Here are some points for us to reflect on:

Y’all know we love BRUNCH and being a part of events that pour into the community! 🥂💖🙌

We were SO excited to find out that we were one of the select few Merchandise Vendors selected to participate in @babygotbrunchindy at Victory Field on August 19! 🥳🛍️⚾️

Baby Got Brunch is an award-winning brunch festival. They bring together some of the best restaurants and chefs in the city to compete for the title of Best Brunch Dish, and a portion of the proceeds go to a local hunger relief organization. In short, it’s a party that celebrates our culinary community while also supporting the fight against food insecurity in our city.

It’s a food festival and things absolutely get festive. A diverse array of local chefs serve up sweet and savory bites as classic ‘90s hip-hop beats set the mood 🎶 Bloody Marys, bottomless mimosas, and an open bar make sure no one goes thirsty. Attendees must be 21 or older—sorry, kiddos.
