Brunch in a jar, say what? Yes, you heard right. G’s Midtown is featuring a new brunch menu with items like the 10P Bloody Mary Brunch in a Jar. This home-made beverage brims with house-infused pepper vodka, house-made bloody mary mix, pickled okra, stuffed olives, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, celery and a skewer of chicken and waffles. If you’re into the bubbly, “All You Care to Drink” mimosas and Bellinis at $16.95 each with food purchase will be to your liking.

The new brunch menu from G’s also includes delicious dishes that will satisfy every kind of appetite. Sink your teeth into a Farmhouse croissant with savory country ham steak, fried egg and smoked cheddar. “The King” challah French toast puts a sweet spin on the meal. Stuffed with peanut butter and bananas, this is a course to go crazy for. If you just can’t bring yourself to only choose one item from the menu, we won’t judge you. “Build Your Own Brunch” by choosing two, three or even four side items such as two eggs any style, applewood smoked bacon, turkey sausage, buttermilk biscuits, stone-ground grits or vodka tomato gravy. Stop in from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday to cram in these cravings. 

Bellinis and Brunch at Vita

Nope, I'm happy to say I'll be sacrificing a late morning in bed to test out Vita's new brunch menu. The casual, New York-style Italian eatery is kicking off their Bellini Brunch this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

With choices of French toast, omelets and frittatas (all $12 - definitely one of the most affordable brunches in the city) I'm not sure I'll be able to make up my mind what to try on my first visit. Currently, I'm leaning towards the chicken frittata with pulled chicken, pancetta and mozzarella cheese, but get a few Bellinis in me and who knows what I'll pick...

Speaking of Bellinis, have you ever tried to make a Bellini at home? For those who haven't, it is terribly easy (and delicious). Simply peel and puree a fresh, very ripe then pour into a and top with

As a side note, I recently tried a shockingly good sparkling wine made in New Mexico that I found at Whole Foods. Turns out apparently New Mexico's climate is ideal for sparkling wine production. Who knew?!
