Fuck that oatmeal you’ve been eating every morning. It’s time to get Brunched.

Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s annual celebration of Tampa Bay’s best indulgent breakfast-lunch combo offerings is back, now at a new location, the Le Meridien Hotel featuring Sal Rosa.

Everglazed Chicken & Donuts, Oystercatchers, and Latitude 28 are just a few of the restaurants sampling bites, with more restaurants being added to the lineup.

Of course, it wouldn’t be brunch without booze. Some of Tampa Bay’s best bartenders will compete for the coveted title of Best Bloody Mary. The winner, voted on by guests, will earn bragging rights and a feature at this year’s Best of the Bay event in September.

A portion of the event’s proceeds will benefit Current Initiatives of Tampa Bay, a nonprofit dedicated to community empowerment through programs like the Laundry Project, Hope for Homes Project, and Affordable Christmas initiatives.

Tickets to Brunched happening Saturday, April 26 are still available starting at $45— practically less than a dozen eggs.

The VIP option includes entry at 11 a.m. (one hour before general admission), plus passed appetizers and first go at the photo opportunities.

Readers are invited to submit their own events to Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s things to do calendar.
