\"Buttermilk<\/a><\/p>\n

Brunch – that delicious blend of breakfast and lunch – has fuzzy origins. Some food historians believe that the meal is rooted in\u00a019th century Britain<\/a> when hunting groups would have extravagant mid-morning meals. But, my favorite historical mention comes from an 1895 “Hunter\u2019s Weekly”\u00a0article<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Brunch is cheerful, sociable and inciting.” Guy Beringer wrote in “Brunch: A Plea.” “It is talk-compelling. It puts you in a good temper, it makes you satisfied with yourself and your fellow beings, it sweeps away the worries and cobwebs of the week.”<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a soothing rhythm to this ambrosial weekend tradition: Champagne, fortified with fresh citrus, is poured into tall glasses; sugary breads are passed among good company, feeling downright communal; concerns drift away with the arrival of savory diversions; and finally, we\u2019re ready to nap.<\/p>\n

Here at Macrina, we adore the bustle of brunch. The great din of diners bonding over our food and lingering at the case for just one more pastry<\/a>\u00a0or a rustic loaf of bread<\/a> to go with dinner. For us, it\u2019s satisfying seeing everyone walk away completely contented.<\/p>\n

With Memorial Day drawing near, we already hear the brunch buzz as everyone organizes his or her weekend morning gaggle. Our weekend diners get to enjoy not one or two but three days of brunching as we extend our brunch menu to Monday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So, linger longer this weekend, brunch lovers, and reenact your leisurely meal an extra day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
