The Grill at Leon Springs - Sunday Brunch Buffet

Ah yes….brunch.

I’ve always thought of brunch as a culinary peculiarity capitalizing primarily on three demographics: church-goers, the elderly, and yuppie married couples. Basically, the people wearing slacks on a Sunday.

But I hold a special place in my heart for whoever made it socially acceptable to drink booze before noon on the “Lord’s day”. Remember - you’re not an alcoholic as long as it’s mixed with juice and served in a champagne glass….

As a side note, Mey giggles a bit every time she orders a Champagne and OJ cocktail. It seems that “Mimosa” is a common brand of feminine sanitary napkin in Peru.

On to the review…
After a spirited top-down drive down through the hill country in Mey’s car, we found ourselves in Leon Springs with a hankerin’ for some breakfast. We walked into a rather empty restaurant at about 11:45, ordered some cranberry juice and made our way to the buffet.

Since everyone has the attention span of a gnat these days (myself included), here’s the lowdown on The Grill via PowerPoint. Click on the drop down arrow to zoom in if you'd like. Or click on the link to go to a bigger view.

I feel a little un-American saying this, but…..the portions were too big. I know, I know… I might as well confess that I think monster trucks are vulgar and that Pamela Anderson is excessively endowed. So what's the problem with large portions? I ended up feeling like an overindulgent slob for not cleaning my plate, and I didn't get to taste a bit of everything. My tastebuds are promiscuous.

I feel it was a bit overpriced. In today rough economic times, a $19/person brunch buffet should include coffee and juice. It didn’t. Total bill (including tip) came to about $60.

I suppose nobody told Chef Thierry that we’ve had two consecutive quarters of contracting GDP. I don't think he's worried as it seems he has enough coin to spring for a slick new website.

This isn't really a full review, so I'll forgo the detailed Cuy breakdown and just stick to the overall score. Drumroll please........

Did you just roll out of a Cougar's bed in the Dominion? Get her to take you here in the morning. Don't spend your hard earned coin and it'll be a lot more enjoyable.

If anyone knows of a better way to upload and link to a ppt file, please feel free to leave a comment for me with instructions. Thanks!
