Best Of Extra: More Best Brunches

The Sunday brunch rule: Pick up a plate and try everything

​One of the standard categories in the annual Best of Kansas City edition of The Pitch is Best Brunch. The combination of breakfast and lunch is an alluring proposition, particularly if it’s one of those fabulous all-you-can-eat affairs.

Since buffets can be an expensive endeavor for some restaurants, the order-off-the-menu brunch is becoming a more popular option. That’s the format at the European-style boite that we chose as the winner of this year’s Best Brunch: Brookside’s cozy Cafe Europa.

But our readers apparently like off-the-menu brunches and the classic buffets in equal measure. Their numero uno vote-getter this year was First Watch, which has numerous locations throughout the metro. And the runners-up encompassed the full range of brunch possibilities: from the hip to the homey and everything in between.

The Top 10 runners-up were, in ascending order of popularity:

10) A tie: Grand Street Cafe and Kate’s Kitchen

9) A tie: Mama’s 39th Street Diner and Nick & Jake’s

8) You Say Tomato

7) The Bristol Seafood Grill

6) A tie: The Blue Bird Cafe and Granite City Food & Brewery

5) Eggtc.

4) A tie: One80 and Succotash

3) A tie: Avenues Bistro and Tomfooleries

2) The Farmhouse

1) RecordBar

So, make your weekend plans accordingly.
