WE DiG: BRUNCH

By

Everybody combines meals at one time or another. Admit it, you’ve given in to Linner, Dupper, Linch, Dunch or Lupper at some point or another. But we all know the best TRUE meal combination is BRUNCH! (You know, the breakfast/lunch combo that Sundays are famous for?)

Invented by Englishman Guy Beringer in the 1890s, brunch was a stomach-easing, alcohol drinking, social-making combined meal so that nobody with a hangover had to get up too early. Genius. Too close to breakfast? You called it “brunch.” Too close to lunch? You called it “blunch.” Brunch became popular in the United States in the 1930s and Americans realized that it didn’t matter what it was called so long as there was a Bloody Mary or Mimosa included. So when you’re partaking in this famous combo, do us a favor will you? Raise a toast to Guy Beringer, the Hangover Healer!
