Pacific Northwest culinary traditions, he combines that cooking with what he considers the finest of southern cooking. His dishes gleefully mix these continentally opposite schools of taste for a mash-up that keeps customers piling in."
