A transplant to Southern California, I have never understood while people around here think Marie Callendars has great pies. Frankly, I can't imagine why anyone doesn't just make their own pies for Thanksgiving, but that's another tangent altogether. I'd never been very impressed with Marie's lunch and dinner menu. Recently, however, we went to their Sunday brunch buffet. It was wonderful! They had a delicious omelet station, a carving station, and a waffle station, in addition to smoked salmon, enchiladas, cereals, fruits, juices, bacon and sausage, biscuits and gravy, etc. It's definitely the only reason to go to Marie Callendar's in my opinion. Too bad they don't open until 9am on Sundays, since we get out of church at 8:30.
