Super Excessive Brunch



The Ritz Carlton holds what it calls a Super Brunch once every six months, and it’s utterly ridiculous! The normal Sunday brunches are bad enough – too much food, too much drink and not enough vegetables, but this was on an entirely different level of excess!


Rather than there being one very full room of plenty of food and drink choices, this brunch took over two main dining rooms and the entire lobby of the hotel. It was themed as “The Voyage”, with the staff dressed as sailors and airhostess, the food stands all representing different countries around the globe, and drinks being served from airhostess trolley that they pushed between rooms.


There was too much food, of ever kind, and as always, way too much drink. We indulged in chilli from Mexico, the biggest leg of roast wagu beef that I have ever seen from England, salmon from Norway, curries from India, lobster from…I can’t even remember where. There was mountain upon mountain of delicious but utterly ridiculous food and drink choices. It was incredibly tasty, but it was also insane on every level.
            I am not sure that we will do another Super Brunch in the future, but it was a great game to play just once, and it leaves me with a lot of good work to do this week before we fly out to Melbourne on Wednesday evening.
