Denver Brunchfest 2018
By Jon Jon Lannen

Denver knows how to brunch and boy did it on Sunday, August 12th, 2018. What went down? Sunday Funday rang in the 2nd Annual Brunchfest. As the 11 Creative says, "BrunchFest is the ultimate Sunday Funday experience for Denver brunch enthusiasts who like to Brunch SO Hard." Brunchfest is presented by the Denver Brunch Club and 11 Creative.

That Podcast hosts LPiddy and Jon Jon were invited to Brunchfest this year and it was a great time. As mentioned, this is the second Brunchfest to nestle itself between the Denver Capitol and Denver Courthouse in Denver's Civic Center Park. The event was a huge success with delicious drinks, Denver's best bites and avid Brunchers abound!

Along with delightful brunch samples from a ton of different local Colorado restaurants, each entrant was entitled to bottomless mimosas and bloody Mary's. The event had unlimited champagne, courtesy of Korbel Champagne and refreshing vodka drinks, courtesy of Keel Vodka. All to benefit the fantastic organization, Minds Matter Denver.
