What do sunday morning, brunch and champagne need to be more fantastic?

Us.

Okay, we always said that we should share our knowledge of how to do a brunch properly.  I will do so today as I wish we were sitting at our fav place on the river, with that awesome waitress who brought us champagne long after the brunch was closed. 

Do not actually eat brunch before noon.  It's not appropriate since you're likely not feeling good after Saturday night. 

Do not waste precious stomach space on salads or pastas, unless it's the most amazing looking thing ever. 

Best to start out with a couple glasses of champagne, coats the stomach nicely.  And for those waitresses who only bring champagne for as long as you are eating, you throw them off by drinking a couple of glasses first.

Then be sure and get a plate of crab legs, raw oysters, lobster, shrimp, whatever fresh seafood is being offered.  This doesn't add a lot of bulk to your stomach but it's freakin' delicious. 

Keep drinking champagne and stop for champagne breaks between "courses." 

Eventually go back for whatever hot foods are must haves....eggs benedict....belgian waffles....bacon.  In this case a little of those goes a long way. 

I generally love carving station meats but have to say, once it's sat under that little heat lamp (sunbeds for beef) for the whole morning, it's not looking so good.  Probably best to avoid. 

At this point, if you have this amazing waitress, you have had a bit of champagne and are pretty happy.  If you are still hungry, more plates of seafood.

While you were getting your plates of seafood, check out the dessert area and see if there is anything that will go with champagne - chocolate, strawberry tart, lemon cake.  Anything else, don't bother with.

Once seafood is safely in your stomach, with champagne chasers, ok to go for dessert.  Maybe an assortment of yummy things that are to be shared with your friend and probably mostly left behind.

It's possible that you have stayed so long that the waitress has gone home, hopefully having left the remains of whatever bottles were to be thrown out.  If she hasn't, then move to the bar and order more champagne!

Because if it's between food or champagne, well, man can't live on bread alone.

I leave the proper way to eat seafood buffet at a national monument to my fellow blogger.
