There’s something we need to talk about this weekend, and that’s BRUNCH. It’s that essential weekend meal that brings people of all different hangovers together and makes us human again (or so we hope). In this week’s issue, we found 80 perfect brunches for you to consider, regardless of if you want a brunch that’s affordable, fancy, divey, family-friendly, plant-based, outside the box, old school, or entertaining. So please: EAT. IT. UP.

But first, let’s take a moment away from all that reading and instead drool over these amazing brunch photos in our issue by local photographer Aaron Lee.
