Decided to take Brian on a brunch date but our &#8220;go to&#8221; place HomeGrown had a 2.5 hour wait. I really should have put us on the waiting list when I first woke up that day but it was going to be a nice leisurely day so I didn&#8217;t really mind waiting, even if we had to wait an hour. I just didn&#8217;t expect 2.5 hours. Anyway, we decided to go to Livingston&#8217;s Diner instead and made the best of it. There was no wait there.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/53519679262\/in\/photostream\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53519679262_f17edaf298.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Livingston&#8217;s Diner was voted &#8220;best breakfast&#8221; in Wichita for 2023 so it baffles me that there&#8217;s rarely ever a wait here; whereas there is always a wait at HomeGrown. I told Brian will have to go to both places back to back and confirm. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/53520974914\/in\/photostream\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53520974914_9a752a4173_c.jpg\" width=\"500\" alt=\"Untitled\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I started with a mimosa because can you even call it brunch without one?<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/53520889104\/in\/photostream\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53520889104_eb0eaca935_c.jpg\" width=\"500\" alt=\"Untitled\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here are some pictures of our breakfast.

The free cinnamon rolls they give you are smaller than I remembered but at least they&#8217;re free. Doo-dah doesn&#8217;t give you free monkey bread anymore.
