129 – Top 5 Brunch Menu Items

Brunch: One Meal to rule them all.

Once upon a time, there was (probably) a person who woke up too late for breakfast and thought of the genius idea of combining both the powers of breakfast and lunch into one powerhouse meal full of eggs, pancakes, hash browns, coffee, and alcohol.

The world is a better place because brunch exists! So join Tuong and Pull the Plug’s Justin Godelie, Shannon Godelie, and Dan Foerster as they put on their stretchy pants and feast at the PodCavern Diner while ranking Top 5 Brunch Menu Items!
