Brunch by definition is "a late morning meal eaten instead of breakfast and lunch," but it means so much more than that. Brunch can soothe your sadness and give you hope. Whether it's bottomless brunch or pay by the plate, brunch is there for you when no one else is.

There is absolutely nothing like waking up in the morning to a sweet text from your bestie, "Brunch?" I would definitely call myself a brunch enthusiast. Stuffing your face until you feel ill after a long night? Yes please.

The best brunch by far that I've ever had in my life is the all-you-can-eat brunch at Farmers Fishers Bakers in Washington, D.C. Not only were the options of what you could eat endless, but you could literally nap in the cinnamon rolls. Like, seriously, go to sleep in the cinnamon-y goodness. The brunch was so good, but I nearly missed out on it by making a rookie mistake. I started with the breads, and then tried to fit everything else into my stomach. Of course, every brunch-er knows you must start with the light items, i.e. eggs, yogurt, etc. And end with the powerhouse breads like cinnamon rolls, french toast, and pancakes. Don't worry, I learned my lesson, and I'm here to share my knowledge with you.

I, like many of my friends, live in Lexington, Kentucky. Not exactly what you would call the brunch capital of the world. However, I've found more than a few hole-in-the-wall brunch places I strongly recommend, and here they are:

1. Josie's

This place is an absolute go-to if your parents are in town. There is always a line out the door, so you know it's good.

My pick: Biscuits and Gravy

2. Lexington Diner

This place is one of the cutest in Lexington. It gives off a very home-away-from-home feel with friendly waiters and homemade pies.

3. Limestone Blue

With an endless menu and a cute outdoor sitting area, who wouldn't want to go?

Brunch on!
