Syma's Video Review Of Brunch At Toast Birmingham

Hello everyone!  I am loving Metro Detroit so far, but there is so much more I have to explore.  One of my first adventures in the area included my favorite meal: BRUNCH.  I love Sunday brunch.  After asking folks where to go for the best meal of the week, many people suggested "Toast." 

To put "Toast" to the test, I rounded up my co-workers to check it out with me.  I was a little disappointed that they didn't take reservations and it is a first-come first seated basis.  We ended waiting about an hour for a table for 10.  But the staff was very courteous and attentive during our wait.

Once we were seated, my mouth watered just reading the menu.  I could NOT decide on just one dish, so I decided to stretch my stomach muscles and got ready to eat a lot!

My order consisted of:  Greek Omelet.... with Southern Fried Cheese Grits, Jalapeño-Cheddar Challah and a side order of Hotcakes. 

Everyone's eyes were on my food, no one was going to believe I could eat all that, but as you can see from the video, I put a BIG dent in the dish!

It was WELL WORTH the $20-something dollars and one hour wait.  I would definitely go to "Toast" again for Sunday Brunch.

And just in case you were wondering..... I did not eat another meal that whole day.

"Toast" may very well have "toasted" the competition.
