The Sunday Brunch at Wat Mongkolratanaram Thai Temple in Berkeley features a range of authentic Thai dishes, attracting hundreds of visitors each week. Started in 1980, the brunch is the result of community efforts by volunteers who prepare everything in advance. Chief Chef Jennifer Gerardi leads the kitchen, ensuring that the flavors and presentation reflect the temple's commitment to providing delicious meals. Funds from brunch sales support the temple, making it a key part of the local community and a popular destination for diverse culinary experiences.
"At 10, hundreds of hungry visitors troop in to eat... The brunch started in 1980, when the temple moved to Berkeley from South San Francisco."
"Everything, including the vegetables, (and the ingredients for the foods) was prepped ahead of time," she said.
