My Favorite....BRUNCH

Sometimes the perfect ending to a weekend is a lazy Sunday spent with family and friends at home. Usually this type of Sunday begins with a delicious breakfast. However, if you want to leave the cooking and cleaning to professionals you have to try my favorite Fort Worth brunch place: Lambert’s. If you don’t mind getting dressed up just a bit (jeans are just fine), head on over, valet your car, and prepare to have the best breakfast of your life.

LAMBERT'S

I know a steak and seafood restaurant may not seem like the obvious place for a great Sunday brunch, but it is in fact the restaurant that inspired me to write this blog. I dined (more, ate the entire menu) earlier today and I am a very happy girl. When trying to choose my favorite thing on the menu, I absolutely couldn’t…even if I had a gun to my head. Chef Lou Lambert seems to understand this hard decision, and therefore doesn’t make you choose. You can order anything on the menu as many times as you want and have endless trips to the buffet all for $25. The experience is magical. Upon entering the Texas themed restaurant, you are welcomed by the staff and a cozy fire in the corner as you wait for your table. I recommend making a reservation for a large group, however if it’s just two of you, sit at the bar.

Waiters and waitresses in jeans and black tops are happy to help explain the process of how the Lambert’s brunch should be experienced. Give your drink orders to your server, and be whisked away to the buffet (or first course). Lambert’s offers bottomless mimosas for an additional $5 or fantastic Bloody Mary’s, charged per drink. The buffet begins with fresh fruit, a house garden salad, and fresh smoked salmon, very thin bagel chips, cream cheese, salmon, capers, and purple onion. The Tex-Mex migas are divine with a fresh cilantro salsa. Griddled breakfast red potatoes with onions and peppers are next on the plate, followed by the meats: crispy smoked thick bacon, country breakfast sausage patties, and a staffed carving station with salt crusted smoked prime rib with horseradish cream and maple glazed pork loin ham with Jezebel sauce. When you return to your table with what would have been a sufficient amount of food, your server will bring you menus, for items made to order.

This is where the fun really begins. Your options are the spicy green chili cheddar grits (and yes, they are green!), eggs ordered any style, classic eggs Benedict, salmon Benedict with dill Hollandaise, prime rib Benedict with chipotle Hollandaise (also referred to as the John Wayne eggs Benedict), four mini buttermilk biscuits covered in a sausage cream gravy, spinach mushroom omelet with goat cheese and herbs, and (the best!) brioche French toast with whipped cream, strawberries, and maple syrup. ODER EVERYTHING! Especially if you are with a large group, order everything, maybe double or triple. Pass each item around and taste. But be sure to save at least one extra bite at the end of the meal as the chocolate icebox pie is TO DIE FOR. Other desert options include a thick slice of red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting or the coconut cream pie.

You shouldn’t need any more convincing. Just reading the menu should be enough motivation to check it out. Your homework is to go next Sunday, and comment below. See if you can choose your favorite, as that will be your final exam.
