Brunch Of The Week: Keep That Ugly Sweater Handy

The day after Christmas has always been a melancholy one for us. All the build-up to a big holiday celebration and then it’s over like a flash. But this year, we have something to look forward to thanks to Lochland’s Food and Spirits and their special ugly-sweater-themed Boxing Day Brunch. Because why not wear your favorite one last time before sending […]

Brunch Of The Week: Get Your Motor Running

Our favorite new brunch spot has revved up our weekend patio game. From the brilliant mind of Kim Finch, creator of such boozy hotspots as Double Wide and Single Wide comes Thunderbird Station. Once a circa-1922 gas station at the edge of Deep Ellum and Expo Park, Thunderbird Station opened in September 2020 and launched brunch this past August and […]

Brunch Of The Week: Nothing Like A Virgin

It only took us a year to finally make it to Commons Club for Drag Brunch. But damn if it wasn’t worth the wait. Hostess with the moistest, Jenni P (pictured above), keeps the raucous affair moving at a brisk pace so there’s never even the slightest chance of a dull moment. Working the room, her comedic talents shine as […]

Brunch Of The Week: Son Of A Beach

Ever since the cold weather hit us hard yesterday, we’ve been dreaming of days spent in the sun and sand of Puerto Vallarta, our happiest of Happy Places in Mexico. Sadly, we don’t have time in our schedule to go until early 2022. But at least we can get some sense memories activated during brunch at Jalisco Norte. Much like […]

Brunch Of The Week: Southern Comforts

Baaaarrrunch, y’all. That’s how we say brunch when we’re putting on our otherwise non-existent southern drawl. And it’s more than appropriate when visiting Ida Claire in Addison, one of our favorite spots for elevated homestyle comfort food favorites any time of day. But brunch is extra special and somehow even more decadent than we’d ever hoped. Cocktails start at only […]

Brunch Of The Week: C’mon Get Happiest

Prime patio season is officially upon us. And few places in town have better outdoor digs than Happiest Hour in the Harwood District. And even fewer places have heartier brunch options, either. Plus, everything on the brunch menu has a creative twist. The Crab Cake Benedict gets extra richness from poblano butter. Boozy French Toast comes with Fireball maple syrup […]

Brunch Of The Week: Down On All Fours

In honor of Hump Day (or in this case, Dogs Humping Your Leg Day), we’re bringing you our Brunch of the Week selection a bit early. But now you have time to plan a bit before this weekend’s festivities.  Ellie’s Restaurant & Lounge hosts a special Howl-O-Ween Brunch from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. this Saturday and it’s an ideal kick-off to […]

Brunch Of The Week: Egg Day At The Gym

We work out every day in an attempt to stay somewhat, sorta, kinda in shape. Especially now that we don’t have lockdowns and quarantines as an excuse to eat poorly (and often). So the fewer temptations that present themselves to us, the better. Well, that all changed as soon as Primo’s MX Kitchen opened downstairs from our health club, Equinox […]

Brunch Of The Week: Fine Dining That’s Actually Fun

Even after all these years, few places will ever rival the Fearing’s experience at the Ritz-Carlton, Dallas. Chef Dean Fearing (pictured above) and his team execute flawless meals morning, noon and night at his namesake Fearing’s Restaurant, so it should come as little surprise that brunch here becomes a truly special occasion, even if it’s just a plain, ordinary Sunday. […]

Brunch Of The Week: Cereal That’s Killer

Lucky Charms with Kahlua instead of milk? Brings back memories of getting sent to the principal’s office for falling down drunk during the Pledge of Allegiance in our fifth-grade homeroom class. That was the last time we ever ate from our Mom’s breakfast bowl by mistake. Well, now you can taste the indulgent decadence of sweet cereal topped with sweet […]
