There’s nothing better than finishing the weekend with good food and friends (the two f’s). I love the fun and ambiance of brunch. It’s just so care free. But before I go, I always run through my checklist to make sure I’m ready to go.
1. Remember my flask- It’s the only day of the week that morning drinking is acceptable. For once I can tell people- “Oh I never do this, but I guess since it’s brunch I’ll have a little…” And honestly I always find the whole champagne and orange juice thing a little weak. So I always bring a little Jack Daniels to kick it up a notch.
2. Bring a mini boombox- I don’t care how “fancy” a place is. If they don’t understand that eggs benedict goes better with Montell Jordan, then they’re not getting my business.
3. Chipotle Tabasco hot sauce- Don’t give me that regular Tabasco filth. I have standards. I make sure my girlfriend always carries a spare chipotle bottle in her purse at all times. It can make any awful dish delicious in seconds. Oh and don’t bother buying one. Just go to your nearest Chipotle burrito food chain, and steal one like the rest of us. They’re just sitting out on the tables! It’s like they want you to steal them.
4. Cuttoff shorts- I love eating outside, unless it’s raining (then why aren’t you drinking at home silly?). There’s no better way to enjoy beautiful weather then being able to feel every single breeze on your nether region.
5. A good attitude- Nothing ruins my appetite like negativity. Brunch is not the time to talk about your job, your life goals, or how proud you are of what your child did. I don’t care. I’m here to party.
Love your fancy shorts, Andrew!
Fancy is always my go to.
I’d “like” this post even if I had skipped those 3 Chipotle Tabasco spiked Bloody Mary’s. In other news, I finally washed the last of the Sharpie off my face – that was a long month!
Chipotle Tabasco spiked Bloody Mary’s? Is that like the Traveling Wilbury’s of cocktails?
Sort of, only trendier
You neglected to mention bringing the New York Times Sunday crossword to brunch. If the conversation lags, you can whip out the puzzle and badger everyone for input.
I’m afraid “crossword puzzle” isn’t a video game I’ve heard of.
It’s kind of like Tetris with letters and stuff
Technically, there’s 3 F’s.
You’re right. I forgot fun. Oh you!
Fun…right. That’s what I meant.
ANYTHING on the restaurant table is up for the grabbing–but especially the chipotle Tabasco.
And Worcestershire sauce!
Don’t forget the silverware.
Ha!!!! Thank you for reminding me that Montell Jordan song exists.
Don’t worry. It was always there waiting there for you.
In reference to the cutoff jeans photo… WHYYYYYY???!!!!! My eyes are burning.
Oh c’mon, everybody needs a little eye exercise.
Just this morning, over brunch, I said to a friend “I didn’t like breakfast until I started drinking and it became the morning-after routine” Nothing beats ordering a double bloody mary at 11am and sitting indoors with sunglasses on…
Yeah, pretty much the only appropriate time to wear sunglasses indoors. Well that laser tag. But that’s absolutely the only other time.
A-Fucking-Men. I adore brunch. Or blunch as us rebels prefer. I was a little late for blunch this past Sunday, but I made sure to have a Belgian beer with my bloody burger (no bread, just topped with a slice of melted cheese and a fried egg) and fries when I finally got around to eating at 3 pm. And now to go off and listen to some Montell. (I do like a little Blackstreet, No Diggity, myself).
1) I love fried eggs on anything 2) Bread IS stupid. Except for the band. 3) I’m going to start calling brunch “blunch”.
oh. the shorts. I will need more vodka.
Yeah, but is it really a bad thing if it gives you a reason to drink? (I’m high fiving you again)
I like to have Sunday Linner, in between Lunch and Dinner, or sometimes Blinner…which is one meal around two in the afternoon, but it’s a big one.
Brunch is my favorite meal because of the day booze.
Now I’m hungry for Chipotle. Thanks.
