Getting Back to Brunch



Today many people get caught up in the culture of faster is better. From smart phones and DVR's to fast food and social media the pace of life is spinning at a hectic speed and sometimes we all need a moment to put on the brakes and relax. Once a time honored tradition that began in England in the late 1800's, brunch is a great chance to take a much needed break from modern society and enjoy great breakfast and lunch cuisine with family and friends. Today you can still find elegant and casual banquet facilities, restaurants and special occasion venues that will host a classic Sunday brunch.
Though many hotels and restaurants now serve brunch on special occasions including Mother's Day, Valentine's Day and Easter there are still places that will offer up a Sunday brunch menu on a regular basis. The idea of brunch has always been to get together with family and friends so everyone could catch up from their busy week. Most people work Monday through Friday and will spend Saturday getting to chores and errands they didn't get to during the week. This means many people will enjoy sleeping in on Sundays and getting up later in the morning, usually past the regular breakfast time. So, the original idea was to encourage people to relax on Sundays and instead of missing breakfast or having lunch too early, combine the two and have what is known as brunch.
Brunch often includes a nice balance of both breakfast and lunch foods including eggs, French toast, salads, soups, roasted chicken and a wide assortment of dessert items. Brunch will also include an eclectic mix of drinks that include Mimosas, Bloody Marys and Bellini's. Other traditional foods that can be found at most brunch stations include granola and yogurt parfaits, a wide assortment of fresh fruit, fresh baked muffins and bagels, pasta and fish. Giving guests a wide variety of choices is the best way to ensure a brunch will be successful. Some come for the breakfast and some for lunch but having enough of both will ensure no one will be left out.
If you own or operate a restaurant, banquet facility or hotel and want to add a special event to your weekly calendar consider a classic brunch that will encourage more families to put their busy schedules on hold so they can reconnect with one another over a delicious and relaxing meal. Don't be afraid to mix up your brunch menu either, having traditional foods is a good idea but spice things up from week to week with special dishes that will entice patrons to keep coming back in anticipation of something new. Turn the phones and TV off and get back toSunday brunch to enjoy time with your family and friends.
