BK brunch

Call me old fashioned, but, to me, brunch is one of those little niceties in life; a time to join friends and loved ones to break bread, preferable over well-mixed drinks and glorious weather. I will tell you what it isn't: going to Burger King for a 'non-alcoholic mimosa'.

I am not so much of a lush that I even require athe drink, but I can't help but feel that this is missing the point of brunch and the time honored division between 'nice' sit down restaurants and fast food places. Who really would want to linger with their faux mimosa, contemplating the latest in politics, books, and gossip when you are sharing space with homeless people and tourists looking for a bathroom? I originally was going to add 'screaming kids' until I remembered, sadly, that this is a fixture at both locations and, thus, part of the joy and necessity of the alcoholic drinks with one's meal.
