i am, you could say, obsessed with brunch. i love it. i have brunch whenever i can. clearly that's out of the question during workdays. but whenever i'm around for a lazy saturday or sunday, brunch is definitely on the docket. it's so great! you don't have to wake up early. you can have breakfast food or lunch food--clearly the best of the three meals to begin with. you almost always get fruit. the coffee is good. and it's perfectly acceptable to have champagne! what more could you ask for? it's the perfect meal. and you can find out how it all began in today's slate, which traces the evolution of brunch. mmm, them's good eats!
