I do brunch almost every Sunday. They like to put us in the back because our conversation tends to horrify the other patrons.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I need to have a brunch at my place again some day. They were always fun, and it's been too long.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I can't really wrap my head around a buffet-style brunch.

I would try and fail to get my department to switch from Twitter for the next conference backchannel channel. Two people would egg me on, five would never have heard of it, and the rest would just @@.

If they didn't get it and failed to use profanity, they would just keep getting the error message, "It's calling swearing(tm) you fucking dumbass."

I can't stand buffet brunches- my parents love them though. Breakfast foods do not do well in chafing dishes and I have to say I am not a fan of the make your own omelette. Too much egg and the filling choices always seem to pretty bleh IME. When in these situations, I tend to suck back bloody marys and try to choke down some bacon and breakfast potatoes.

For me, brunch out is a kind of fancy but relaxed affair (a la Zazie's). Brunch in is coffee, juice, mimosas, bagels, salmon, and maybe a spanish tortilla.

I think almost every brunch I've been to in a restaurant has been a buffet. Though this my say more about the sophistication of my dining choices than brunch.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Brunch this year for Easter was very breakfasty -- quiche , salmon and bagles -- and people brought salads, croissants, and baked french toast. However, breakfast is my favorite meal -- I was happy. there was also lots of coffee and various kinds of juice and fruit pulp to mix with champagne.

I'm not a fan of buffets in general.

Our wings are not tired.

We have a few very nice buffet-style brunch options, but the best brunch in town is the Sundy House. [link] Seriously yummy. The place is gorgeous too.

I've been to some very good buffets, but , in general, buffets are filled with mediocre food. The Best breckfast buffets are small, so that everything stays fresh and hot and not overcooked or soggy
