Read Duck Duck Goat's Brunch Menu, One of Four New Brunches

This weekend is shaping up to be a big one for brunchers, as four noteworthy restaurants are debuting weekend bunch services. This may or may not be related to Monday's Beard Awards. Check out the following rundown.

Starting this weekend, Duck Duck Goat will start serving Sunday brunch (but they're not calling it brunch, only dim sum), thus opening up more opportunities and tables for fans to try Stephanie Izard's dumplings and other Chinese treats. Brunch Dim sum will feature a hearty helping of baos. Reservations are already live, and it runs from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sundays. Reservations are already booked for this Sunday, but they'll regularly hold tables for walk-ins. The restaurant's been open for about a month. Check out the menu below.
