Fraser is known for his use of farm-fresh produce and classical European technique.
Recently, Dovetail began serving brunch, so The Saturday Early Show challenged Fraser to prepare a three-star, three-course brunch for four on our shoestring budget of just $40.
He opted for dishes straight from Dovetail's menu.

FOOD FACTS:
Frittata: A type of Italian omelette that frequently features fillings such as meats, cheeses, and vegetables. Like a traditional French omelet, a frittata is prepared in a skillet. However, while an omelet is cooked on a stovetop and served folded, a frittata is first partially cooked on a stovetop, but then broiled to finish and served open-faced.
Brioche: A highly-enriched French bread, whose high egg and butter content give it what's seen as a rich and tender crumb. It has a dark, golden and flaky crust from an egg wash applied before and after proofing.
