For the uninitiated, brunch is simply a late morning to early afternoon repast usually eaten on the weekends—on Sundays in particular. However, for those in the know, this otherworldly meal offers scrumptious dishes exuding robust, savory flavors distinct from typical breakfast and lunch fare.
A brunch buffet spread may include delectable items such as warm coddled eggs garnished with chives and crispy croutons, heavenly huevos rancheros, mouthwatering bacon and cheese quiches, semisweet sandwiches filled with dark chocolate and hazelnut butter, and tartines topped with luscious cream cheese and smoky lox. As for beverages, rounds of bottomless mimosas and tall Bloody Mary glasses are not out of the norm.
While the origin and history of brunch may be ambiguous, there is little uncertainty about this meal’s impact on the culinary scene. From mom and pop shops to upscale establishments, restaurants nationwide have embraced the craze that is brunch. As a matter of fact, some places have even started serving brunch dishes every day of the week instead of reserving it especially for the weekend. With that said, here are the best eateries in the United States to indulge in brunch.
