Coffee and a Conversation

As Told Over Brunch is a home for intelligent discourse from the twenty-something perspective - so the stuff you gossip about over mimosas on Sunday morning or over takeout on your friend's couch when happy hour ends too early. We love chatting about our lives, whether it be the relationships we’re building (or destroying), lessons we've learned at work, struggles at school, growing pains we've felt, or even the food we’re talking over.

As Told Over Saison Market Brunch

February 04, 2018 by Sara Woznicki in Sara's Column, Richmond Brunch Review

'Tis the season of brunch-every-weekend in preparation of the best weekend of the year: Richmond Brunch Weekend!

Cazey and I ventured over to 2018 participant, Saison Market, to test out their brunch. Typically I like to read menus top-to-bottom, back-to-front prior to arrival. However, this time I went in cold without knowing what their brunch menu held.

When Cazey and I entered, we filed into a little storefront with a big chalkboard. He quickly passed me a brunch menu, which I then panicked and skimmed while the cashier waited for my decision. Cazey picked out the breakfast burrito with bacon, which is what I wanted, but with sausage ($7+$2 for bacon). He also added potato hash ($2).

Brunch Review: Helen's

I've been to Helen's three times in my life: New Year's Eve 2014, New Year's Eve 2015 and the weekend after New Year's Eve. The two New Year's Eves were totally alright, but the brunch was really alright. Pretty awesome, in fact. But it didn't start out that way.

We rolled with a total of 7 of us, which I get is a number. I walked in first to see if they could accommodate, and the lady replies with, "We don't usual take that big of a party," to which I replied, "You can totally split us up and that's fine." And not in a way that indicated it wouldn't actually be fine, because it would have been 100% fine. They also were not crowded.

She goes to check with the chef to see if they are allowed to seat 7 whole people at one table. I turn around and give my crew the half-shrug indicating we may or may not make the cut.
