The Forager’s Benedict at Kumama in Pine Bungalows celebrates mushrooms/Jennifer Bain

WHAT: Forager’s Benedict

WHERE: Kumama Bistro and Canteen, Pine Bungalows, 2 Cottonwood Creek Rd., Jasper, Alberta

PRICE: $22

DISH DECONSTRUCTION: This benny takes 64C eggs (that’s code for a sous vide-style cooking method that creates soft, tender whites and custard-like yolks) and pairs them with nicely seasoned wild mushrooms, pine nuts and brown butter hollandaise on a house brioche with a microgreen garnish and a side of dressed greens.

WHY: I’ve been out of the food loop for a hot minute and so love it when I need to google something on a menu (like 64-degree egg). Also these mushrooms were luscious and it was nice to have a change from English muffins as the base.

FUN FACT: Japanese for bear, Kumama is a seasonal spot that “hibernates” every winter. This hidden gem, minutes from downtown Jasper, is open for breakfast and dinner, while the canteen is open through the day.
