Books & Records Launches New Orleans Style Jazz Brunch

One of our favorite new restaurants of the last year, Bankers Hill’s neighborhood restaurant, Books & Records, is starting off the year with the all-new launch of a New Orleans-style jazz brunch!

Neighborhood Favorite

Every neighborhood should have its ‘favorites’ – the restaurants and bars you can count on for a comfortable vibe and expectation that you’ll probably see a familiar face or two when you’re there. That’s Books & Records in Bankers Hill, which makes it the perfect place for a long Sunday brunch.

New Orleans Style Jazz Brunch

Highlights of the new menu, crafted by Chef Sam Deckman, include:

Scallop Po’ Boy Minis with diver scallop, chipotle aioli, tomato, and arugula
Banana Bread Pudding Bites with crème diplomat
Duck Chilaquiles with corn tostadas, salsa verde, lime crema, pickled onion, avocado, and sunny egg
Turkish Eggs with house labneh, za’atar, sumac, lemon, poached eggs, chili crunch, and charred baguette
Breakfast Gnocchi with maitakes, peas, everything seasoning, and a poached egg

Cocktail standouts by Beverage Director Chris D’Apice, intended to perfectly complement the brunch offerings, include the Sunday Morning with rye whiskey, scotch, maple syrup, and house bitters, Coffee + TV with vodka, coffee liqueur, orange liqueur, smoked vanilla syrup, and espresso and the Cranberry Beret with gin, housemade cranberry syrup, prosecco, and lemon.
