Anvil Pub
Where: Dallas, Texas
Why: It’s the anti-brunch. The restaurant literally has a menu item called “Fuck Brunch,” and it’s a Bloody Mary meal. Literally: a double Bloody with skewer sticks stuck to the brim, full of snacks, and slammed into your glass of alcohol.
What To Eat: Nothing. Start drinking. It’s all about day drunk boozing here.
Mad Donna’s
Where: Nashville, Tenn.
Why: It has two for one mimosas and Bloody Marys on Sunday featuring special flavored combinations, like white grape, grapefruit, and pineapple. The restaurant is also in a great, leisurely neighborhood location.
What To Eat: Cap’n Crunch French Toast.
Cashion’s Eat Place
Where: Washington, D.C.
Why: It’s the best brunch in the district, with a great open air dining spot and a Southern or West Coast feel great for the sunny days in D.C.
What To Eat: Cornmeal Waffles, bottomless Bloodys and mimosas.
The Old Fashioned
Where: Madison, Wis.
Why: It has a rustic, homey feel, and it’s right next to the capital, so it’s in the center of the city. All the food is local and has some tie to Wisconsin, whether it be meat, cheese, or beer related. The menu features local breakfast dishes along with some crazy, old-fashioned recipes.
What To Eat: The Fritter Puff, Apple Jack Old Fashioned.
Beth’s Café
Where: Seattle, Wash.
Why: Open 24/7, seven days a week, you’ll get way more than your average daily dose of hipster, even for a Seattleite. Added plus: whether you’re hungover or still drunk, drawing masterpieces of shit (which adorn the walls until Jan. 1 every year) with the provided paper and crayons make for a great way to ignore your stupid friends while waiting for a dozen eggs to cook up.
What To Eat: 12-Egg Omelette (featured on “Man v. Food”) and O.J. that simply kills it (pun intended).
Schneithorst’s
Where: St. Louis, Mo.
Why: It has a homey atmosphere with a friendly staff and a great selection of German-inspired drinks, digs, and bites.
What To Eat: The German Utopia, eggs, bratwurst, potatoes, and mustard dipping sauce.
Beer Kitchen
Where: Kansas City, Mo.
Why: Nestled right in the heart of Westport, this means you may have to return to the scene of the crime from the night before. The restaurant’s modern take on classic pubfare is worth it, though. Not to mention, it has a gigantic beer selection and some killer cocktails.
What To Eat: Wake & Bacon Bloody Mary, bacon and apple pancakes.

All I’ve gotten between this and the “best bars” column is that the two NYC writers live in the UES and Astoria and they don’t branch out much.
So you mean to tell me I’m not allowed to have a favorite brunch place in my own neighborhood? Smart logic there, Captain.
If there’s life outside of Astoria, I don’t want to hear about it.
A little variety is all I’m asking for here. No disrespect to y’all’s favorite places but NYC is huge and could use a little more coverage. I’m trying to build a long list of places to fuel my post-grad alcoholic needs. Help a brotha out.
Also, I volunteer for this noble cause if you want to put together a search party…
I live just a couple blocks away from the comet and love it. They also have all you can eat bacon on Sunday nights.
Beer Kitchen’s pretty great, but my favorite in KC is Louie’s Wine Dive.
I mean, who doesn’t love bottomless mimosas and an omelette stuffed with bacon mac & cheese when you’re too hungover to take off your sunglasses and make direct eye contact with anyone because you’re positive they’ll see last night’s shame through your smudged mascara and bloodshot eyes?
hey lets go around the office and list our favorite places to eat. most of the people here are from texas? fuck lets still call it the nation and post it anyways.
What’s that? You don’t like my list that includes three Texas cities all of which are in the top 15 food concept metropolitan areas in the US? Or 2 of which are some of the top 25 restaurant cities in the world?
Yeah, sorry not sorry bro. I don’t even go into an office.
Go for the BLT at Comet. And the Bloody comes with bacon.
For best in NYC I nominate Tre in the LES. Great food, a nice patio, and bottomless mimosas, bellinis, or just straight champagne for $25. Also a great location for some post-brunch drunk shopping.
The Brixton in DC. Cant beat that toffee french toast and watery mimosas
Because everyone loves a good watery mimosa……
Watery should never be an adjective used in a positive light in front of an alcoholic beverage…
