It was when I was in college. I lived on campus so I survived off the campus cafeteria. Brunch was every Saturday and Sunday from 10am-2pm.

 

[SeanC]

Oh yeah, LA people love their brunches. And I like them too. Bottomless Bloody Mary's n shit, bruh.

 

[Shadybiz]

Not for me. But...sometimes I'll have a beer at 10:00 on a Saturday...if that counts.

 

[WaffleTaco]

It's a "thing" for snobs. Call it whatever you want, you either have breakfast or lunch. And if you start drinking before 12, you might have a problem.

 

[sikkinixx]

Brunch buffet at the pub down the road is actually pretttttty good for $13, especially if you get it all fresh.

 

[Regiruler]

My dining hall doesn't have normal time breakfast on weekends, it's replaced with brunch.

It's a mixed blessing.

 

[MC Safety]

You know who likes brunch?

This guy.

 

[ezrarh]

Brunch has been a thing long enough that you already had an article saying it's for jerks in NYC 2 years ago

 

[John Kowalski]

I drink some water to keep hydrated.

 

[Darryl]

Brunch is a big thing everywhere. OP, time to start traveling more.

I eat brunch all the time but what op is talking about, "brunch", aka dedicated menus and mimosa specials, are for certain types of people and it's no shame to not be one of those people yet. traveling has nothing to do with it, more has to do with your social circles

working class people in particular couldn't fathom dropping $50 for two to get drunk on a Sunday morning

 

[BumRush]

Bloody Mary vs. Mimosa is one of the greatest debates mankind has ever had.

Spoiler

Bloody Mary all day, every day

 

[theRizzle]

How can there possibly be so much vitriol for something that is basically just a word for breakfast food around or slightly before lunch time? I can't comprehend how some of you are able to function in daily life, unless you are totally normal people until you log on to GAF to dump all of your misery.

You guys must really hate people who eat breakfast for supper.

 

[johnsmith]

Yes, Utah is big on brunch. It's a white people thing.

 

[Sch1sm]

I went to brunch just today. Live in Toronto.

 

[smoothj]

Yo a seafood brunch after a night out... whooooooo boy I tell you what.

 

[2MF]

I do brunch, lunner and even brunner. Not sure if there's such a thing as a brinner though.

 

[backflip10019]

old people do this.
Also, mimosas.

Brunch is like 90% 20-something basic bitches in NYC. #sundayfunday

 

[Bread]

Fuck yeah brunch is a thing by me, it is an incredible thing.

Bloody mary and breakfast? I'd do that every day if I could.

Yeah seriously what the hell. Also why do people assume it necessarily involves getting drunk or consuming alcohol at all?

Now what's really snobbish is High Tea.

Most brunch menus are not any more expensive than that restaurants normal menu, unless they offer a bottomless drink special.

 

[Cat in the Hat]

Here in san diego nearly every single person i know does this regularly including me. It is amazing and huge here. No place does it better in the whole world i've seen.

 

[Breakage]

Isn't every hour of the day eating time in the US? That's what I heard.

 

[Relix]

Every Sunday I go out to have brunch at some kind of restaurant. So...fucking.. good!!!!!

 

[Fuzzy]

Brunch: When you wake up at 11 and want some breakfast and booze.

This is the modern brunch I now know from living in a city. Dedicated menus with chef-driven fare. Bloody Marys with all manner of crazy garnishes sticking out of them, as well as other cocktails (not just mimosas).

This isn't your grandma's Sunday brunch and there are no warming trays to be found.

This guy is absolutely no fun.

Only visted SD once for a few days, stayed downtown at the Omni for work. I'd love to go back. Didn't have one crappy meal the whole time, and that went from "fine dining" to Brian's 24 to a taco truck in a Walmart parking lot.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

I don't believe in brunch

 

[DizzyCaffeine]

I'm starting to hate brunches because it's a waste a money unless you gorge yourself on mediocre food and Andre's champagne.

 

[Sch1sm]

I don't believe in brunch

Horses only eat apples.

 

[Lkr]

Hey GAF, is toast a thing near you? I'm just wondering, it might just be the town where I live but it seems like people here are buying machines that heat bread and make the sides crunchy. Anyone ever heard of this?

This actually just came to my area a few weeks ago. It's alright but I don't understand the hype. Do you put anything on it?

 

[itwasTuesday]

2nd breakfast

 

[jambo]

It's an Australian way of life

 

[Goro Majima]

Brunch is for snobs?

The brunch menu is usually the cheapest menu of the week for most restaurants. At least that was my experience in Houston. The places that charge $8 per mimosa are bullshit though. Give me bottomless or I'm not going.

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

What about second breakfast??

 

[Bread]

That sounds terrible lmao, who would ruin bread like that.

 

[LyleLanley]

God damn it.

 

[Azzurri]

It's a big thing with younger working professionals in most major cities.

Plus, Sunday Funday

 

[Puppet Shadow]

Does brunch even exist on a day other than the weekend?

I think the idea is that people stay up later on Friday and Saturdays nights, so they sleep in on the weekend. If you want to eat out, by the time you get to the restaurant it's 10 - 11 am, so you eat a meal that covers both breakfast (that you missed)... and lunch (because it's not like you're not going to be eating lunch an or two later).

Us old folks figured this out years ago

Spoiler

even though we're in bed by 8:30pm.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Yes we have old people here too.

 

[Sch1sm]

Does brunch even exist on a day other than the weekend?

I can get it any day of the week without additional effort.

 

[AnAnole]

I dont believe in breakfast, lunch and dinner. I eat whatever I want when I want. Fuck precribed times for eating certain things.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Just call it lunch

 

[phanphare]

I'm from the south

of course brunch is a thing by me

lived in charleston for a bit too and god damn do they have some excellent brunch spots

Just call it lunch

bless your heart

 

[LyleLanley]

Brunch isn't an old person thing anymore. It's a bunch of young people drinking unlimited mimosas and screwdrivers before noon.

 

[WedgeX]

Just call it lunch

Lunch is the time for sandwiches.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Beat me to it.

Also, that screenshot is about 26 years old. So yeah, it's been a thing for a while.

 

[marthurstewart]

I can't believe I'm the first person to even mention the absolute glory that is Mexican brunch.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Lunch is the time for sandwiches.

But what about breakfast sandwiches

 

[jesu]

I have my lunch at 11 so I think it is.
