Sunday Brunch: What are your favorites?

[Kiki Cannoli]

Personally, I love big hotel buffet brunches with lots of seafood, live jazz and the champagne a'flowin. Alas I was born with champagne taste and a beer budget.

If you were to attend a brunch in a private home,

What would you really like to be served?

What couldn't you live without?

Buffet or sitdown?

If you were asked to contribute, what dish would you bring?

Brunch..... served to me? LOL...

lets see... sit down

Fruit salad. Papaya, Honey dew melon and blackberries.
Eggs Benedict with truffle pate and roasted asparagus.
Crapes with vanilla mascarpone, caramelized bananas and rum butter sauce.
Coffee
Ruby red grapefruit juice.


If asked to bring something.... and they always ask me to bring something... the answer always is... whatever you want.

Sleep in very late...

Pizza or KFC in front of NFL football pregame shows. (+beer)

BBQ if the weather is nice.

Yum. Start with very strong coffee, an Italian or French roast with half and half with a warm croissant sided by a small fruit salad loaded with berries.

Next a second cup of joe, served with diced red potato fried with onion and bell pepper, a 'soft' free range three egg omlette with with mushrooms, spinich and havarti cheese.

Finally, a third cup of coffee with something sweet; a pastry with real apricot filling or a custard tart.

Of course that was when I wore a younger man's clothes. Today Sunday brunch is coffee, toast with peanut butter and maybe an omlette made from egg beaters with onions.

btw, if you like big breakfasts and can't wait until Sunday, take a cruise.

Eggs Benedict.

Fresh fruit, too.

Here is what I gathered from the MUCH appreciated feedback...

Eggs and coffee are a must.

Fresh luscious ripe fruit is preferred.

Syrenn should cook for us....

Would a variety of quiche work in place of 'eggs?' My guest list is increasing.

I am leaning toward all the aforementiond fruits/eggs and coffee, a hot pot such as minestrone or pasta bolognese or chili verde, fresh muffins/croissants/breads, sangria, smoked oysters/cheese, and a standing roast.


BTW, this is for an upcoming event, not tomorrow!

 

[Kiki Cannoli]

slight t/j but not to exclude...syreen and wry cather are from the bay area...

gotta ask...where is your favorite brunch served?

High end for me...Top of the Mark...but i haven't been in years so...but it was magnificent.

Low down gotta eat and hang out, the Phoenix on Valencia then bloody mary's at the zeigeist.

Do you really have to ask.....The best brunch is served in my dining room of course

High end... i am sentimental about the Garden Court at the palace. I am terribly sorry that the Crown Room in the Fairmont no longer serves Sunday brunch..... The place that makes me happy.... is Sears Fine Foods

So what type of event? Are you the one cooking?

 

[Dabs]

Applebee's has this fantastic Spinach Dip served with the chips. I love that stuff! But, I hate spinach ~LoL~
But this dip has spinach and artichoke and cheese, so the spinach doesn't bother me...that would be what I would like for a brunch
As for bringing anything, anywhere, I'd be happy to bring whatever was asked. I really can cook, I just don't do it much, anymore~

OK... now...for how many people? And when is this thing? And are you a good cook?
yes i am quizzing you on the parameters before i give you an answer.

 

[Grace]

1 or 2 slices thin bacon, 1 over medium egg. No toast or bread anymore unless it is gluten free. Sometimes hashbrowns, but rarely now. Banana smoothie.

 

[ColdWarVeteran]

Today, brunch was a large (cold) German beer and Texas BBQ (brisket, ribs, charro beans, grilled chicken and grilled corn). I ate so much I could barely stand up!

I am an excellent cook and do quite well juggling entertaining/delicate menus/individual needs. 10-12 guests. next sunday. 11am. i live where people don't really arrive at a given hour, so sit down will not work; I've given this thought.

syrenn, my online kitchen goddess...yeah!
