It’s a big week for local Chef Joey Maggiore. His debut cookbook "Brunch King: Eats, Beats, and Boozy Drinks" is officially available for purchase on Amazon, in bookstores and at any of the seven local Hash Kitchen restaurants across the Valley.
In addition, Chef Joey is opening his sixth restaurant concept this Friday, The Italiano in Scottsdale.
The "Brunch King" cookbook features 70 recipes of delicious over the top dishes with lavish photography that will make readers drool. From Bananas Foster Pancakes and Cannoli Donuts to Billionaire’s Bacon, Birria Bao Benedict, and Build Your Own Bloody Marys, with "Brunch King," you’ll eat breakfast like royalty and have a party at the kitchen table any time of day.
The book’s chapters include Gangsta Sweets: So Good It’s Almost Criminal, Let’s Get Cracking, and Hash, Hash Baby along with a set list that will have you grooving by the stove.
Chef Joey, whose father was a master chef and restauranteur, started cooking when he was 13 and opened his first restaurant when he was 19. He’s now the force behind The Maggiore Group and Hash Kitchen, which opened in Arizona in 2015. Hash Kitchen is where he developed the recipes in this book and ended up launching an empire that has become the go-to destination for the most audacious brunch around.
