You have most definitely peaked my interest in the House of Blues Gospel Brunch! This is the first I have really heard about it. Thanks for the cool review!
Glad you liked it! We've been trying to get to one of these for the last two years - definitely worth the wait! It doesn't seem like there is much discussion of it here on the DIS, though. I was never really able to find a review before we left.
Awesome but mmmmmmmmmm, I lurve me a good spicy Bloody Mary!
You can have my Bloody Mary and I'll take your Mimosa!
I'm sooooo glad you made it to HoB! It is one of my favs and I always try to make it to the Brunch whenever I am near one -- Vegas, New Orleans, Orlando, etc. The food is always good and the music is even better!
We have yet to be disappointed in HoB no matter where we've been. It's nice to have a reliable chain with good music, isn't it?
Looking forward to more! I'll be up lots with little sleep for a few days. DS had his tonsils and adnoids taken out and tubes put in today. He HATES the pain medicine, and I have to squirt almost twice as much into his mouth to get him his needed dose. And I have to do this every 4 hours, so Life will be interesting for a while. I need more food porn!!!
Oh, poor little guy. I hope he feels better soon... you too, since you're going to be taking care of him.
More food porn coming up this evening!!
I think yours is the first positive review I've read of HoB brunch Brenda - usually the complaint is there is not enough time to eat. Doesn't sound like you had that problem. Great review - you'll be pleased to know that, despite the lack of pictures, I stayed loyal to your food report - there were pictures of alcohol and that's good for me
Hi Joh! Maybe I'm not the best judge of whether there is enough time to eat at the brunch because there were a lot of things that I didn't try, but even knowing that I skipped some items I still went through the buffet twice and Jay went three times -he made it back to the table after his third visit just as the show was starting. Maybe some of those folks arrived later than we did - we were there when the doors opened. Or maybe those people like to eat a lot more (quantity) than we do.
And thanks for reading despite the lack of pretty pictures - I will make up for it with the next few posts.
No need to worry about lack of pictures in that installment! The one of Plankton and the sponge was all I needed! That really struck a funny bone and I started my day off with a (much-needed) tears-streaming-down-the-eyes laugh!
Hi Lori! I'm glad you liked the Plankton and "spongebob" picture! It was all Jay's idea - I take no credit for it whatsoever.
House of Blues sounds excellent. If I don't stop reading trip reports, my to-do list is going to take over my life!
I'm with you on the Bloody Marys. Yuck!! Not a big tomato juice fan. But the mimosa sounds like it would hit the spot!
I don't think you can go wrong with HoB, but I wouldn't want to make your food list any longer than it already is going to be come October.
The mimosa was quite good, but it could have been colder.
I just hope my TR is as good as yours has been, I just can't get enough! And The House of Blues okay now you want me to go. Keep em coming Brenda PPLLLLEEEAAASSSEE I need me fix.
Of course your reviews will be good!! And yes, I want you to go to HoB because I think you will have a great time and a terrific meal!
Brenda, I have to remember to read your updates when I'm not hungry. Right now I could eat half the menu you just posted. (Although yesterday I was ready for some Cabo Hot Dogs).
Looks like Chuck and I have to venture outside of the Earl of Sandwich and try some new places.
Thanks for yet another update.
Hi Nancy! That dog of yours...I think I would have given him away to the first taker. You and Chuck should try Raglan Road and then House of Blues... so much fun!
"Cabo Hot Dogs"
Cabo here do you like my new shoes?,Mum bought me two new pairs yesterday but i hated them so i eat them before she got home....
For those of you who don't know Nancy... she ordered some new shoes on-line and had them delivered to her home only to find that her dog totally destroyed the UPS box and both pairs of shoes inside while the package was still on her front porch.
AWWWW! We tried to put snow shoes on our German Shepherd. Yeah...That didn't go over so well!! Our husky loved them though. She was such a girl!
It's a cute picture, isn't it?
I was worried about how you were going to take this...
Thanks for adding us to the list and for continuing to read!
Don't you just love this place! We have been here a few times for concerts. We have seen Blues Traveller(Awsome show!!) Yellowcard, George Clinton, and a couple of others that are slipping my mind right now.
We do love HoB - sounds like some great concerts you've been able to attend. George Clinton would have been great! Jay and I can't figure out why there isn't a House of Blues in St. Louis - Laclede's Landing downtown would be a great location for HoB.
Jay likes to call them sheeple.
And Vodka! Actually a Bloddy Mary made with Absolute pepper is really quite tasty. But I knw with your GI issues that would not be recommened! Talk about burnin' ring of fire!
You pretty much hit the nail on the head there, and with Johnny Cash, no less!
They saw you coming! You know, people of the cloth have a way of picking heathens out of a crowd. Call it a gift I guess! (Either that or someone tipped them off about the bathroom incident. Or the flashing innocent people for icecream scandal!)
Wow... I had no idea! And speaking of scandals... let's not forget being pantsless at Epcot!!
My DH gets the Snappy without the roasted pecans - of course it changes it to just a sundae, IMO. I think we have decided to wait on the cruise. Instead we are going back close to Christmas and taking my sister's 2 kids. We are going to stay at a monorail resort - Poly or CR. Cruise maybe in 08 when my DD will be 13. Thanks for always remembering those little details!
Christmas at WDW is a pretty good trade for a cruise!
The Gospel Brunch review was great; I would love to do that on our trip especially since you said they make birthday boys and girls stand up on the stage! DH's bday is during our trip in October (and I'm celebrating my 40th there, even though it's 3 weeks late, so it being in Sept. I wouldn't have to go on stage now would I?
Thanks for reading - hope things have calmed down professionally for you by now.
Oh, that's sneaky... the hubby has to make a spectacle of himself but you don't. Happy early birthday, by the way!!
Everything sounds just yummy and now you truly have me wondering if we should do a late seating the Sunday we are there...hmmm....can still go to Little Ones EMH....but we've got ADRs at LeCellier that night...do I dare cancel that coveted one? Brenda, you've given me a
!!!!!
Don't cancel Le Cellier... you'll never forgive yourself! If you have a later seating at Le Cellier you could pull it off... I guess it just depends on how much you think you'll eat at the buffet. It was a lot of food.
As for the headache... I prescribe an expresso chiller, available at any WDW pool bar!
I haven't been to the HOB in quite a while, now you've got me thinking about doing it again soon!! Thanks for the alcohol pics!
Looking forward to FF.
You're due for a visit then, aren't you?
Once thing is almost always certain...we take pictures of the booze! And FF was awesome!!!!
Great installment!
Et tu, Brute? You cancelled your Wolfgang ressie, too?!? See, we're not the only ones. Someday we'll get there.
Hey Michelle! Thanks for reading, as always! It just didn't sound good after the brunch and we were ready for some fun in the parks. Yes, some day one of us here on the DIS will finally make it to Wolfie's grand dining room!
