Charlotte: Places For A Great Brunch

Not everyone eats first thing in the morning, and for those people who like to eat (and wake up) a little later, they have a little thing called brunch. Brunch, of course, is combined with breakfast and lunch, and it is an amazing concept.

The origins of brunch can be traced back to 19th-century England, where it began as a large, multi-course meal for hunting parties. The term "brunch" was coined by British writer Guy Beringer in an 1895 article in Hunter's Weekly. Beringer argued that instead of the heavy meals that were typical after church in England at the time, a lighter meal should be served in the late morning. He described brunch as "cheerful, sociable, and inciting."

Brunch became popular in the United States in the 1930s. It became a convenient way for people to socialize on Sundays without having to adhere to traditional meal times. Brunch has since become a staple of American weekends and a symbol of indulgence and relaxation.
