Two Spots for a Weekday Brunch

Brunch

Two new spotsโ€”Roostย in Darien, CT and Wellmade Marketย in Cos Cobโ€”are serving weekend-style brunch dishes in relaxed settings throughout the week. โ€œCrave-worthy breakfasts and lunches are no longer just a weekend thing. Whether it is a Monday breakfast meeting or a late lunch with friends mid-week, our customers want great tasting and satisfying food all week long,โ€ says Mike Pietrafeso, chef and owner of Roost (and Adaโ€™s Kitchen + Coffee in Riverside, CT). Both Wellmade Market and Roost specialize in interesting egg sandwiches (try โ€œThe Cardinalโ€ at Wellmade, which incorporates spicy beef chili) and variations on avocado toast (Roost tops their version, shown here, with shaved radishes, cilantro and pickled onion).
