Bottomless Brunch Advice and Etiquette
Here is some advice on tackling bottomless brunch the right way.
Make a Reservation & Get There On Time
First and foremost, make a reservation. Bottomless brunch is popping this summer, so you’ll want to make sure you have a table instead of fighting a hungry crowd at the door. Most importantly, get to your reservation on time! The last thing you want is to lose your table. Being prompt to brunch will also help avoid the feared angry hostess.
Don’t Make Plans for Afterward
While you may want to make plans afterward to hang out with your brunch buddies or take a late afternoon day trip, don’t do it. After having all you can eat and drink during brunch, all you’ll want to do is lay low and veg out on your couch.
Choose Your Meal Wisely
When picking your alcoholic poison, also consider your main dish. Choose a meal that is going to pair well with whatever you’re drinking. Bottomless brunch is all about indulging and treating yourself, so don’t worry over selecting the healthiest choice on the menu.
Keep Time in Mind
Remember that lots of bottomless brunch sessions are timed! Keep in mind how much time you have and pace your brunch accordingly.
