Good Day Brunch Hounds,
If you love brunching as much as I do then you’re going to love my Brunch picks. I’m a brunching monster, a real life brunching hound! I’ve been brunching for decades and for me, it just gets better and better with age. Most people want to eat brunch, have a few drinks then leave. Brunching is an art form not to be confused with just eating and drinking. If one chooses to brunch correctly, then one must have the proper brunch plans. One doesn’t just say, “let’s go brunch, pick a place and let’s eat!” No sir, there are brunching rules, regulations, and guidelines that need to be followed in order to brunch correctly and to properly enjoy your brunching!
When I was a young buck, my mom, Carol and my dad, Barney would haul us to Shady Oaks Country Club or River Crest Country Club for Sunday brunch, or what they called Sunday Brunch. Not trying to sound ungrateful at all, but it was always the same old buffets, in the same old places, listening to the same ol’ people, talk about who knows what! Why I was extremely grateful to live and eat in the lap of luxury like a king-tut, it was still torture to me-sitting there smacking on the same ol’ food! I was always trying to come up with excuses about why I need to leave the table. I was so full of dried mini toast, and rack of lamb with that nasty sticky green jelly. I always managed to get up and go get into trouble. I always told myself when I got older Sunday would be Sunday Funday NOT Sunday Bumday.
So that being said let me explain my brunch rules, regulations and guidelines!
First, you must choose a location with a great atmosphere, and friendly folks. This place you choose must have a chef-driven menu with lots of choices. They must have a fantastic selection of spirits and know how to mix fantastic cocktails. Servers must be on point, friendly, and have an extensive knowledge of the brunch menu and options. Last, but not least. You-Can-Not under any circumstances, take an angry or hateful person to your Sunday Funday Brunch.
It just messes up the entire brunching atmosphere.
Brunch options are in no certain order I love all of these locations and yes I drive to Austin and Dallas to BRUNCH. Please be sure and check the hours before brunching.
