The term “brunch” was coined by British writer Guy Beringer in an 1895 article in <i>Hunter’s Weekly</i>. Beringer argued that instead of the heavy meals that were typical after church in England at the time, a lighter meal should be served in the late morning. He described brunch as “cheerful, sociable, and inciting.”</p><p>Brunch became popular in the United States in the 1930s. It became a convenient way for people to socialize on Sundays without having to adhere to traditional meal times. Brunch has since become a staple of American weekends and a symbol of indulgence and relaxation.</p><p>Here are some good spots for brunch in Charlotte.</p><h2>Ruby Sunshine</h2><p>Ruby Sunshine is located at 332 West Bland St. in Charlotte.
