In response to the oft asked question, ‘What do Indians eat for breakfast?‘, I’ve decided to answer with a new menu and format at the inaugural Hush Brunch. I will be serving a feast of numerous breakfast, lunch and street food dishes from India, mainly from the western state of Gujarat. Gujarat is famous for chaat, a wildly popular type of street food. These dishes are rarely found in Indian restaurants. Also, it wouldn’t be brunch without bottomless masala chai. If you’d like a stronger beverage, Hush Brunch is BYOC = Bring Your Own Champagne. Hush supplies the orange juice, you supply the champagne for mimosas.

In keeping with the storytelling tradition of Hush Supper Club, I will share the strange tale of how tea first came to India (hint, it was not thousands, or even hundreds, of years ago) as well as the history of street food in India, complete with chutney tastings, photographs and spice mixtures.
