Brunch Bliss at Mr. Peeples hosted by Donovan Lancome

Anyone who knows anything about the local EDM/bottle service club scene in Houston has inevitably crossed paths at some point with Donovan Lancome. The “selfie video ninja” host turned full-on promoter has recently left his position with Houston familiar Xtreme nightlife to strike out on his own and has seemingly struck gold with his new #SundayFunday spot at Mr. Peeple’s. As a fan of a nice boozy brunch spot to help aid the pains of a night of debauchery, I decided to take a trip into midtown to check out this much hyped by Mr. Lancome locale.
I was not disappointed.

The first thing that struck me was the size of the place. I was greeted with multiple patios, gorgeous exterior, a beautiful decor, and, of course, Mr. Lancome waiting to welcome me outside and give me the grand tour. Upon entering the upscale chic restaurant, I was welcomed by the smells of their brunch buffet, which I was admittedly a bit late to, but the scent still captivated the senses, none the less. The brunch ranged from salmon, a favorite of Mr. Lancome, to a belgian waffle bar, to standard bacon and eggs and other comfort food favorites. The service was nothing short of outstanding; it was prompt and appropriately attentive.

The added bonus to this newly discovered gem was a DJ present. Manning the decks was Albert Rowan, aka long time Houston fixture DJ Bizz. The thing that made this the icing on the cake was that this was the Bizz I was familiar with. He was dropping REAL time/venue appropriate house that not only fit with the ambiance and decor, but just made me reminisce about “classic Bizz” sets I’d heard when I was coming up in the Houston underground dance music scene.


Speaking of underground, as part of the grand tour, Donovan gave me a sneak peak of the basement level of the facility and let me know there will be an “underground feel” club opening in the spring utilizing the space under the restaurant. Another addition to the Mr. Peeples brunch regalia will be the return of SUNDANCE in March 2015- the Sunday Funday that started it all.

As I checked in on social media the thing that kept jumping to mind about the overall experience was “age appropriate”, which I of course immediately hash-tagged into my status update. I foresee great things with this new #SundayFunday gem, and I know I personally will be making it a regular occurrence.
