"I am a firm believer that the best hours of the week fall on Saturdays and Sundays between the hours of 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. There are so many amazing life moments that happen during these hours on these days: sleeping in way too late, going on a long walk with a friend, hitting a morning workout class, reading a great book with a cup of coffee. But most importantly, it’s the prime time for our all-time favorite meal: brunch. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just romanticizing your weekend mornings, brunch is the perfect excuse to gather with friends and family, sip a delicious glass of wine, and eat some of the best dishes on the face of the earth.
