Inflation Has Come For Dallas Brunches, and Diners Are the Big Winners
Brunch has long been one of the most popular meals in Dallas, on par with steak and barbecue culture in terms of importance, albeit among somewhat different groups of people. But something is happening in the world of brunch lately: The return of the all-you-can-eat brunch. It began with Crown Block, which launched a Sunday brunch buffet in true Vegas style back in September 2023. The idea didn't immediately catch on, but this was the first fine dining spot in town to try making an all-you-can-eat brunch happen. It is still available for $80 a person. At the time, it was the only fine dining buffet option in town. The Michelin-recognized restaurant at the top of Reunion Tower offered stations for beef carving, an array of fresh sushi offerings, a cereal bar, tasty pastries, bagels with all of the fixings including lox, a juice bar, and the ability to order a main entree from a set menu that is prepared and delivered to your table. With still-rising inflation draining consumers' and business owners' budgets since 2020, and food costs up by nearly 24 percent according to the USDA, it's no surprise that other restaurants have joined the buffet brunch trend in 2025. Dallas restaurants are approaching it from many different angles. This spring, a couple of notable fine dining restaurants followed suit, launching fancy all-you-can-eat brunches of their own. In March, Catch rolled out its Sunday Brunch Experience, complete with seafood towers, carving stations, pastries, a sushi bar with curated options, caviar service, a robota grill with items like steak and salmon, and a selection of what it calls 'brunch classics' which includes chicken and waffles, chilaquiles, and a Greek yogurt parfait. When April rolled around, Nobu followed suit with a Sunday brunch menu of chefs' favorites chosen by the staff. It includes live stations for sushi, salads, pastries, and desserts, featuring a ribeye carving station, a whole Scottish salmon carving station, and a matcha mochi waffles station. It upped the fancy brunch ante with a DJ. Both spots offer all-you-can-eat for $75 per person, with cocktails available at an additional charge. This micro-trend could be written off as out-of-town restaurateurs bringing their flashy buffets for a brunch service that's easy on the staff. However, on the first day of June, DFW-born Culpepper Cattle Co. rolled out a weekend brunch buffet at its locations in Deep Ellum and Rockwall, with Tex-Mex and comfort food favorites like made-to-order omelets, prime sirloin, chicken-fried steak, white cheddar grits, monkey bread, and more. The cost is wallet-pleasing at $28 for adults and $10 for kids, with kids under five eating free. The build-your-own Bloody Mary bar is an additional $8; alternatively, opt for DIY mimosas for $5 extra. Restaurants are betting on the buffet brunch to save money on worker hours, because the format doesn't require table service, while hopefully attracting more deal-seeking customers to its dining room. The newly opened Flamant in Plano offers a brunch that lands between these options, with an all-you-can-eat option on weekends for $40 per person and $20 for kids under 13. This one, however, is not a buffet. Co-owner Tanner Agar tells Eater Dallas that the team opted for table service to replicate a European midday meal, featuring small plates such as fried spinach and artichoke toast, fritattas, skillet pancakes with smoked honey butter, and cannoli French toast made with smoked sourdough. Flamant is much smaller than any of the other restaurants doing buffet brunch, so the bet here hinges on diner volume, and seeing who'll get more value from the $40 cost. See More:

UK Angling App Catch Launches in the US, Casting Its Line Across the Atlantic
06/11/2025, London, United Kingdom // PRODIGY: Feature Story // Catch, a United Kingdom-based angling app, has announced its expansion into the United States market. Its mission has always been to digitize and modernize the outdated and fragmented recreational fishing experience. Now, the company is bringing its community-first, tech-driven model to the American angler market, introducing a new era of fishing innovation and connectivity in the region. 'We started Catch to solve a particular problem we saw in the UK: outdated, disconnected experiences for anglers and fishery owners. We digitized what was essentially a paper and post-it note industry,' Catch co-founder Tim Price says. 'But the mission was never about the UK alone. The US has an enormous and vibrant angling community, and we heard their appetite for something better. This expansion is about meeting that demand with a platform shaped by anglers, for anglers.' Catch was born out of the dual passions of its founders. They have a lifelong love of fishing and an extensive background in technology. When the company launched in the UK in 2022, the recreational angling scene was largely offline. Venues operated without modern booking systems, marketing strategies, or even websites, relying on word-of-mouth, social media pages, and walk-ins. For anglers, finding up-to-date information or making bookings was cumbersome, inconsistent, and frustrating. Catch tackled these inefficiencies by building a centralized digital ecosystem. 'We developed Catch to be a marketplace that connects thousands of UK fishing venues with tens of thousands of anglers through a single platform,' Price says. Session Timeline Essentially, Catch is about delivering convenience, insight, and community. Anglers can discover top venues, book spots with confidence, track catches with AI-assisted reports, and record tactics and conditions through session notes. Features like Catch Blueprints allow users to map out their favorite fishing locations, while Pro Rewards offers exclusive discounts on fishing gear. These features were directly shaped by feedback from the Catch community. Every product decision has been driven by the needs and desires of real anglers, creating an evolving platform that grows with its users. Its impact in the UK has been evident. The growing community frequently praises the ease of use and the added peace of mind it brings. As one UK user said, 'I used this app four times now to book our fishing weekends away. Their customer service is the best I have ever experienced. I would highly recommend it.' Others echo this sentiment, calling it 'the future of fishing' and applauding the simplicity and transparency of the user experience. Now, with its entry into the US market, Catch is poised to deliver that same value to a new audience. While the American fishing landscape differs significantly, Catch will focus initially center on its companion app features. These include AI-powered catch reports, session tracking, blueprints, and angler rewards. This launch model reflects an understanding of the segmentation within US angling culture, from freshwater bass anglers to saltwater charter groups. Catch Report Catch looks forward to delivering a uniquely American experience through the app. The upcoming months will see the release of tailored features that reflect regional fishing styles, license systems, and species preferences. Beyond that, Catch plans to become the go-to platform for fishing guides and captains, helping them fill boats and reach new customers through free listings and integrated booking systems. A key part of the Catch roadmap includes partnerships with US-based fishing guides and captains. These collaborations aim to streamline the booking experience for anglers and guides at no cost to the guides themselves. As with everything in the Catch ecosystem, the emphasis is on enabling connection, boosting visibility, and removing barriers.
