Settling These Brunch Debates

Recently, I went to my first virtual brunch with two of my best friends, Intellectual Diva, ID, and Beatie Boo, LJ. I believe Brunch is the favorite meal of everyone in my friend group. Of course, when you're hanging with friends it has to be a good time. And it was.

We had turkey sausage, bacon, eggs, toast, fruit on our Social Distanced plates. And we sipped rum punch, mimosas, & poinsettia punch as we talked & laughed with one another via screens. Well, that cheerful interaction is what inspired this post. What are the tastiest things to have at Brunch? Well, I'll give you 10 of them.

10 of the Tastiest Brunch Items

10. Chicken & Waffles 

Though it has become so trendy & popular, it is really delicious. The savory & sweet contrast of this meal is almost perfect.

9. Steak & Eggs

It's a very classic dish. And some weekend mornings call for the rich indulgence of butter & sizzling from it.

8. Monté Cristo
Ham, Turkey, Cheese Fried in Battered Bread (sometimes French Toast) garnished with confectioners sugar & raspberry preserves probably doesn't make the healthiest sandwich. But this is brunch, eat better before & after you indulge in this.

7. Shrimp Newburg with Saffron Rice & Greens

I told you guys in this POST, at a brunch once in Maryland, I got a chance to have Shrimp Newburg. I noticed how the locals were dishing it up on their plates. So, when in Rome... 

6. Brunch Burrito (w/o Scrambled Eggs)

I'm not a fan of scrambled eggs(texture)(There are two exceptions, Omelets & Pancake Pot Pie.) It's like combining everything on your plate in a wrap. Sounds easy & convenient.

5. Poinsettia Punch

I'll say it! Orange juice & champagne though sometimes bottomless can become boring & common. Cranberry juice, St Germaine, vodka, & champagne is refreshing to find on any brunch menu.

4. Fruit Salad

Hey, it all can't be rich, gooey, & fried. I think fruit is the most pairable dish in the culinary world. What other dish can also be an appetizer or dessert? You can find a good recipe for it with a Poppy Seed dressing and the Poinsettia Punch, HERE.

3. Pancake Pot Pie

At a restaurant called Ellen's in Dallas' West End, they combine layers of pancakes, maple cream sausage & onion gravy, crumbled hickory bacon, browned sausage, hash browns, scrambled eggs, and cheddar cheese. It's enough meal for two. And if you get hooked(like others I told about it have) blame my friend, Pink Red. She was the person who introduced it to me.

2. Pot Roast Hash

First of all, if you haven't ever made hash the next day after a Pot Roast dinner, you haven't lived. Now, add an egg(any style) and you might thank me for the next day.

1. Chicken Biscuit Sandwich
This has to be what the word "comfort food" dreams about. Your favorite from a fast food place is cute. But this (Like the one at 303 Grill in Dallas) hugs you like a blanket. 


Honorable Mentions are a Ham Sandwich with Fig & Sage Jam(In Dallas, go to Nova in Bishop Arts), Denver Omelet, & Bottom-less Mimosas.

Well, you can see, when I go to Brunch, I tend to go in. I mean if something is going to be your favorite meal, it has to have delightful food. Is my list your truth, also? Probably not! What is your Tastiest Brunch Item list? I want to see it.
