A brunch is more than a breakfast, said Nina Fedrizzi in TravelandLeisure.com. It should be a “drawn-out, indulgent” meal shared with good company. Though certain chefs may disdain the meal—Anthony Bourdain has called it a “dumping ground” for restaurant leftovers—brunch haters today seem to be merely a vocal minority. For proof, note the long lines at many top places. A relaxing atmosphere is essential, but the best spots recharge us “first and foremost through their food.”
Ted’s Bulletin Washington, D.C. At Ted’s, the decor is warmly nostalgic and breakfast is available all day, including the menu’s standout—beer biscuits and sausage gravy, served with eggs and hash browns. Chill afterward with one of Ted’s “boozy adult milk shakes.” 505 8th St. SE, (202) 544-8337
