Brinner. Breakfast For Dinner.



Brinner: America's unsung hero. The Catdog of food. The perfect combination of late night cravings and a piglet's constant need for carbs and syrup. Stuck in the shadow of Brunch for generations, Brinner has been bringing sweet joy to night owls without nearly the recognition it deserves. Well today this injustice ends! Wake up America, it’s time for Brinner! Put away your steak and potatoes (unless they're hash browns of course) and bring on the waffles and eggs!

The key to making a successful Brinner is acting on pure cravings. Being spontaneous is a must. If you plan out a Brinner like you'd plan out a full dinner, your taste buds are going to be overwhelmed and you'll become indecisive or just not hungry. In my opinion the best brinners are the unplanned ones. Head to the kitchen and whatever cereal looks best, pour a big ol' bowl. If you start craving protein just grab some eggs. If you're extra hungry make as many pancakes as you can. One should never ever worry about having too much Brinner because you can just eat your leftovers in a few hours! Amaaaaaazing. Psh, and they said I wasn't the smart sister.

Now I'm not really big on actually cooking. I'm more of a wining and dining type of girl, so I usually get my Brinner from a restaurant. The best place in the entire world to get Brinner is from Ol' South Pancake house in Ft. Worth, TX. It may look like a hole in the wall, but any place where you can get pigs in a blanket 24 hours a day sounds like heaven to me. I also am a huge supporter of Waffle Houses. You can get their hash browns traditional, covered, smothered, chunked, topped, or diced. Impressive eh? Just be prepared to sit next to fat truckers and have a woman in a hair net serve you food. It may not be pretty, but it sure is tasty.

So all hail Brinner! The greatest made up meal of the day! I recommend you all find a place near you that serves breakfast all day, head on over, and shove your faces. Mmm nothing says a goodnight's sleep like a tummy filled with warm chocolate chip pancakes. Mmm pancakes.
