Toast in Ferndale

For the sake of posting something, I'm going to gush about my breakfast yesterday.

It was so tasty, I felt like tap dancing and flipping the table over.

I went to Toast in Ferndale, with Jimmy, my uncle Jeff, and my lovely cousin Kira. I had heard wonderful things about Toast, but had never been. Now I want to go every weekend until I try everything.

Jimmy had the Spicy Cali omelette, which has tomatoes, herbs, guacamole, salsa, and pepperjack cheese. He chose home fries and the marbled rye toast. I only stole a bite of the toast, which I assume is homemade. It was heavenly. Lots of flavor, but it wasn't heavy. MmmMM! Kira got the Greek omelette, which had spinach, kalamata olives, tomatoes, pinenuts and feta. Brilliant! I'm so used to seeing the standard coney island Greek omelette; gyro meat, tomatoes, onion, feta, side of tzatziki. Toast raises the bar a few notches with their version.

I have a proven method of testing the worth of a breakfast dining establishment. Eggs benedict, or biscuits and gravy. The restaurant must make either (or both), and make it well! Unfortunately for me, Toast has both items on their menu. It was an extremely tough, taxing, emotional decision.

....Not really. I'll go back next week and get biscuits and gravy.

Uncle Jeff and I ordered essentially the same thing. Mine was traditional eggs benedict, he got the "sausage benny", which is sausage instead of Canadian bacon.

And the heavens opened up, and rained hollandaise. What a good time! What a party in my mouth! Their ham was exceptional, the pig must have eaten brown sugar and love. It was served on pieces of baguette that weren't too crusty, and a delightful switch from an English muffin. The eggs were poached just right, with a garnish of green onions, they added a perfect zip. Normally, they also put tomatoes on their eggs benedict, but I'm anti-tomato. Save your gripes, I've heard it all, I just don't like 'em. Get over it.

I chose the southern fried cheese grits as my side. What a good choice. A crispy crust of cheese, with creamy grits hiding underneath. I don't know how they do it, but it's magic.

I can't stop thinking of nice things to say, but I've got to end this somewhere. I recommend to go check out Toast yourself! You could tell them Cait sent you, but they'd probably look at you like you're crazy!
