^ to the Sunday brunch buffet at Henrietta's Table at the Charles Hotel in Cambridge, MA. A beautiful selection of food, and all of it interesting and very fresh.

to the Mother's Day brunch at NOMI in the Park Hyatt Chicago. $100 a person, not including tip, and it was the EXACT SAME brunch they have for $55 on other Sundays. It didn't even include a flute of champagne for my mother, much less the others in the party. To top that off we had many service issues (croissants on the buffet, but we had to ask for jam; the tea I ordered was opaque and bitter because they stuffed ten cups' worth of leaves into a one-cup pot; etc. etc.). What a ripoff!
