A few weeks ago we went to a café, which shall remain nameless, that charged us $9 per crappy sparkling-wine Mimosa. Luckily for us, we were having a less-thirsty-than-normal morning and only drank two. But our brunch bill was still more than $30 per person for barely average food and two cocktails.
At least there were hot shirtless joggers on the Katy Trail to distract us.
This week, however, we discovered a place where 30 bucks will stretch farther than our super-gay friend’s legs over his head. It’s at Q de Cheval inside the Hotel InterContinental. Yes, it’s in Addison, but don’t you always have to drive to the burbs for bargains?
You may remember our love of their old-school Prime Rib night, but for one Alexander Hamilton more, you get the same hand-carved Prime Rib and then some.
Made-to-order omelets and waffles. Eggs Benedict. Chicken-fried-steak Eggs Benedict. Peel-and-eat shrimp. Smoked salmon and bagels. Breakfast tacos. Fish, chicken and beef entrees. Two giant tables of desserts, cheeses and fresh fruits.
And it seems like we’re forgetting something. Salad? Yes, but that’s not it. A mountain of muffins? Hmmm, not sure. Freshly made soup? Argh.
OH YES! Now we remember. $30 not only gets you all-you-can-eat chef-prepared brunch deliciousness, it also gets you unlimited Bloody Marys, Mimosas, coffee, soft drinks and juice.
Throw in a live violinist who plays hits from Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson as deftly as he does Beethoven’s Fifth (a.k.a. the Judge Judy theme!), and it’s the makings of a memorable Sunday Funday.
We’ll be there again on March 18 sitting in the section of our favorite server, Lillian, so make a reservation and let’s gay up the place!
Now who’s suddenly mapping the route to Addison?
