Going
to brunch at the Langham Huntington Hotel is sort of like walking into
an old-fashioned candy store – you know, with rows upon rows of
brightly colored candy all begging to be eaten. The Langham brunch
offers up table after table of wonderful food, all so appealing to the
eye and palette. (Unfortunately I have but one stomach to give to my
brunch!)
Tales from the Vault
