BEST BRUNCH
1.
ROSEWOOD FOODS
In 1895, the English author Guy Beringer — tired of slogging through the “purgatory of those Sabbatarian early” Sunday dinners and wanting to “prolong” his Saturday nights — coined the phrase “brunch,” which he deemed to take place on Sundays “between 12 and half-past.” It took a while to catch on across the pond, but today we sit happily in his delicious debt at Rosewood Foods, which may have perfected his priceless portmanteau.
We arrive just after 11 a.m. — a bit early for Beringer’s tastes, but a good call
on our part, since it’s nearly packed. It’s a walk-up-and-order place, and my eyes struggle to look away from the Lox & Egg Sandwich (with pastrami-spice cured salmon and caramelized onion), or even the more basic Breakfast Sandwich. But when a brunch place has a Breakfast Bowl, you get the freakin’ Breakfast Bowl (with scrambled eggs, crispy potatoes, charred tomato salsa and chicken sausage) ...and some Lemony Butter Pancakes on the side. We chat and laugh like we have our whole lives — or at least the rest of the day — ahead of us, ready for a lazy, stuffed- full Sunday afternoon. It’s what Beringer would have wanted! —C.S.
