(WJBK) - Forest has already made a name for itself among Birmingham's upscale eateries, and now it's time for something new - brunch! They opened up for brunch a few weeks ago, every Saturday from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m.

Executive chef Nick Janutol joins us in the FOX 2 Cooking School to tell us more about their brunch menu, and to show us how they make their french toast. You can get their recipe below.
