So you have a morning meeting, and your stomach is growing. What can you do to mix productivity with something tasty to nosh? You’ve got to have a good list of brunch places in mind at all times.
Here are some of local favorites. There are many more out there, so drop Corp! a note and let us know where you go and why.
2. Hudson Café, Detroit: What happens when you mix the sweet and the savory with a deft hand for creative recipes and plating? You get the Hudson Café. If you cannot make it downtown to this Woodward legend, try its little cousin on Mack Avenue in Grosse Pointe, The Jagged Fork. You’ll love every bite on both menus.
3. Zingerman’s, Ann Arbor: Bread. Order the bread in some way. Zingerman’s has a long-standing reputation for large quantities of delicious food. And the restaurant or any of its related businesses never disappoints.
4. Give Thanks Bakery, Rochester: There are people who live and die by the almond croissants at this downtown bakery. Everything here is fresh and made with about three heaping scoops of love. Maybe four.
6. Toast, Birmingham: This restaurant has won more awards than Julia Roberts. And there’s good reason for that. The menu is chock full of wonderful dishes that will have you coming back for another meal.
7. The Fly Trap, Ferndale: This place draws rave reviews from everyone who has enjoyed a bite there. There’s a reason why it also ended up on an episode of “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives” as one of Michigan’s best eateries.
8. Nanna’s, Wyandotte: You’ve got to love any place that serves breakfast all day. Talk about your finely crafted menus and spices. It’s delicious from start to finish.
10. Rugby Grill, Birmingham: Meeting with someone you want to impress? Bring them to the Townsend Hotel for a meal at its casual restaurant. Finish your meal and the meeting is still going? Then stay for the high tea; it’s elegant and delicious.
