There is no definite origin for brunch. However, it was the 1930’s where this tradition really picked up speed. It was during this time, that hotels really championed the event. The majority of restaurants were closed on Sundays and church attendance was waning after World War II. People were looking for a way to socialize and the hotel industry knew just what to do. Soon after, restaurants started jumping on the trend. They were creating decadent food and, of course, signature morning cocktails. Brunch was officially a trend!
