Buttermilk Channel Now Open for Brunch
I've already to been to Buttermilk Channel more times than I can count for dinner, so it's with a great sigh of happiness that I report the charming Carroll Gardens restaurant is now open for brunch. Sadly for me, this has not gone without notice from the rest of the neighborhood, and my party of two had a 25 minutes wait at 12:30 p.m. My order of pecan pie french toast (appropriately slice like two pieces of pie, above) was heavenly: the bourbon, molasses and toasted pecans certainly didn't hurt ... nor did the whipped cream on the side. Despite all the trappings, it wasn't too sweet, and an excellent foil to the huge side of bacon we ordered, swore we wouldn't finish and then fought over for the last piece. My dining companion had the Eggs Huntington, the restaurant's version of eggs Benedict, which was refreshingly light for not being a very light dish. And, the biscuits on which it was served definitely hold their own--but no harm in dousing with some hollandaise. Oh, and brunch includes coffee or tea and a bloody mary (excellent with lots of cayenne), mimosa or bellini. Yum. And it opens at 10 a.m. for those early risers.
Other reports?

You don't know how happy I am to hear this. I went down there two weeks ago only to be met with a "Brunch coming soon!" sign. Yay! 10am here I come!
I like their brunch better than their dinner.
So very law-abiding, too: it was the first time I ever had a restauranteur forbid me from ordering the complimentary bloody mary before noon due to some archaic blue law. Who knew?
that blue law thing happened to me at char 4... nothing makes a tired momma more angry than being denied her bloody mary!!!
Damn, that looks good.

OMG, my comment went thru! That almost never happens. Really, I'd say that about 19 out of 20 times I try to post on here it does not work.
I have to admit that looks really good. Guess your wait is going to be a little longer. Count me in.
