Thursday is dedicated to all things turkey, and Friday to the turkey leftovers, but the long weekend is only just getting started. The best way to fill the gaps of awkward family time is through brunch, where no one disagrees with the delicious combinations of breakfast, lunch, coffee, and booze. The Eater Austin brunch heatmap is your guide to the newest and buzziest destinations for weekend and daytime drinking and dining. This latest update includes the inventive dishes at St. Philip, seasonal breakfast/lunch combinations at Dai Due, and diner classics at Sawyer & Co. If there's a favorite new restaurant—or an established one trying new things—that we've missed, let us know on the tipline.
