Dec 3 Grille on Main

Our favorite brunch spot was Grille 29. We loved going there, and it was our go to spot for out of town guests. Unfortunately they did not survive COVID. I am not entirely sure COVID was the true cause of their closure. Rumor is they had issues with their landlord. But the closure happened during the pandemic, so it is hard to really know for sure why. But it was replaced with a restaurant named Grille on Main. While similar in name, it is a different owner and different foods. They do offer a brunch they we visited a while back. Check it out below.

Jun 13 Brickhouse Brunch

Brittany Payne

Randomness

For Mother's Day this year, we went to Brickhouse for brunch. It has recently became one of our new favorite local restaurants. The food is good; the prices are reasonable; and our regular waiter Tyler is great. Brunch is a fairly new offering, but it did not disappoint.

May 22 Grille 29 Brunch

Brittany Payne

Randomness

So our all time favorite brunch spot is Grille 29. I have been eating lunch and dinner here since I moved to Huntsville back in 2009. A few years later we found out that they had brunch on Sundays. Back them they served brunch only on Sunday starting at 10 am. More recently, they have expanded their brunch to Saturdays too. One perk is that they serve $0.29 mimosas from 10 until 11. So that is the prime time really. We tend to go whenever we have family in town over the weekend or for special occasions. Check out my review of our most recent experience below!

Apr 9 Melody's Baptism

Brittany Payne

Parties, Kids

Melody was baptized at our local church, Asbury United Methodist Church, on February 19, 2017. Since I was not baptized as a baby, we did not have a gown that she could wear from me, so we found a gorgeous one at a local baby clothing store. Both fortunate and unfortunate, we purchased this dress for 40% off (fortunate), but the store is now out of business and was selling everything at a discount due to this (unfortunate). Brad parents actually bought her dress as a gift to Melody.

Mar 24 Eggs Benedict

Recipes

I absolutely love eggs benedict. Whenever we eat breakfast or brunch somewhere that offers it on their menu, I will order it. My favorite local restaurant that offers brunch on the weekends is called Grille 29. They serve a crabcake eggs benedict that is to die for. We also have a local bakery, Edgar's Bakery, that serves a similar version. I most recently had it while staying at the Opryland Hotel. While Brad was off work during the holidays, I really wanted to try making it myself. Unfortunately we never got around to it. So a few weekends ago, I decided I wanted to make it, so I bought all the ingredients and attempted it. I found the recipe on Food Network's website. I had never made poached eggs before, so this was definitely a new adventure. I also cut the recipe in half.
