Okay, most of my fun is derived from eating at this juncture, so this post will be devoted solely to the amazingness that is brunch at Brocach Irish Pub.
They have two locations -- one in Mad-town, which is kind of a dark little hole in the side of a building, very close to Monona Terrace (which means that next time you're at State Music Convention, it's probably worth a stop by) and the second in downtown Milwaukee. The Milwaukee is much, MUCH lighter and brighter than Mad-town and it's in a developing area right on the river on the slight north side. It's about 1800 Water St. If you know where Trocadero is, then, Brocach is about two blocks up.
The menus are different at both places and I DEF prefer the Milwaukee brunch menu -- more choices that don't involve meat. I like meat, but sometimes I like a good mushroom. Like yesterday. Biscuits with mushroom gravy for me!
It was a giant butter biscuit, cut in half and covered with mushroom gravy, two scrambled eggs (or whatever choice of egg you like), and potatoes. It was SO good! If only I could have had the mimosa with brunch. It was a real one too -- Trocadero last year made theirs with WINE and OJ. Wine? Really? Where's the champagne baby?
I can't wait to go back again for brunch. I don't know when that will be, but it will be sometime, for sure.
I totally could have eaten all of my food at breakfast, but I saved half the biscuit and three potatoes to take home. And I had them for lunch today at work. Guess what?! It was still JUST as amazing as when it was cooked. You know how gravy can separate a bit? Not this gravy. Oh my gosh. I'm drooling just thinking about it now.
So, anyway, it's a little pricey, but it's not any worse than, say, Red Lobster. Plus, it's much more delicious.

Gary (mine, not the Nate) went to the Brochachchahchhhakahak in Madison over St. Pats weekend and it was basically delicious. Like, food-to-face, and shove. Only thing is our waitress was wearing some sort of ye olde serving wench costume...um excuse me, the Renn faire is over.
I just starting salivating. Could be because "biscuit" and "gravy" are some of my favorite words...
