This place (state of WA) doesn’t do brunch like I am used to. Like, they do breakfast & they think it’s the same thing.

No, no, honey children. Breakfast = bacon + eggs + coffee. Brunch = an elegant hash + mimosas. There is a clear difference & I feel responsible for educating the masses.

We’ve been searching & searching for real brunch near us. Like, I want to wear a cutie sundress & straighten my hair for once, please. I would normally require a patio but unless I want to wear a parka it wouldn’t be that enjoyable. After a rigorous google search, we were sold on one with a very specific selling point: bottomless mimosas.

Of course I was inspired & now have yet another food truck idea. Brunch + mimosas. I come to you in my hot pink food truck with glitter guns on either side & I serve you all of my favorite brunch items (v little egg on the menu, sorry friends it’s heinous). Mimosas out the wazoo. Maybe a mimo bar that I fold out of my truck & you can pick your own juice to add to the bubbles.

^ Consider this patented, too.

    I can’t believe I’ve still never had chicken and waffles in my life! I know I’d love it since I am a huge fan of the mcgriddle! It looks so good! If I hadn’t literally just eaten half a block of cheese right before I read this I would definitely be in the kitched trying to make some version of this. Right now I have turkey legs and the ingredients to make pancakes… think that would be a hit?

      Hahahaha you have so much to still experience! But the classic block of cheese for dinner is still a staple in my home.

      I ALMOST made chicken + pancakes, but I caved & got a waffle maker… Yes it would totes work! Turkey legs would be a nice lil spin.

      Can’t have chicken + waffles with a mimosa so make sure you have all the ingredients you need! 😉 & I’ve heard rave reviews about that movie. Thanks for the reminder – I’ve gotta see it!
