Fun Fact: My zodiac sign is Cancer. That means that I'm somewhat emotional, will fight for my friends, and sometimes goes into my shell. So I have a soft spot for things that give me comfort. Soft, warm blankets. Freshly laundered bedsheets. Hugs from my favorite people. And places that make me feel like I'm home. So it makes me extra excited when I discover something that makes me feel at ease. And bonus points when I can find that in a brunch location. So in comes one of my

Washington D.C. Probably one of the first places that come to mind when I think of places that go hard on brunch, like we do in Dallas. But I have to give it to them--D.C. offers a much wider selection that I've experienced in the Big D. So I was totally excited to take time to explore this great city and try a variety of spots. Along the next few weeks, I'll share all of the places that I got to explore. But for now, it's start with one of the newest spots to hit the nation

Have you guys ever been to Canada? I have. It's pretty dope. Yup, it's as cold (temperature wise) as you think it would be. And the people are as friendly as you've heard. And the food is pretty tasty. So it's basically an awesome place to visit. If you are in Dallas, you are in luck. We have a place that gives you just a bit of that Canada feeling right in the Lone Star State. Maple Leaf Diner brings a bit of that Canadian feeling to north Dallas. Their specialty? All day br

I love colors. Especially bright, warmer colors. They make me happy. So when I walked into Halcyon (pronounced HAL-see-on), I instantly fell in love. It's so bright and colorful and open. Simple pops of vibrant color on white. I mean, the fact that I was about to drink sparkling cocktails and eat food already had me happy but the decor and feel of Halcyon just put the icing on the cake. So let's jump right into the review. First up: mimosas! They offer your standard OJ mimosa

Farm fresh. Organic. Gluten free. These words can often strike fear into the hearts of people, while others cheer. One set of people think that food lacking nitrates and sweeteners and artificial whatever will end up tasting like cardboard. Others embrace things that taste like they just literally pulled them from the earth. Wherever you fall on this spectrum, just know that Mudhen Meat and Greens is the winner for all in this fight. Mudhen boasts themselves as "a destination

I love hitting the road and discovering new places along the way. I've only had the pleasure of rolling through St Louis, Missouri twice but I've enjoyed it incredibly. It very much reminds me of my childhood on the east coast. For this particular trip through the Lou, I decided to explore what the brunch flow was like. The Shack is relatively unassuming on the outside. It's in a shopping mall center and, aside from the funky establishment sign, it looks like it would be a st

Lower Greenville is one of the most ecclectic spots in Dallas. You can find restaurants of all types, clothing options from new to vintage, music venues, wine bars...the list goes on. In my many years of riding up and down Greenville, I've driven past the Granada Theater a great number of times. But today I chose to stop and check out their neighboring beer garden, Sundown At Granada. Sundown At Granada "provides a beer selection of over 60+ beers, largest patio on Lower Gree

Another morning, another day to enjoy brunch. Hello Lusters! Let's hit the road and travel to Austin for this review. I enjoy Austin. A lot. It's a different vibe than other cities that I've come across in Texas. They truly embrace their unofficial slogan of "Keep It Weird." Seen as the artistic hub in Texas, there's lots of street art, music acts, interesting architecture...just a mixture of creative things to see and do. The food scene is no different--there's a number of c

For this week, Brunchlust is taking you to the Mile High City--Denver, Colorado. Being more than 5000 miles above sea level kind of sets up the city of Denver to "elevate" their experiences. From outdoor activities to "medicinal" activities, Denver is a fun place to explore and to experience everything in a new light. So when we decided to do the bottomless brunch at Zengo, we expected not your average Asian cuisine and brunch experience. And we were correct--for both the goo

We traveled out of Dallas again in search for some brunch greatness. Landing in the Mile High City of Denver, we were greeted with cool temps, high altitude, and some pretty fantastic brunch options. One of the spots we visited is the aptly named Denver Biscuit Company. Located inside of Atomic Cowboy, a warehouse-esque bar, Denver Biscuit Co. is filled with barstools and tables, lined with booths, and features a plethora of lighting fixtures hanging from the ceiling. It's un
