You’re all invited to come on down to the Brainery for a good old fashioned craft fair and pancake breakfast on Sunday, March 18th. (This is drop in style, by the way, no one’s going to make you hang out for 5 hours.)

Admission includes breakfast, games (involving bean bags), a raffle ticket, and the chance to hang out with some other really nice people.  We’ll be cooking up pancakes, even historic pancakes, all-you-can-eat style with plenty of OJ and coffee to wash it all down. Get your tickets in advance, we likely won’t have any at the door.

Why? Buzzards, obviously.

Hinckley, Ohio is a small town with a bizarre holiday: Buzzard Day.

The legend of this festival stretches back nearly 200 years, to the great Hinckley Hunt of 1818. Because of a sudden freeze during the hunt, the townsfolk were forced to leave behind piles of rotting animal carcasses all winter. But when those rotting corpses thawed in the spring, magic happened: flocks of turkey vultures descended upon the small town to devour the fetid flesh.

To this day, buzzards still return to Hinckley on March 15th. The following Sunday is affectionately known as “Buzzard Sunday” and draws a crowd of thousands to the local elementary school for all you can eat pancakes, games, and crafts. This year, we’re bringing the tradition to Brooklyn.

Plovgh is a place to get food directly from farms delivered to your neighborhood. They just started a Carroll Gardens pick up point on Saturdays at The Brooklyn Brainery. Sign up to order local farmer’s harvest.

It’s like a flexible CSA. Directly support a bunch of farms by getting the produce and meat you want, when you want it.

I love brunch in Brooklyn. There are plenty of neighborhood spots offering their own house-made versions of classic brunch fare. Like last week’s post on Char No. 4, Prime Meats is a perfect example. Here’s the spread:

Hey all,

I’m a bartender at People’s Republic of Brooklyn (247 Smith Street at Douglass St) and we are having an Irish themed bash, naturally. We’ll be serving a FREE corned beef and cabbage buffet, as well as cheap specials on Irish potent potables all night. Irish shots, for $3, are Jameson, Patron, and coffee. Delicious. See you there!

Best,

Natasha
