How to Upgrade Your Brunch Experience During Lake County Restaurant Week 2020

By: Jonathan Jones 02/29/2020

There are six eateries to upgrade your brunch experience during Lake County Restaurant Week

We’re taking a page out of Queen Bey’s book, so, "Partner, let me upgrade you, flip a new page. Introduce you to some new things and upgrade you."

This is perhaps the most significant decision of your life as you rub those crusty eyes after a heavy week of working hard for the money. The menus are seriously loaded to make you feast like a king. And of course, then there’s also bacon (you can’t not have bacon).

So what do you pick to eat in that awkward time span between breakfast and lunch as your stomach stirs restlessly awaiting your decision? Do you go the route where your plate is doused in maple syrup and other sweet glorious treats? Do you pack on the protein complemented with salty delights? Our advice is all of the above.

Indulge at all six of these eateries to upgrade your brunch experience in Lake County. There is no shame in visiting them on consecutive days – we support your decision.
