It’s the decision that makes or breaks your brunch experience—and maybe even sets the tone for the rest of the day. Should you opt for something drizzled in syrup, whipped cream and fresh berries? Or maybe something heartier with salty meats and buttery biscuits all topped with hollandaise?
Nutritionists say the choice is often made the night before. A carb-heavy dinner like pasta or pizza might lead to sweet cravings in the morning, while a night out with plenty of cocktails and little hydration might have you hankering for the sodium of an omelet with a side of bacon.
We say there’s no right or wrong answer. And thankfully, the indulgent nature of brunch at places like The Ruby Slipper Cafe means it’s OK to order the stuffed French toast with a link of sausage or that corned beef “bennie“ with a maple syrup-drenched pancake.
