Brunch is such an interesting concept. This in-between phase of breakfast and lunch first became popular in the United States around the 1930s. Today, you can find many restaurants that will serve brunch in addition to breakfast, lunch, and dinner. What’s interesting, though, is that even though brunch is a combination of “breakfast” and “lunch,” it seems that most brunch foods are very similar to breakfast foods.

So, what exactly is the difference? Most people agree that the biggest difference is really just the time of day. Brunch normally starts around ten in the morning, but it can even extend to two in the afternoon for a brunch restaurant. And typically, a restaurant is where you would find the best variety of brunch food items. At a brunch restaurant, you would find the usual breakfast items, such as pancakes, eggs, toast, bacon, or yogurt. You would also find these food items paired with some traditional lunch items, like sandwiches, salads, stews or wraps. Putting these foods together results in chicken and waffles, smoked salmon and toast with eggs, shrimp and grits, eggs Benedict, or steak and eggs.Citrus The Diner offers a wide variety of these breakfast and lunch combinations from open to close, many in unexpected and delicious ways.

A lot of people also take the opportunity to socialize at a brunch restaurant. The later meal time lets people relax, have fun, and eat a delicious meal while enjoying a slower day. Brunch allows you to indulge in a wider variety of whatever food you’re feeling in the mood for. A delicious meal paired with premium Mimosas and other “adult” beverages makes Citrus The Diner the perfect location to relax and enjoy the company of friends and family. It’s an interesting phenomenon, and one that many people love.
