In honor of this weekend\u2019s Hay Festival Forum<\/a> (which isn\u2019t a culinary event but worth a shout-out), we\u2019re going literary with today\u2019s brunch dish. It\u2019s kinda biblical, too, but don\u2019t worry\u2013there\u2019s also sin, hellfire, and an obscene amount of cheese. And, speaking of the dark side, we\u2019re doubling up on events in honor of Halloween. The big day is still a couple of weeks away, but we found two spirited ways to celebrate early.\u00a0<\/p>\n Read on for some eggs to die for, plus a delicious market and a wine walk gone to the dogs.<\/p>\n Eggs poached in Calabrian chili-spiked San Marzano tomato sauce with chickpeas and peppers. Topped with melting burrata and basil; golden toast on the side.

In his Divine Comedy, the 15th-century Italian poet Dante Alighieri also wrote about Purgatory, a fiery place where lost souls are cleansed of their sins. Whether or not you have anything to confess (no judgment here), Eduardo Osorio\u2019s take on Eggs in Purgatory is perfect for brunch. As part of the new menu at Anise, Osorio updated the classic dish of poached eggs in spicy sauce meant to symbolize Dante\u2019s all-consuming flames. His take adds rich chickpeas, ooey-gooey burrata and buttery bread for sopping. Bottom line: being bad tastes really damned good.<\/p>\n Anise, 5630 Village Glen Dr. (inside the Drey Hotel)<\/p>\n Saturday, Oct. 17, 10 a.m. \u2013 2 p.m.<\/p>\n The Richardson outpost of beloved bakery La Casita will host a \u201chauntingly good\u201d makers\u2019 market in partnership with Pop Up Gallery. The market will feature locally crafted jewelry and candles, plus clothing, vintage finds, and original art. While we love to shop, it\u2019ll be hard to keep our focus off the churro cruffin and its wicked house-made dulce de leche filling. Good thing we don\u2019t have to choose.<\/p>\n La Casita Bakeshop, 580 W. Arapaho Rd., Suite 154, Richardson<\/p>\n Saturday, October 17
