Yawwwwwn! Just waking out of my holiday hibernation, y’all. So glad to be back! I’ll admit I’ve slacked these past couple weeks, but now that party season is ramping up again — helloooo, Super Bowl!! — I have so many events to share with you! Let’s get started, shall we?
A while ago, I checked out the brunch service at The Place at Perry’s in Uptown with Curl Girl. I needed a change of pace from the many super-casual bar brunches I’ve partaken of in Dallas — not that there’s anything wrong with those; I LOVE the Meridian Room’s wif all my heart — so I was happy to go upscale this once. Place at Perry’s was my favorite Restaurant Week destination last year, so I knew it wouldn’t disappoint …
But just to make sure, I started with the very wedge salad I so-super-loved at RW. Mmmmm, crisp wedge of iceberg topped with blue cheese crumbles, bacon chunks, tomatoes and a luscious champagne dressing — it’s just one of the best I’ve had. Definitely woke up my tummy and taste buds.
The variety of benedicts at Place at Perry’s is insane, so Curl Girl and I went with a couple. She had the California benedict with roasted turkey and avocado pico on an English muffin (above), and I went with the crab cake benedict (top) with poached eggs over thick, meaty crab cakes, all of it topped with chipotle hollandaise. Yurm. Both dishes came with a side of delicious purple potatoes.
Curl Girl and I decided that we wanted to explore the menu outside of the savory stuff, so we ordered a fruit-topped Belgian waffle to share (above). Definitely satisfied the sweets craving … as did our potent Morning Sun cocktails — OJ, Prosecco and Aperol. I can’t wait to have a decadent, splurge-y brunch at The Place at Perry’s again.
