I love brunch. Why?
– It combines the best foods from breakfast and lunch.
– You can sleep late without missing it.
– For whatever reason, it’s totally acceptable to booze it up. Drunk at lunch? You need help. Drunk at brunch? Good for you!
One type of brunch I’ve had elsewhere that I’ve never had in Austin: a good, old-fashioned gospel brunch. I’ve been searching around town for a while now. (See my post on Strange Brew’s gospel brunch, which was really a bluegrass concert with breakfast tacos.)
Well, folks, I finally found one! Stubb’s offers gospel brunch twice every Sunday.
You know the only thing better than tasty food? Tasty UNLIMITED food.
The music, which lasted from about 11:00-11:45, was great. The five singers were very talented and high-energy. Plus, it was proper gospel music– Jesus had a starring role (or at least a cameo) in every song. I’m pretty sure some of my sins were forgiven just from being in the proximity.
Helpful Tips:
- Definitely, definitely make reservations in advance. It’s very popular.
- Even if you make a reservation, get there at 10:30 (or 12:30, if you’re going to the 1:00 show). That way you have 30 minutes to eat/chat before the show starts.
- The concert is by no means quiet. If you have sensitive ears, I’d request a table outside. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR THE HUNG OVER.
