All this brunch talk may have you wondering — how exactly did “brunch” become a thing?
In the US, the concept of brunch likely started in hotels because traditionally, restaurants in most cities would be closed on Sundays. After World War II, Sundays also came to be known for different social habits, like sleeping in. But you could blame “Sex & the City” + the rise of bottomless mimosas for brunch as we know it today.
