Before diving into the the brunch world (exclusively), I kept a personal blog where I outlined major events in my life, brunch outings, etc. Upon a lot of reflection, I lost the drive to constantly post fluff updates on my life and wanted to focus more on what has now become "Brunch Broad." With that said though, I have already been to and "reviewed" a number of hot brunch spots in Kansas City. I think that what I'll do is copy those posts from my former blog and revise them a little bit for this format. Check them out as they're posted for some great restaurants to try!!

My husband and I started reviewing brunch spots back in January 2015 when I found this list of the BEST BREAKFASTS IN KC. Since then, the list has been updated and I've made a few changes along the way. The pace was roughly one place per month, but with holidays and such there are still a few to try.

The first place we tried was FARMHOUSE. Farmhouse is an eclectic little place down off Delaware and Main near City Market in Kansas City. They are open all day, have a full bar, host live music, and are sourced from a number of local farmers (so cool!!).

Let me just be honest with you, if you know me well enough you know that I am not a huge breakfast person. Part of my intention with going to these brunch places was to branch out and try new things. When we arrived, I remember being happy that when we got there, instead of breakfast, they had a BRUNCH menu. It made it feel like a little bit of an easier transition for me into all of these breakfasts! This is so funny now because I love love LOVE brunch.

Here are some shots of our food, and then I'll give you my opinion on the experience. As I revise this, I have added new commentary in an italicized font.

Okay, so first thing is first... when we got there, the hostess asked if we had a reservation. For 10:30am on a Sunday morning. Now, I'm not delusional to believe that brunch isn't a busy time on Sunday... but... a reservation? Huh. Interesting. Luckily, we didn't have to wait long (15 minutes?) and it gave us time to peruse their menu. They had options from build-your-own omelets, to chocolate chip pancakes, to brunch burgers, so we had a ton of things to choose from. This is so funny to me now because I make reservations every time I brunch somewhere now! It is so much easier to have a reservation and not have to wait.

I noticed while we were waiting that they served their coffee in French presses to each table - how neat! Here's what we ordered --

• Brunch Burger: Pork sausage patty, lettuce, onion, bacon cream cheese, fried egg, on a salt and pepper bun.
• Lord Kenzo: Two house-made biscuits, cheddar cheese, pork sausage patty, pork sausage gravy, over-hard Windhaven Farms' egg

Now, when it comes to my food, let me tell you... I've never had anything like it. It was DELICIOUS. My only complaint is that the cream cheese made the bun slide around a little bit, so I had to cut my burger into four pieces to eat it, but what a menial task to face in trade for something so fantastic. All of the ingredients tasted fresh, everything was seasoned well, and to top it off, I had homemade fried potatoes with my burger which was just the icing on the cake.

I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others. Due to a server who was only seen a couple of times, I gave Farmhouse a: 9/10.
