JENNIFER: WELCOME BACK FOR SUNDAY BRUNCH THIS MORNING.
WE'RE AT THE ORIGINAL IRON ROOSTER IN ANNAPOLIS.
A WBAL-TV SUNDAY MORNING FAVORITE ACROSS FROM THE CITY DOCK.
TONS OF OUTDOOR SEATING AND COMFORT FOOD.
JOINING US THIS MORNING, OWNER KYLE ALGAZE.
GOOD MORNING.
>> LIVE ON LOCATION, THIS IS WAY DIFFERENT FOR US THAN TYPICAL.
JENNIFER: NORMALLY, WE'RE IN THE KITCHEN SET.
THIS PLACE HAS ATMOSPHERE.
>> WE'RE IN THE BRICK ROOM.
THIS BUILDING IS 110 YEARS OLD AND THIS ROOM IS ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE ENTIRE RESTAURANT.
PEOPLE LOVE SITTING IN THIS ROOM.
THEY ASK SPECIFICALLY CAN THEY SIT IN THIS ROOM.
IT'S GOT COOL BRICK.
IT'S BEEN HERE FOREVER.
WE LOVE IT.
JENNIFER: THEY'LL WISH THEY WERE IN HERE RIGHT NOW.
YOU'RE COOKING APPLES.
>> YES.
WE'VE GOT A FALL MENU COMING OUT TOMORROW.
AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO GET ALL OF THESE ITEMS THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK, WE'RE RUNNING THESE ITEMS.
THIS IS ONE OF OUR DESSERT ITEMS WE DECIDED TO RUN FOR FALL.
EVERYBODY LOVES APPLES, ESPECIALLY IN THE FALL.
JENNIFER: PERFECT FOR THE SEASON.
>> EXACTLY.
I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF THINGS TO PREPARE.
I'VE GOT SLICED APPLES ALREADY, I'M GOING TO PUT INTO A SAUTE PAN.
JENNIFER: ARE THESE GREEN APPLES?
>> YOU CAN USE GREEN OR RED.
THE KEY IS IF YOU HAVE APPLES THAT ARE STARTING TO TURN, YOU CAN USE THOSE.
YOU'RE GOING TO COOK THEM DOWN.
IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE AS PRESSURE.
INTO A SAUTE PAN, WE'LL PUT GINGER, CINNAMON, BROWN SUGAR.
JENNIFER: IT DOESN'T TAKE TOO LONG TO COOK DOWN.
>> IT DOESN'T.
IT'S A QUICK -- ONCE YOU'VE COOKED THE APPLES DOWN, WE ADD A LITTLE BIT OF ORANGE JUICE AND LET IT COOK.
YOU'LL START TO SEE THE BROWN CONSISTENCY ONCE THE CINNAMON AND THE GINGER HIT.
START TO PICK UP THE SMELL TOO.
JENNIFER: THEY SMELL SO GOOD.
>> THE KEY IS TO GET THE APPLES MUSHY.
WE PREPARED A FRIED WAFFLE.
SO WE TAKE A WAFFLE, DEEP FRY IT, MORE DEEP FRYING, THROW IT IN SUGAR, BROWN SHUG A KIND OF TOSS IT IN THERE, GET IT NIECE AND SUGARY AND PUT APPLES ON TOP OF THAT.
YOU'VE GOT A COOKED PAN OF APPLES.
JENNIFER: HERE'S THE SUGARY, CRISPY WAFFLE.
>> IT'S CRISPY AND THE FRIED COMPONENT DOES IT.
IT'S GOT A FUNNEL CAKE CONSISTENCY, LIKE IT'S GOT A LITTLE CRUNCH ON THE OUTSIDE.
JENNIFER: LIKE A SANDWICH.
HOW DID I DO?
>> PERFECT.
PROBABLY THE BEST PLATING YOU'VE EVER DONE WITH ME.
JENNIFER: THAT'S SAYING A LOT, RIGHT?
NO CUTTING QUESADILLAS FOR US, THAT'S FOR SURE.
YOU HAVE YOUR ROOS-TART HERE.
>> WE HAVE THE APPLE AND THE PUMPKIN FOR THE FALL.
JENNIFER: WHAT DOES BETTER, APPLE OR PUMPKIN?
>> PUMPKIN AT THE BEGINNING OF FALL, EVERYBODY LOVES IT.
WE'VE MOVED IT INTO AUGUST.
ONCE WE GET INTO NOVEMBER, PEOPLE WANT APPLES.
THEY FEEL LIKE IT BRINGS IT FALL SWING INTO FALL.
JENNIFER: YOU'VE GOT YOUR POT PIE.
>> POT PIE IS COMING BACK.
WE DIDN'T RUN IT THIS SUMMER WITH ALL THAT WAS GOING ON, BUT DECIDED THAT FOR THE FALL, PEOPLE LOVE COMFORT FOOD AND ARE EXCITED FOR IT.
JENNIFER: IS IT CHICKEN?
>> WE TOP IT WITH BISCUIT DOE, CHICKEN WITH A BISCUIT ON TOP.
YOU HAVE A SOFT BISCUIT UNDERNEATH AND THE CRISPY EXTERIOR.
JENNIFER: THAT'S ONE SERVING?
>> YEP, ONE SERVING.
JENNIFER: YOU HAVE A BIG FUNDRAISER COMING UP.
>> WE'RE HOPING TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE SIXTH ANNUAL TAYLOR WILD FOREVER SMILES GOLF TOURNAMENT.
