Just like ZM radio host Georgia Burt: During the week you’ll find her busy in the studio on the Jam Packed Workday with Georgia show, but in the weekend she loves to kick back on Sunday mornings and enjoy a leisurely brunch. And Georgia’s pick for a delicious go-to recipe? It’s the Bürgen Open Sandwich, with tomatoes, bocconcini and pesto. “It’s just like a Caprese salad and makes me think of being in Italy – the perfect place to relax and enjoy great food,” Georgia says.
