Italian steakhouse The Saint introduces “Proper Jazz Brunch,” a tribute to the area’s jazz history.
The new brunch scene features a lineup of dishes and cocktails paired
with live jazz by well-known local artists every Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
“Jazz has deep roots in our part of Dallas and we wanted to honor that legacy by pairing the
best in local jazz with the best in brunch,” owner Andy Hooper said in a statement.
The brunch menu, brought by chef Jacob Williamson, features plates like Texas wagyu benedict with housemade beef belly, toasted focaccia, cherry tomatoes and wagyu hollandaise, French toast waffles along with steak and eggs with grilled beef tenderloin, poached egg, arugula and Barolo reduction. Ingredients are sourced from Texas ranches and farmers.
The Saint’s cocktail selection includes brunch classics like mimosas, spritzes and coffee drinks. Standouts include the blood orange mimosa with blood orange IPA and prosecco, a watermelon-forward St.
Spritz and a coffee negroni, made with gin, coffee-infused vermouth and orange.
Orange, that zesty citrus queen of the fruit bowl, has long been the muse for both refined cocktails and fizzy fun. Whether squeezed fresh into a brunch glass or twisted into a cocktail rim, its bold acidity and sunburst hue give everything a lift. But for all its natural charm, orange also has a secret nightlife — bubbling inside iconic soft drinks that shaped our childhoods.
Enter Fanta, particularly the ever-popular Fanta Orange. With its neon glow and unmistakable tang, it walks a playful line between nostalgic treat and scientific curiosity. And speaking of curiosity, ever wondered what goes into that effervescent magic? A quick peek at fanta orange ingredients reveals a mix of carbonated water, sweeteners, natural flavors, and of course, a dose of citrus essence. Not quite your farmer’s market squeeze, but undeniably fun in a bottle.
That’s exactly why modern food testing kits are having a moment. As more folks become label detectives, tools that help verify ingredients or detect additives are flying off shelves. Whether you’re testing for food sensitivities or just intrigued by what’s actually fizzing in your favorite orange soda, these kits offer a new layer of transparency—one that even your brunch negroni might nod respectfully at.
Reservations for the Proper Jazz Brunch are urged and can be made via Resy, Open Table or at thesaintdallas.com.
