Brunch annoys me. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like the word or the concept. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s completely unnecessary. Breakfast is just fine on its own. Lunch is a perfectly acceptable meal as well. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no need to combine them and call it something else. If you enjoy breakfast food during the normal lunch time, fine. Go somewhere that serves breakfast around the clock. (Mmm\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Denny\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s.)<\/p>\n
Restaurants typically serve brunch as a way to jack up prices on weekends. Anyone visiting a favorite Las Vegas buffet on Saturday or Sunday has likely been smacked with weekend brunch pricing $5 to $20 more than what they would pay during the week. Sure they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll throw in mimosas or bloody marys, but unless you were planning on getting shit-hammered with your meal anyway, that alone doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t make brunch much more appealing than breakfast.<\/p>\n
So when we arrived for breakfast at Cosmopolitan\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Wicked Spoon buffet (complete review coming soon on the podcast), I wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t thrilled to learn they had replaced breakfast and lunch with brunch seven days a week. Because Cosmo is new, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not surprising that they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re making adjustments, but the price bumps are Caesars-like.<\/p>\n
