For many people, Easter brunch is an annual family tradition. It is a nice way to bring the whole family together on a holiday that doesn't get quite as much fanfare as Christmas or Thanksgiving. If you don't want to put out a whole Easter spread yourself, there are a number of Memphis restaurants who will do the work for you. Some of these "brunches" will actually be served in the afternoon so you can go to church in the morning and still enjoy an elegant brunch.
