There are some days, specifically some mornings, that I just require a little bit more motivation than usual to get up. The world is too cold and too irritating to merit my presence--even my beloved bacon will not budge me. On those days, I conjure up images of puffy golden sugar-dusted pastry and chickory coffee; and then I crawl out of bed go on the hunt for some place exactly like Cafe Beignet.

Buffets have a bad rap. Food critics turn up their noses and mutter things like "over heated" and "utterly American" when referring to the glorious gluttony that is endless vats of super-seasoned and abundant food. Ramsi's Cafe on the World offers a Sunday brunch buffet that even the most snobbish could not criticize; an upscale, but affordable brunch option for the particularly hungry and overindulgent.
The most glorious words you can hear in the morning? In my opinion, they are these: "Would you like a Bloody Mary?" This question is always a lovely one, but is especially welcome on New Year's Day.
I will go to great lengths for a cheeseburger. Walking into the Twig and Leaf for brunch underwhelming.
Wild Eggs is clearly beloved in Louisville. It seems daily my facebook newsfeed is peppered with people trekking there by the dozen for brunch. My boyfriend and I visited the St. Matthews location on Dutchman's Lane, and we were very pleased with our brunch experience.
I am on a quest to find the best brunch in the Louisville area. To me, the very word brunch smacks of luxury. A day that begins with a lovely brunch cannot help but roll along lazily afterward, pleasant and carefree. The Village Anchor offers a brunch to fulfill your most indulgent daydreams, complete with red velvet pancakes, a bacon infused Bloody Mary and crusty biscuits.
Seven a. m. usually finds me groggily groping for a cup of coffee. Any time I drag myself out of the house for a meal before noon, the bar is set especially high by my baseline crabbiness. There is a great deal of hype surrounding Toast on Market (with two locations, on Market Street in Louisville and in New Albany) and despite my grudge against the a. m. hours, Toast exceeded my expectations.
As previously mentioned in my last article, the Glenview Garden Club Tour is taking place on Saturday and Sunday, 10am to 5pm. Tickets are $30 apiece. It has some amazing, sustainable gardens in the line-up. Check out the preview article and look for the full coverage of my tour experience sometime Saturday evening.
You know you love brunch. What's not to love? Brunch practially begs you to sleep in. The menu can run the gamut from pancakes to fried chicken. And just try to come up with another situation when drinking booze before noon is socially acceptable. Brunch is the wild west of meals.
If you don’t normally travel the Bardstown Road corridor with a passenger who is intent on reading every banner and sign, then you may be unaware that one of Louisville’s finest restaurants, Asiatique, is now serving brunch. Hell, you might not know the restaurants even exists.
Every Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. you can take part in its modern Asian-fusion style fare without all the to do of going out to dinner.
