This Sunday is one of the best brunch days of the year. Because most of us have Monday off, that means we can ramp up our mimosa intake from our conservative six to somewhere in the neighborhood of 217. And even though TABC is ruining our buzz by cracking down on bottomless cocktails, DISH serves up a nice big 12-ounce […]
April’s almost over, but that doesn’t mean we’ve forgotten our Brunch of the Month feature. In fact, we kind of knew what it was going to be without ever tasting a bite. But what fun would that be? So after giving Belly & Trumpet a couple weeks to hit their brunchy stride, we went in and feasted like fatties. And […]
Sunday brunch in the winter often makes us sad. Because brunch is best enjoyed on a patio and when it’s cold and dreary, somehow our endless Mimosas and Bloody Marys don’t taste as good under a roof. So we’re thrilled that the weather’s getting nice and the sun is expected to shine all weekend. But that’s not the only reason […]
Walk inside Jack’s Southern Comfort Food and surrender. In here, there are no diets. No calorie counting. No obsession over carbs. Just glorious flavors and decadence in abundance. At Jack’s, let your taste buds play and send your belt goes on vacation. Because this is where biscuits arrive the size of a perky C-cup. Start with one slathered in maple […]
Few places on earth make better breakfasts than a good, old-fashioned diner. So what happens when you take said eatery and bring in a chef to run a kitchen turning out one fantastic dish after another? Welcome to the Front Room at Hotel Lumen, a wonderful new restaurant with all the staples of a diner, only nicer. Much nicer. It’s […]
After approximately 200 brunches (and 60 Brunches of the Month) under our belts (literally) since the inception of Gay List Daily five years ago, it takes a lot more than a $2 bottomless Mimosa and 50¢ Bloody Marys to impress us. (But if you find some place that serves either of those that cheaply, please let us know!) We’re used […]
Most people mistakenly think the word brunch is a combination of the words “breakfast” and “lunch.” But most people would be wrong. If you dig deep into the word’s etymology, you will discover that brunch is really a slang term for brutishly French because back in the days of the Napoleonic Wars, soldiers prepared for daily battle with a strict […]
There’s many a brunch where we’ve left spinning. But only one where we start out that way. That’s because Five Sixty by Wolfgang Puck (the revolving restaurant at the top of Reunion Tower) is now serving brunch. However, this is no ordinary egg-centric endeavor. Instead, true to the Asian influence of Puck’s dinner menu, Executive Chef Patton Robertson has created […]
How hung is your pig? You’ve probably never taken the time to measure. But the Hung Pig sandwich on the new brunch menu at Village Marquee Grill & Bar is a well-endowed monster of porky goodness (above). Filled with house-made sausage, barbecue pulled pork, thick-cut bacon, a fried egg and horseradish mayo, it’s the perfect embodiment of brunch. It’s got […]
Bloody Mary bars are starting to scare us. Last time we partook of one, the man who left the restroom before us (without washing his hands) immediately went over and started fingering the celery. Game over. We won’t tell you where that happened, but rest assured, you’ll never see that establishment in the fine digital pages of Gay List Daily. […]
