We have a winner! After back-to-back failed concepts in the space at 3900 Cedar Springs Road, Peasant Pizzeria has come onto the scene poised to become a regular haunt for years to come. Attentive service, fair prices and (most importantly) killer food work together to create the triple threat needed to succeed in the city’s major LGBT entertainment district. We were invited […]
Who doesn’t love a good poke on a regular basis? Same can be said for a good poké. (Ah, what a difference one little accent makes.) If you’re into the basic idea of brunch, but possibly not the more traditional hollandaise-soaked encounters, we have a suggestion. For a fresh, healthy brunch this Sunday, head to Malibu Poké. Don’t worry, you can still get […]
If you love oysters, then you’re going to become infatuated with brunch at Hudson House. The new brunch menu debuted last Saturday and we were among the first people to take it for a spin. The seafood-centric angle of the restaurant makes itself known immediately when THE Royal Bloody hits the table. Not only does it feature a well-balanced, just-spicy-enough housemade […]
Do you hear that? Listen closer. Brunch is calling! And in order to answer correctly, you need to make a reservation now for the new brunch at Al Biernat’s North. If you haven’t been to this recently opened location in the former Del Frisco’s space, you won’t see a single Ghost of Steak Houses Past. The restaurant has been completely transformed from […]
We haven’t been to Italy in over a decade. Sad, but true. Yet every once in a while we have a bite of food that immediately transports us back to the streets of Rome. (Or the dark side alleys of Florence, but that’s another story.) This past weekend, we were invited to try out the brunch at Crudo, a new Italian […]
One of the best brunch spots in the city doesn’t do brunch. Except on very rare occasions. That’s why we’re picking Five Sixty by Wolfgang Puck as our Brunch of the Week because this April 1 is your opportunity to experience the fab cuisine at this iconic rotating restaurant during full daylight. (No foolin’!) Executive Chef Jacob Williamson offers a special […]
We get invited to try a lot of places for brunch. Well, every meal imaginable, really. But we always say the truest testament to a restaurant’s appeal is when we return on our own when somebody else isn’t footing the bill. And that’s exactly what’s happened when DC-based Matchbox American Kitchen + Spirit debuted its first Texas restaurant in the […]
As much as we love new releases, we always enjoy making time for a few greatest hits. Once we switched from our Brunch of the Month feature to a Brunch of the Week recommendation, we’ve been able to focus on restaurants that have been doing brunch for years instead of simply highlighting the latest openings. Case in point: Le Bilboquet. We’d never tried […]
There was a time when Sunday School was our favorite time of the week. Mostly because we had a kick-ass ability to memorize Bible verses better than anyone else in class. And damn if we didn’t love being rewarded with stickers and Munchkins from Dunkin Donuts. Today, we couldn’t quote much from the Bible other than “In the beginning…” and something […]
If you want your baby back, baby back, baby back, you’re out of luck on Knox Street. But if you want something waaaaay better than what was served in the former Chili’s it occupies, try Up on Knox this weekend. Not only is the space amazingly cool—and completely free of the chain-restaurant ghosts of its past—brunch here is one of our favorites of the […]
