Clearly we love brunch here at Brunchlust and we give it it's utmost attention. I imagine people think that there's a lot of preparation that goes into our reviews. Yes, we do our research. Yes, we have an idea of the kind of food or environment that we want to experience. So if you think we do a lot of prep work for this brunch life, then you would be correct. But something has to be said for those days that you just decide you're gonna go brunch on a whim. This is what brou

Who else has read The Great Gatsby? I did, in high school. I loved the story, not so much because of the plot, but because of the picture that was painted. The decadent parties, the feeling that every time that Jay Gatsby threw a party, it would be sparkling and magical. I became a fan of that Gatsby-esque decor as well. Art Deco. Straight lines, bold patterns, touches of gold and sparkle. And as soon as I walked into Grayson Social, I knew I would love it on the strength of

I love traveling to new places. Especially if I can travel to an international destination. My very low goal is to leave the U.S. at least once a year but I personally let flight deals and sales guide me. This year I got the opportunity to travel to a place I've never been to before -- Bangkok, Thailand. A land filled with lush mountains, pristine beaches, and culinary greatness, Bangkok lived up to my expectations and then some. The people were friendly, the service was fant

If you can't tell, I love wine. Years ago I was the lucky winner of a trip to Napa Valley and it was there where I discovered my love for all things vino. Often I will walk into my local grocery store and pick up a few bottles that I've never had before, just to see how I like them. So when I happened upon a wine bar that offered brunch, I called my crew and IMMEDIATELY made it happen. Crú Wine Bar has a few locations throughout the metroplex, including a spot inside Dallas L

Brunchlust decided to visit a newcomer to the Dallas scene for this week's review. Only open for about two weeks, Feed Company Eatery and Bourbon Lounge did not disappoint. Feed Company has been highly anticipated on the Dallas food and drink scene. So much so, unfortunately, that thieves decided to break in and steal lots of their rare bourbons a couple of days before their anticipated opening. Not to be discouraged, the awesome owners/management of this place decided to pre

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

This week’s Brunchlust review takes us to the largest city in Texas…HOUSTON! There are plenty of places to do brunch in the city but Hungry’s stood out due to its two area locations and Saturday and Sunday brunch options. We headed over to the Rice Village location on a Saturday and were greeted with a lively, packed house. Hungry’s Rice Village is a relatively new addition to the Houston brunch scene. It has been renovated and revamped into a vibrant, modern looking space. P

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

Music and brunch. I'm such a huge fan of this pairing that it's ridiculous. I mean, bubbles, good food, and jams--how could you not love it? So when I heard that the Harwood District in Dallas was having a DJ brunch series, I jumped all over it. The series kicked off in March. On Saturdays, participating restaurants host a resident DJ during their brunch hours. Every Saturday is at a different location in the Harwood District and each spot offers their own flavor.

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
