If I were to open "a place" like an actual restaurant, I would go for the Bruncheonette, and call it just that, "The Bruncheonette". It would offer the simplest and most classic (with a bit of Simply Hailee flair) of all that is breakfast + lunch. Open daily from 11am-3pm...a cook's dream!

Where does this thought come from? Well as a chef (alongside many other professions) most often than not you are working weekends which is the typical time to brunch. Plus I don't know anyone who doesn't love brunch!

This past Sunday I prepared a simple brunch for a family reunion. As I watched the family graciously devour the buffet (thank goodness because I hate leftovers, and this family ate their way through the entire weekend...it was awesome) I sat with a bit of weekend envy. I wouldn't mind a little bagels & lox w/ a mimosa (sans OJ).

Hmmmm, now I'm thinking...I should revamp my brunch menu. Be on the lookout for "The Bruncheonette" on the Simply Hailee site.
