Brunch is the perfect meal. You aren't expected to eat it at the crack of dawn. No, sleep in! Roll out of bed when you feel like it. Even noon is acceptable... Then select from over the top breakfast items magically enhanced with delicious sauces and sides and pair it with a chilled cocktail. Perfection! I have my brunch sights firmly set on Hudson House who is set to debut a new weekend brunch menu this weekend, complete with "a heavy dose of New York influence". According to a press release that landed in my in-box earlier today, the East Coast-inspired neighborhood restaurant reveals that “A West Village Brunch” will be taking center stage on the new menu. From house-made cream cheese, meticulously sourced bagels from a local bakery, to thin, hand-cut slices of premium quality fresh fish, Executive Chef Grant Jones says, “We are excited to implement the new menu at both locations and feel it’s a uniquely fun addition to the brunch scene in town.”
The Hudson Tower, possibly the most impressive item on the brunch menu, is a beautifully displayed three-tiered tower that embraces a traditional offering: bagels and lox. Selections include plain, gluten free, sesame and everything bagels; customary add-ons such as cream cheese, tomato, cucumber, onion and capers; proteins to choose from include Gravlax, Cold Smoked Lox, Smoked Whitefish, Smoked Trout or Lobster. Guests can add Trout Roe to any selection for an additional charge. The tower serves 4 – 6 people.Chef Grant also takes classic American dishes but adds his own spin: Velvet Chicken & Waffles – red velvet Belgian waffle, honey butter, maple syrup and double fried chicken. Pastrami & Eggs – crispy wagyu pastrami topped with whole egg frittata, deli mustard, rye toast and crispy shallots; Lemon Pancakes – lemon ricotta cream, powdered sugar, cream cheese glaze, blueberries and whipped cream.
Hudson House’s cocktail program proves time and time again to be a guest favorite. Offerings include: THE Royal Bloody – Tito’s, house-made mix, bleu cheese stuffed olives, shrimp cocktail, shucked oyster, chili rim; Mom’s Cure – vodka, orange juice, ginger beer; Dad’s Cure – Codigo Blanco, lime juice, prosecco and more The new menu is available beginning the weekend of February 2 and 3. Brunch is served Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. at both Dallas locations.
