AEB’s Incredible Breakfast Trends series features Chef Ina Pinkney, “Breakfast Queen” and bowls
The breakfast experts at the American Egg Board are cracking open a new chapter of Incredible Breakfast Trends (IBT) in 2018. “Going forward Incredible Breakfast Trends won’t just focus on national breakfast trends,” explains Phaedra Ruffalo, AEB’s senior director, market development. “It will go beyond them to the chefs who are setting those trends. Several times a year, we’ll be interviewing nationally-acclaimed chefs to learn how they bring a breakfast trend to life on their menu. From competing on Iron Chef and Top Chef to earning Michelin stars to writing their own cookbooks to James Beard Award recipients – these chefs are well, incredible breakfast trendsetters.” Using video, slide shows, recipes and more, IBT brings breakfast trends alive for readers.
Chicago-based chef, writer and undisputed, “Breakfast Queen,” Ina Pinkney is the first of IBT’s trend-setting chefs. She dishes on the bowl trend and its limitless opportunities, specifically breakfast bowls and what gives them their menu appeal. In a guest vlog Chef Ina draws on her years of experience focusing on the breakfast daypart, sharing her views about the breakfast bowl phenomenon: “Breakfast bowls allow you to choose to eat a meal in layers or mixed all together. Fill it with flavor and texture and you’ve got an exciting array of concepts that will bring consumers back time and again.”
