For me, brunch needs to be a meal that replaces the first and second meals of the day. i.e. if you ate breakfast already, the next meal is lunch, regardless of the contents. I also feel that brunch needs to have a traditional breakfast food item like eggs, to qualify. If you just have a burger without an egg on it, it's hard to call that brunch. I also consider dim sum to be -definitely- in the brunch category, if it is it's own thing.
I LOVE that Urban Dictionary definition! I really must get more into the UD. And for me, brunch is anything late morning or the middle of the day that includes eggs lol.
Agreed. Eggs mean it’s brunch. Yeah UD definitely has some great definitions. I quote them a lot. Check out my Idioms newsletter. There are a couple good UD definitions there.

I totally agree that a traditional breakfast food item is a condition of calling the meal brunch.
