“My brunch crew meets up nearly every Sunday at our fave haunts, such as Med Bistro and Warehouse. But when we’re craving something a little different, we head to Mount Pleasant’s tony Red Drum, where chef Ben Berryhill dishes up delicious huevos rancheros, migas chorizo, and a chile-cheddar grit skillet. A sunshiny brunch on the pretty lounge-like patio with a bottomless mimosa or a killer Bloody Mary? We’re in!“ – Darcy Shankland, editor-in-chiefMy favorite brunch spot is H¯oM. I love any and all of their Benedict burgers, especially The Arnold. Their hand-cut fries are also delicious, and you get to choose two special sauces for dipping. I usually go with the smoked-onion remoulade and H¯oM ketchup. (Clearly I go here when I’m prepared for a feast!)” – Molly Hutter, editorial assistantHeart Woodfire Kitchen on James Island. It’s a little hidden gem off Folly Road that’s fresh and local. I love the atmosphere and their wood-oven crêpe!” – Ruta Elvikyte, photographer/assistant designer“I love Lost Dog. I always get a Bloody Mary and the “Loyal Companion”— two eggs over medium, toast, and bacon, with a side order of cheese grits to share (their grits are so good). To get seated quicker: Go on a weekday “holiday,” like Black Friday. Let them know you’ll be waiting in the park next door, where kids can run and play, and grown-ups can relax and chat on park benches.” – Melinda Monk, art directorFat Hen’s crème brûlée French toast topped with strawberries is out of this world.” – Camilla Nilsson, assistant art director“Mac Attack at Macintosh—pork belly, bone-marrow bread pudding, poached eggs...I couldn’t eat a whole one, I don’t think!” – Melissa Bigner, Charleston Weddings editor“My favorite less-trafficked spot is Black Bean Co. in West Ashley. They’ve got mimosas, live music, and a great menu including my favorite, French toast—and yet I’ve never had to wait for a table.” – Anna Evans, managing editorhe brunch at High Cotton always feels decadent. I prefer the eggs Benedict, best enjoyed slowly and followed up by a Sunday stroll South of Broad.” – Kinsey Gidick, assistant editor
