Brunch Wire

This month is the Washingtonian's massive breakfast issue, which means the magazine's writers have spent a lot of time toiling over brunch in recent months. Now, Ann Limpert shares the rules of brunch that she has learned, including one good way to tell if you're headed to the right restaurant: "Is it from a top roaster such as Chicago's Intelligentsia, or is the place trying to get away with standard-issue drip? Places that take their beans seriously usually take their food seriously, too." [Washingtonian]
