Memphis At the Santora is a bit of a cliché in this paper's pages, but damned if it's not a true one. And while we usually celebrate it for its bars and Southern-inspired lunches and dinners, let's not forget its Sunday brunch: crawfish omelets, eggs Benedict so buttery you can taste a stick in every dip, nuanced brioche French toast, and green-chile grits tasting of Hatch and bottomless mimosas. Add Memphis' patio, overlooking downtown Santa Ana's bustle, and you'll wonder why you'd ever want to eat anywhere else.
