Nothing is worse than waking up Saturday or Sunday morning and having no clue where to get your next meal. Don’t worry, we’ve been there, and that’s why we don’t want you to go through the same pain. It’s also why we made you a directory, all in one place, of restaurants we find worthy of your brunch adventures.
Consider it a way to jog your memory and inspire new ideas. Think we missed something? Well then, yell at your computer in disbelief, or shoot us an email with some suggestions instead. The goal is for this directory to continually evolve – like a chia pet.
Have fun out there.
