As far as the most creative the Bosscat Kitchen and Libations takes the cake - literally! The innovative establishment servd it's 'Bedrock Breakfast,' which was an interesting mix of: cotton cheesecake, chorizo, whipped cream, fruity pebbles, bourbon maple caramel. The package was intriguing and attendees loved the bright colors as it was very photogenic.
