Maggiano’s New Brunch Menu Features A MASSIVE Meatball Benedict

When you think brunch, you typically think of mimosas, French toast, pancakes, eggs, bacon, and a great way to start off the weekend.

You probably don’t think about meatballs when you think about brunch. Italian restaurant chain Maggiano’s did, however, and they brought it into their new brunch menu in a BIG way.

Maggiano’s began serving brunch at the end of February, offering twelve different dishes for their weekend brunch menu, five of which you can order on the regular lunch menu throughout the week. Some items being featured include benedicts with items like crab cakes and ham, Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, Creme Brulee French Toast, Chicken & Waffles, and an Italian Sausage Frittata.

The most intriguing item across the entire spread has to be this Meatball Benedict. It’s a cultural mashup at the sauciest level possible.

I mean, who thinks to take something as classically Italian as this mondo meatball and stick it into America’s most luxurious brunch staple? I’ve certainly never seen it until Maggiano’s came out with this beastly benedict, which is basically the best of both worlds when it comes to Italian-American fare.
