In the United States and new york, you will get used to and fall in love with things like brunch. I bet brunch is more than just a meal-
It is a concept of time, a state of life, and it creates a paradise for modern people who are high-speed all day.
Whether you have heard of the word "brunch" or not, it is very likely that you are practicing this lifestyle. On weekends and holidays, I don't have to get up early, but sleep lazily and wake up naturally. Breakfast time has passed, and lunch seems a little early. Never mind, let's have breakfast and lunch together.
Is it very similar to your usual state? Well, this is Brunch's most concise comment.
Yes, brunch. It originally meant the meal on the weekend morning.
Sociologist FarhaTernikar pointed out in his book The History of Brunch: The difference between breakfast and brunch is that the former is the beginning of a working day, while the latter is a weekend celebration.
Brunch is a combination of breakfast and lunch, which is between breakfast and lunch and originated in Britain. Ladies and servants have carefully prepared a hearty breakfast for men who go hunting in the morning, but this breakfast will wait until the morning when the hunters triumph. So gradually, in the late 1990s of 19, this kind of delayed sumptuous breakfast became an ethos of the aristocratic class.
There is also a saying that the word brunch did not appear at the end of 19. Some people call this meal between breakfast and lunch "varsity meal" to show its relationship with aristocratic (hangover) college students.
-It's the same now. Of course, brunch is not just for nobles.
The trend of brunch soon spread to the United States and became popular in the United States almost overnight. I always think this is because Americans are lazy, and Americans are really lazy. Just like where I used to go to school, in the rural areas of the United States, you can hardly find a place to work after five o'clock in the afternoon, except restaurants and bars; If it is a weekend, no one will be seen before ten o'clock in the morning, because no one will get up.
When I say lazy, I actually mean that they know how to enjoy life. They lead an easy life. They live in the present. They may not understand why people in some countries always die suddenly.
So you see, brunch is for such people.
Therefore, this trend makes brunch fast food restaurants spread all over the United States. They serve brunch (almost) all day. Eggs, muffins, pancakes, bacon, ham, sausages, potatoes and so on are almost standard on the breakfast menu. Of course, there are side dishes, Caesar salad, side dishes, buttered toast, freshly squeezed orange juice and unlimited refills of American coffee.
New york, the gathering place of world food, is the most democratic food village, and there are characteristic brunch shops in almost every corner. As a result, hipsters in new york know how to enjoy this life-after a busy week's work, they have a good time on Friday night, have a comfortable sleep on Saturday morning, and then go to the bar to have a "champagne brunch party" and enjoy a delicious brunch.
Guy Behringer, an English writer, said in his book Brunch: Begging:
Remember when I mentioned Sarabeth's from Gossip Girl in the online sharing class during my trip to new york? It is common to meet stars here. It is said that Eddie Peng Yuyan Yuyan went to several brunch food stores after arriving in new york.
Remember the place where Kelly and three girlfriends got together to talk about men and life in Sex and the City?
Not in the temperament cafe, not in the elegant western restaurant, not in the modern bar, but in the brunch shop.
Because this is the daily life in new york.
So, when I said, "Let's go to brunch!" N also got the message.
When you are not in new york, how can you say that you are a real new york person if you enjoy brunch on weekends?
The one we went to, on Madison Avenue, was a small and exquisite brunch shop, focusing on coffee and healthy eating. Needless to say, this small shop is full of people, waiting for meals and ordering food.
Smash is the most famous one in this shop. It is a thick slice of toast made of mixed butter jam and Greek milk, and then sprinkled with condiments such as pumpkin seeds and pepper slices.
Of course, the last thing to miss is his coffee. Thick blue cup, beautiful and warm.
One of the great benefits of eating at his house is that you can see the whole process of making coffee for you by a handsome barista, who is behind the bar and across the table from you.
I suddenly found that this store is very suitable for girls and girlfriends to go to hahaha, but in fact there are at least hundreds of famous brunch shops in new york with various tastes and recipes. Everyone can find their own brunch shop here, but maybe today you went to this "Wow, that's it!" " The next time I go to another house, I immediately forget my old love and shout, "You are my brunch for life!" "
Brunch is never just a meal. It's different from dinner. It pays more attention to environment and communication. In a relaxed and lively atmosphere, it talks with family, friends or itself. Not in a hurry.
Brunch, it represents a comfortable state of life, a complacent state of mind.
It may be a paradise for modern people.
