Ramen for Brunch Forget cereal and oatmeal. Taan Noodles wants to make sure if you eat anything out of a bowl for brunch, it's ramen.

Not Your Typical Parfait The parfait on the brunch menu at 14th Street's Le Diplomate is not made of yogurt and fruit. The French bistro's foie gras parfait consists of chicken liver and fennel aigre-doux. Bon appetit! (Courtesy Le Diplomate Facebook)

24-7 Treats The great thing about The Coupe being open 24-7 is that you can get ... well, anything for brunch. But if you want to stick to the theme, try the brunch burger. It's an 8-ounce burger, topped with bacon, cheddar and a fried egg. It's kind of breakfast, but not really. (WTOP/Rachel Nania)
