1. So don’t look at it ranisheen. As for me I’ll be digging into some bone marrow doughnuts this weekend for sure!

2. Wow, someone took off the vegetarian’s comments. I wonder why?

3. Great looking meals with beautiful design layout but I have to say that this meat-lover is looking for the fruit and vegetables. I just watched the documentary Food.Inc last night and then seeing all of this meat in the morning gave me a whole new look on what I want to eat. Sorry Hoof but I wont be brunching.

4. The majority of brunch goers are looking for a meal $10 or under. Save these prices for dinner!

5. None of this made me hungry….any non-meat choices? I won’t be recommending this place for brunch at all. Fois gras is just disgusting and horrible, I don’t understand why it’s even legal to serve. In today’s society, where we “claim” to be educating the masses on respect for our environment and a “cleaner earth”, why are popular magazines promoting the torturing, killing and eating of earth’s creatures? Humans aren’t so special, we’re part of a larger Eco-system and we’re just destroying it.

6. Hmmm..Rathyen and Ranisheen. Do all vegetarians have silly names? Why comment on a story like this anyway? You only come off looking foolish. I’m glad you won’t be visiting, that way there will be more tables available for those who know we’re at the top of the food chain.

9. I’m a vegetarian and I agree with all the meat eaters here. It says Food Porn right at the top of the article for heaven’s sake. If you come to an article like this expecting anything but extravagance and over the top displays of indulgence, you should maybe consider questioning your own judgement, not the eating habits of strangers.

10. Why on earth are so many vegetarians looking at the slide show? It’s like me watching gay porn….when I’m straight! Of course it’s not going to appeal to you. Go look at some lettuce!

11. The Veggies should go get a can of beans and enjoy. Christ, save your lecture for your Mamma!

12. to each is own , however these are parts of animals that are not for eating for if they were , dishes like these would surely have been around after the thousands of years that man has been on earth , fat, blood, bones yum yum

13. Right on, June 15! I too wonder at unhappy ‘veg’-lovers bothering to comment. Nor is this the place to advocate for PETA. I love vegetables and eat much more of them than do most folks, but these dishes sound divine – ALL OF THEM! Just not for every day!
    My only concern is the (and I do not object to it) no reservation rule. With a husband who cannot stand for more than a few minutes, it makes dining at Black Hoof an iffy proposition. Guess we will have to buy a portable stool…… Can’t wait!

14. We would love to host a BrunchProject event at the Kamm’s Corners Farmers Market this Summer. I am sure our friend Ellis Cooley at AMP150 would be reetinsted. Our market is on Sunday from 10-2. If you are reetinsted, please contact me at 216-978-5587. Thanks!Steve Lorenz (@Tweetmeslow)
