Brunch is such an interesting concept.

This in-between phase of breakfast and lunch first became popular in the United States around the 1930s.

Today, you can find many restaurants that will serve brunch in addition to breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

What’s interesting, though, is that even though brunch is a combination of “breakfast” and “lunch,” it seems that most brunch foods are very similar to breakfast foods.

At a brunch restaurant, you would find the usual breakfast items, such as pancakes, eggs, toast, bacon, or yogurt.

You would also find these food items paired with some traditional lunch items, like sandwiches, salads, stews or wraps.

Putting these foods together results in chicken and waffles, smoked salmon and toast with eggs, shrimp and grits, eggs Benedict, or steak and eggs.
