#ATODBrunchHop – Just a Spoonful of Sugar Makes the Medicine Go Down …
And by medicine, I mean a good cocktail in the morning on a Saturday or Sunday. We’re here to encourage you to enjoy the freedom of a work-free weekend.
Brunch, you happy in-between on a Saturday and Sunday mid-morning … You. Are. Exquisite.
And MIXOLOGISTS who serve us without an ounce of judgment at 11 o’clock in the morning? We salute you.
(and no doubt will tip you well as the hours go on.)
So here’s my take: In life, we really all deserve a break. A meal to comfort our souls, a happy libation to sooth the weekly stresses, and more often than not, spending that time with friends or loved ones that sit back, sip happily alongside you, and live and let live. And that, my dear readers, is why chefs invented brunch. Really, I’m pretty sure that’s it.
On the off chance I’m right, I figured you may need a little direction while you adventure onto the #BrunchTerrain.
