I'm no...Wow, Tam, that's a lot at 2:30 am. I'm not even gonna ask.<br /><br />I'll try and answer, as best I can:<br /><br />- Yes, any place that serves breakfast can be a brunch place. Having alcoholic drinks is preferable but not required.<br />- Pupusas are not brunch. Dim sum is not brunch. Pad see euw is not brunch. Brunch involves eggs and either bacon, sausage, or ham. Without those things, it's just lunch.<br />- Any place could conceivably be a brunch place, but the fact is, most places aren't. You have to serve eggs at around lunchtime on the weekend. Not everyone does that.<br /><br />Actually, SF has really stepped up its brunch game in the last few years. It used to be much harder. Now it's pretty easy to have a go-to place without a wait. We have one, but I'm not disclosing it because right now it doesn't have a wait and I want to keep it that way.TKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08123364195474763594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301407940699570948.post-76364258073321662032011-08-02T02:30:09.248-07:002011-08-02T02:30:09.248-07:00OK, innocent inquiry because I just have never got...OK, innocent inquiry because I just have never gotten this: Does brunch have to be at a special brunch place? Does having a Bloody Mary/mimosa/bellini on the menu make it special? Is a line/sign-up sheet required? Why can't just any place that serves all-day breakfast be a brunch place? Then wouldn't the difficulty of finding a brunch place --that luxury problem that I've been hearing about forever in SF-- be solved? Or are there not many of those places? What is the necessary je ne sais quoiness of brunch? Can just eating lunch at a regular lunch place --but it's your first meal of the day so it's technically breakfast-- count? I mean, can I roll out of bed at 10 and call an 11 am pupusa brunch? Do all these ridiculous questions (but valid ones, all!) automatically disqualify me from any potential brunch invites because who wants to explain this shit before they've had their weird weekend savory-sweet-caffeine-alcohol meal?Tamagosanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01583066213197379712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301407940699570948.post-6467099552584626202011-08-01T19:25:11.844-07:002011-08-01T19:25:11.844-07:00Thanks for the review, TK!

I feel like LA totally shows us up when it comes to good breakfast/brunch places.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16357336354056144926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301407940699570948.post-29153828126526560262011-08-01T10:18:20.832-07:002011-08-01T10:18:20.832-07:00We tried Brunch Drunk Love at Bruno's yesterda...We tried Brunch Drunk Love at Bruno's yesterday. Very friendly service. Super good food. But I felt like they were pushing the limits on price-point. $10 non-bottomless (i.e., one) bellini. $3.50 coffee. $13 pancakes.<br /><br />Now, all these things were VERY good, and if the prices don't distress you, you should definitely go, but yeah, the prices.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04395319755814215066noreply@blogger.com
