Almost 120 years ago, long before anyone waited in line to feast on eggs benedict and French toast, the word brunch appeared in print for the first time in the US.

“The latest ‘fad’ is to issue invitations for a meal called ‘brunch,’ a repast at 11 o’clock a.m..” a column in the New Oxford, an old Pennsylvania newspaper, explained in 1896. Originally conceived for the wealthy as a drawn-out, elaborate affair, brunch soon went out into the mainstream.
