I Break For Brunch (buffets that is!)
Perhaps
it was an episode of the Simpsons that summed it up best. Homer
selfishly buys Marge a bowling ball for her birthday. Homer's
plot backfires when a french bowling aficionado slash "don juan"
of sorts - Jacques - becomes smitten with Marge at a time when
she was quite vulnerable. Homer was being, well Homer was being
Homer. When our casanova invites Marge to brunch, she replies
with the innocence of a baby's coo - "what is brunch?"
"Its not quite breakfast, its not quite lunch...but ze gives
you a cantaloup at ze end!"
Well said you character on the Simpsons!
Real Brunch my friends! It is NOT the mockery
that some restaurants try to pull off Sunday
after Sunday. Brunch dear eaters is not eggs
benedict with a "complimentary" mimosa or
worse yet coffee for...14.95!
NO. Brunch if done truly right, must be a buffet. Brunch,
not quite breakfast, not quite lunch! Your bacon should be
touching the crouton from your salad, while the cucumber is
brushed ever so slightly with maple syrup! Or, better yet
the butter from your waffle like a river, should run down
to your flank steak over the meat and through the hole of
your ziti! And THEN, THEN give me a mimosa..with free refills!!
That my friends is brunch, a brunch worth paying for!! We
here at MissWit.net BREAK FOR IT! Infact - we sacrifice for
it, and when we can't find it, we make it ourselves...
