Gillian Gallagher Wins Cash Prize For 1st Place In First-Ever Brunch Battle

COLUMBIA, Md. (WJZ) -- The first-ever brunch battle now has a winner, and one teen got the $500 cash prize for having the best breakfast bites.

Ten teams faced off Wednesday morning at the Restaurant Association of Maryland's Howard County office.

The teens worked with chefs from across the state to create their favorite brunch dishes in one hour.

It was Gillian Gallagher who took the top prize for her apple pecan waffle with bacon and a sweet potato hash!

This win means her chef mentor, Dan Wecker, is now competing for Team Maryland in the bacon category at the 2021 World Food Championships in Texas!
