After spending all last night fever-dreaming about brothers, I woke up this morning hoping for some solid brother leads, and Twitter did not disappoint. But whether they qualify is another question. Let’s start with 18 Hermanos in Mexico https://t.co/nkv0Aay7VQ

18 Hermanos does produce eggs, which is food. But it doesn’t look like they SERVE food, and I think that’s the bare minimum we’re looking for here. So unfortunately I don’t think this counts. Adios.

Another intriguing option is 18 Brothers Hookah Bar. At first glance this seems like a winner, but again, when this started I was looking for restaurants. Many hookah bars do serve food, but it’s not clear if this one does. https://t.co/wleRTXHtRu

Their Instagram page seems to be their only internet footprint and it’s almost entirely just photos of hookahs. According to the bio you can rent it for a birthday party or marriage party but maybe you’d have to bring in outside food? I will report back if I find out more pic.twitter.com/pnXCntGct7

The hookah guys don’t seem to be checking their Insta messages but it’s ok because: https://t.co/nYu6AJN2yU

At first I thought this was just a store but then someone found this on their FB page. Yes it’s a store but they serve empanadas and croquettes and sandwiches on Wednesdays and Thursdays so fuck it, it’s a restaurant https://t.co/TXGiL28AnC

Are the standards getting a little looser as we climb higher? Yes, but that’s how it goes when you’re looking for a restaurant owned and/or operated by enough brothers to fill out two baseball teams.

Also this is all I think about and if it ever stops I’ll die
Also we have a legit seafood restaurant waiting in the wings already at 19. (As some people have noted “hermanos” in Spanish can mean brothers or just siblings, and I am choosing to ignore that) https://t.co/VzFEqEnipE

I can’t find 20. For some reason I though it would be easier than 19

Cafe in India. We’re still going. We shouldn’t be, but we’re still going. https://t.co/RYtoICGZWf
