9:00 AM РThe Centre Street Caf̩

The line is already forming and we’ve still got 20 minutes before the place opens. It’s sweltering outside but not even 9:00 AM – this is not a good sign. The CSC was the only place on the whole list that wouldn’t comp the meal for me, but I didn’t care – I couldn’t call myself a food critic and evaluate the best brunches in Boston without including this establishment. In hindsight, there are seven restaurants now on that short list.

This is a blessing in disguise for me – I don’t have to eat the whole thing to let them know how much I like it, but Jesus Christ is this Strata fantastic. I get two bites of the fluffy eggs and bread, one of the field green salad, and a to-go box. There are so many things today that I wish I could have eaten more of, not one of which comes from the 10:00 stop of 24 in 24: Boston
