Brunch With Us At OC Weekly’s Fresh Toast!

Presented by Orange Coast Alfa Romero & Fiat, The 2017 OC Weekly Fresh Toast event is primed to be one brunch-a-licious party at Newport Dunes on Saturday, March 25. While we teased a morsel of what to expect, the final list is in our sights. Are. You. Ready. To Brunch?

Our Bloody Battle of Marys finds eight competitors ready to fight for the right to call themselves the best. Check out and vote for your favorite with samples from Saint Marc, the upcoming Hendrix Restaurant, Ecco, Backyard Mary (returning champ), The Hub Kitchen & Taps (judges’ favorite), A&O Kitchen + Bar, The Deck and 90 Pacifica Restaurant & Wine Bar. Our suggestion: get some food in your belly first.
