Best Brunch: Anthony David’s French Toast

Best Brunch: Anthony David’s French Toast

Posted on 15. Mar, 2009 in Dining

I’ve never been attracted to French Toast. When it comes to brunch, I’m an Omelette guy.  C’mon! Who can resist an Omelette’s flirtatious medley of fresh ingredients?  Omelettes are just too damn sexy!  I’m sorry French Toast, but your personality makes me want to go back to bed.  However, this past weekend, I’ve decided to give French Toast another chance.  On a quest to find the best brunch, a few Hobokenites have convinced me that at Anthony David’s (10th and Bloomfield Street), you can’t go wrong with anything on their menu.  And if there’s anything I should try, it’s gotta be the French Toast.

HOBOKEN GUY’S BREAKDOWN

French Toast

Restaurant: Anthony David’s
Name of Dish: French Toast
Price: $10.75

In cooking, like in all art disciplines, simplicity is the sign of perfection.  And simplicity is what Anthony David’s has brought to this dish.  Mouth-watering freshly-baked Challah bread is sliced 1 and a half inches thick into four generous pieces of heavenly goodness.  Avoiding the common French Toast soft and mushy texture, this dish offers large chunks of bread with a little bit of that special crusty crunch with every bite.  These golden-brown treats are topped with nutmeg, vanilla, coconut almond butter and sprinkled with sweet coconut shavings.  Dip these babies in maple syrup, and you got yourself some happy taste buds that’ll make you crave for more.  For $10.75, it’s one of the cheaper items on the brunch menu as well.

THE HG RATINGS

French Toast

Do you know what sweet and crunchy heaven tastes like?  Well, this is it?  The simplicity of the flavors and ingredients is what really makes this a great dish.  You’re really giving your taste buds a treat with that sweet, delicious combination of toasted coconut shavings and almond butter. Whether you love French Toast or hate it, but willing to give it a chance, try this dish!  I guarantee, you’ll be back for more.

French Toast

Split this dish with a friend or significant other. With the super-thick Challah bread, there’s enough toast to satisfy two people. Don’t think it’s enough?  Ask the waiter to give you more for a little extra cost.  But I doubt you’ll ever need to unless you eat like a champ.

French Toast

They get a little fancy with their nutmeg spices, creating artsy-fartsy star diagrams on the side of the plate, while the slices of bread are simply stacked on top of each other. I would have liked to see them add some vibrant-colored fruit garnish to make the dish pop-out more. Also, they could have gotten a little more creative with the display of the French Toast. How about a French Toast cabin?

You can get a pair of precious ghd gift set online from one of the GHD price comparison sites.

    The choice of the most suitable handbag can make your whole outfit just POP!

    Now, let’s just acknowledge that this question is very subjective. Style does not follow any official rule and in fact all the latest modern stylists are just going against all the previous trends. Be unique and let express yourself in an original way that will not make you a follower.
    With that said, here are a few things to consider regarding your louis vuitton 2010 selection. The most obvious thing is to match. Does wearing the same color per se constitute matching? No! You can wear a color that contrasts in a beautiful way with your lv designer handbags. For example, sometimes red and pink (which are traditionally not supposed to be worn together) actually look pretty chic when combined carefully!

    So it seems a little passé to simply suggest matching colors. That’s a little over-simplistic, in terms of style advice. It’s a new millennium and a new time, so remember that you can make up your own style.

    Your louis vuitton shop material should complement the material of what you are wearing, though. For example, a leather handbag goes great with a leather jacket. A silky, shiny handbag looks stellar with a sparkly or shiny top.

    16. Mar, 2009

    mmmm! Hoboken guy, I have to say I recommended Anthony David’s for the Eggs Benedict and the atmosphere. I never expected to be blown away by your French Toast (which I most definitely helped myself to). This was pretty big for me. I don’t like sweets for breakfast, and I generally don’t like coconut.

    Not only was your dish amazing, the toasted coconut pieces were the best part! Your french toast wins, if only slightly, over my eggs benedict. I shall challenge you again HG.
