Message: | Mmm, French toast! You said it, girl.
It sounds like you prefer the purist route, but if you ever want to go hog-wild, try the f-toast at Swingers in Santa Monica. I'm not saying it's the best in L.A., but it has it's charms.
(I know, Swingers probably sounds like a passe-trendy venue, too many associations with the movie of the same name, but hear me out...)
OK, this is a gnarly plate of food. They plop an improbable collection of ingredients on the toast -- bacon, bananas, what, whipped cream? I think some of it is stuffed into the toast, too. Whatever! Sounds ghastly, but somehow it all comes together. Grease, meat, salt, sweet, starch...it's a party.
I can't vouch for the quality of the maple syrup -- with all the noise of the other ingredients, it gets shouted down anyway.
Again, not for the purist, but after a long night of revelry (they're open late), my impure side takes over, anyway. |
