Brunch can be a very good opportunity to try out new and interesting dishes. This is especially true if we're not the ones planning out these brunches, but rather attendees at someone else's brunch. Of course, it can also be quite tempting to play it safe, and simply order an old favorite we know we will enjoy.
What’s Worse, Food That Is Too Hot Or Food That Is Too Cold?
One of the worst things that can happen when ordering food is if the food gets to us and it's way too hot.

Vegan Or Meat Heavy?
