Birmingham Toast

Every once in a while you just have to splurge on the weekend and enjoy brunch out. Toast in Birmingham is a great experience. They are known for their bloody marys with dill pickles and dill-infused vodka.  Yesterday, their special was a bellini which is peach juice flavored with vodka then added to a bubbly wine and served in a chilled martini glass. Molto bene. We love their wide variety of eggs benedict served with grits.

Toast in Ferndale

The restaurant called Toast in Ferndale has been voted the best breakfast spot nine years in a row.  They must be doing something right. Decor is simple--a bunch of antique toasters on the wall and lots of interesting chalk art.  In addition, the food is extraordinarily outstanding.  Pictured above is the spinach eggs benedict that was very scrumptious especially with the red skin potatoes. Many tantalizing offerings make us want to return, like a giant smothered burrito, strawberry-rhubarb french toast and huevos rancheros! They offer a huge selection of gourmet sandwiches for lunch.  Service was blissfully sweet.  Atmosphere convivial (and that's a good thing!), but not a lot of seats though so be prepared to wait in line. It's worth it. There's another Toast in Birmingham, but we haven't tried that one yet.  We hear that Wednesdays there are wine down nights with half off on their glasses of vino.
