breakfast selections like migas, breakfast tacos and burritos, chilaquiles, huevos rancheros and a break- fast sandwich with eggs, bacon and cheese. Opens at 6 a.m. for the early birds (and 7 a.m. on Sundays). Check out their daily trompo specials! Cowtown Dogs is a little off the beaten path for the brunch crowd, but these are next-level hot dogs so it’s worth the diversion. Order up a 100 percent beef, perfectly-seasoned hotdog on a signature Euro Classic Brioche bun and you’ll forget all about French toast. Try the chili cheese dog with Raye’s stone ground yellow mustard, Sloppy Eddie chili and shredded cheddar cheese—or go big with the Orig- inal Texas Style Hot Dog: Reye’s mustard, marinated and grilled jalapenos, and Sloppy Eddie chili with a choice of Dublin sweet onions or a hot and spicy pepper mix. The Boardwalk at Granite Park has a couple of great brunch options: Suburban Yacht Club has a range of brunch bites, from their Epic Breakfast Burri- to to a hot honey chicken sandwich. Drinks include a to-die-for watermelon frose, and the creamy Orange Julius. Blue Mesa is a brunch legend in these parts: it’s an all-you-can-eat buffet of breakfast staples, like omelets and migas, plus a carving and taco station, and mimosas that don’t quit. It’s $26 per person from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sundays. And finally, Biscuit Bar offers all-day brunch on weekends, with $5 mimosas and $6 bloody marys and their usual selection of outstanding biscuits. Another Dallas destination with plenty of breakfast/ lunch options? The Village Dallas has multiple eat- eries that will satisfy your brunch needs. Doughre- gards offers up freshly baked croissants, breakfast pastries and kolaches, while Anise offers up beautiful brunch plates, like a chocolate babka French toast and smoked salmon on potato latke. Or check out Buzz and Bustle for craft coffees and light bites, in- cluding delicious breakfast tacos, fresh scones and mouth-watering gallettes. 360 Brunch House on East Mockingbird Lane spe- cializes in elevated breakfast bowls and twists on your usual favorites. Like eggs benedict? You’re gon- na love their lobster avocado benedict. Try a flaming whiskey apple pancake (if you’re over 21, that is), or the rich turtle cheesecake pancakes. The choices for brunch beverages are many: we counted somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 options, including tradi- tional mimosas and unique blends, like the frothy Earl Gray blended “Lord’s Brew”. Bishop Arts’ standout brunch purveyor, Paradiso, is a lush and elegant setting perfect for a bridal brunch, special occasion, or just a long-overdue gathering. Brunch is offered Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and the menu is heavy on fresh, seasonally-available in- gredients. Seasonal frittatas, porchetta and sweet potato hash, and a breakfast pizza are just a few of the best options to kick off your day; batch cocktails will keep your whole table buzzing. Another Bishop Arts eatery with an ex- ceptional brunch menu is the Asian/ Cajun fusion spot, Krio. Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m., dive into blackened cheddar grits or the unique breakfast bahn mi, which is stuffed with fried eggs, glazed bacon, a Sriracha aioli, pickled carrots and cilantro. Wash it down with a lychee sangria or a spiked Viet cafe. 311 Kitchen and Cocktails in Dallas’ West End is another formidable brunch op- tion worth your attention: their weekend brunch, from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m., includes omelets, chicken and waffles, and a seri- ously hearty steak and eggs option.
