Mary's Of Course is featured in the Thursday, March 6, 2008 issue of Relish Magazine, in an article by Laura Giovanelli about the best brunch places that met her grade for creativity, coziness and stretching the boundaries of Benedict! In part, the article says, "It’s fair to say that Mary’s Of Course! sets the standard for creative Sunday brunches. That’s the day of the week when owner Mary Haglund brings out the big brunch guns." She also reviews The Cotton Mill, Christopher’s and the Green Valley Grill in Greensboro, as well as mentions Turmeric, Starr’s New Southern Cuisine in Mocksville and The Kitchen at Elkin Creek Vineyard in Elkin.

Roll with the Brunches (from Our State Magazine)

Mary's Of Course was featured in the May 2007 issue of Our State Magazine, in the Tar Heel Tastes department! The title of the article is "Roll with the Brunches" by Jimmy Tomlin, with fantastic photos by Greensboro's on Nyght Falcon. Feel free to check out their website, though they don't publish online (or archive anything); and buy the issue soon or back order it to read the article.

The food is oh so fine at Mary's Funky Cafe (from The Winston-Salem Journal)

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Thank heavens. Or thank Mary Haglund. Just when it seemed we'd lost some of our most comfortable "alternative" eating places - we bow our head here at the demise of the Horse's Mouth and Penny Universitie. Just when we were losing heart .... Everything combines to make this place seem like a funky home away from home; one that feels as if it's been a favorite forever... And the food! The food here is the real thing."

"These treats are no surprise to folks who have known Haglund over the years. She's been a presence behind the stove in her own catering business, and in some of the restaurants this one most resembles. Although the style may be similar to, say, the Rainbow or the Horse's Mouth, the food thus far at her own restaurant is even better. Her business card defines her as "the woman who loves to cook," and folks, that's no lie."
