Hash Kitchen is brunch as nightlife: DJs, a 50-topping build-your-own Bloody Mary bar and tables treating 11 AM like Saturday night. Chef Joey Maggiore — son of the late Tomaso Maggiore of Tomaso’s — opened this Gainey Village original in 2015, and it has since grown into a multi-state chain. This is where it started, for better or louder.
Split one sweet showpiece and one hash per pair. The Cap’n Crunch French toast is the famous one; the hash keeps you upright.
When to go: weekdays if you want the food without the festival. Weekend mid-mornings in winter and spring are the crunch.
